I want to be friendly but after watching this movie I can't. Technical parts:

Animation: Good but 2007 was a year that showed us better animation than this and you know the movie I'm talking about it. Colors movement and more are good but not enough

Sound: Average but not enough, is a shame a good cast "voices" but they didn't show us all that we was expecting, no more comments about it but is a shame.

Screenplay: Very very very average, is more uninspired, it try to be creative but at the end it is bad.

Summary: A bee that is a lawyer and starts talking then he claims for bee honey and he win, then the win all the honey production and at the end they understand that was a mistake.

What now a movie about a rat that sue us for the Baygon???

My score 2 1/2, this is not only animate, I can animate but if the story is average all the other job will be became bad too

now i have to say the humor in this movie was funny there some jokes and gags but there is one thing like the not so good ending wich may cause spoilers now this movie does not have ah good ending it wasnt that good it was alright but its not the story so far isnt that good but the writing and casting is great the story takes place in hive wich has bees there making honey and ah characther finds out that the humans are making products out of honey i have to say barry bee did ah good job thanks to jerry seinfeld you know the one from seinfeld now he later meets ah woman who helps barry the story was weak thanks to the cliffhanger ending but this is still ah good movie from overall the kids liked it the parents liked it and the humor was funny the animation was fantastic thanks to dreamworks some of the best parts were funny and overall i give this movie.

4 and half-stars out of 5.

The Good: soild voice-acting terrfic animation and ah good sense of humor makes you want to buy this dvd.

The Bad: the story is bit weak thanks to the cliffhanger ending and some perdicble stuff.

The Ugly: some of it makes want them to make ah sequal.

Just watch this movie yesterday. I thought it was funny, Little Kids won't get the jokes, While grown-ups will. It had such a great computer animataion. with a good cast. I think it's great for the whole family to watch. I give this 4 1/2 stars.

It's been a while since we've heard from good ol' Jerry Seinfeld. This family movie brings him back to his comedy days. Also starring Patrick Warburton (Family Guy), Matthew Broderick (Ferris Beuller), Renee Zellweger (Bridhet Jones), and John Goodman (Monsters Inc.) Great animations, funny script and spoofs.

There is something said about good movies but this was bad. The script was terrible, one or two jokes made me laugh, but at least I watched this on the plane trip home and didn't have to spend £7 on this boredom! The graphics were good, crisp you might say. But sadly a droning Bee who is obsessed with himself and breaking the plot of reality is just plain stupid and makes up for a stupid movie.

Bee movie was a decent attempt at an animated movie. All the level of animated movies have been mediocre and with those lines it followed closely behind. The jokes were entertaining for the setting they were in. Ending was kind of weak

Fun and light entertainment. It reminds me of such cartons as Scooby Doo, fun for kids, but the adults will get the jokes better.

  At its relaxed best, when it's about, well, nothing, the slyly comic Bee Movie is truly beguiling.

  Kids are going to adore looking at this movie, living in it, flying through and above its brilliant landscape. It's an animated joyride over a relief map of Manhattan. I just wish the script was as good as the paint.

  The movie's not even close to Pixar standards - the animation is slapdash and the story construction's a mess - but the vibe is loose-limbed and fluky, and the gags have an extra snap that's recognizably Seinfeldian.

  It has enough buzzing wit and eye-popping animation to win over the kids - and probably more than a few parents, too.

  I'm not sure what kids are going to make of Bee Movie. The shiny, vivid computer-animated images pop off the screen with the vibrancy of the Pixar movies, but the understated, throwaway humor is pure Seinfeld: adult, observational, feasting on the small ironies of human (make that "beeish") behavior.

  The riskiest move Seinfeld made was to create an unlikable protagonist who is wrong every step of the way, but treat him like a hero.

  This candy-colored animated fable is an awkward mix of corny bee puns, clever sight gags, kid-friendly action, adult-centric workplace angst and Seinfeld's distinctive navel-gazing wit. And what's up with those four-legged bees?

  On the whole, this is another disappointing animated effort and it resides considerably lower on the totem pole than this year's current non-live action champion, "Ratatouille."

  The depth of talent in the cast and gag writing shines through, but it's only just enough to take your mind off of the flat animation.
