I'm pretty creeped out by anything that pairs Miley Cyrus and John Travolta, so I go into Bolt with an obvious bias. Factor in that it's one of those super-bright, ultra-cartoony animated films and that the jokes in the trailer couldn't be much dumber ("How do you say, 'No way I'm doing this' in crazy?" was a line the producers thought would sell the film?). Finally, they used that Junkie XL remix of Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation" that was barely worth a listen when it was released ALMOST SEVEN YEARS AGO and is completely irrelevant now -- it's not a song/remix that screams "timeless" or anything. In other words, there are at least ten reasons to avoid seeing Bolt -- and that's going by the trailer alone. The obvious assumption is that there will be at least five times more in the actual movie. Disney has certainly caught a bad case of "Let's make this movie for no reason but money," what with Beverly Hills Chihuahua and now this. And the sad thing is, it seems to be working out well for them. Reviews By People Who've Actually Seen It:
