Delgo (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

It's hard to understand why this movie didn't do well. It appeared and disappeared from theaters in one weekend - truly startling. I saw exactly one TV commercial for it when it came out, thought to myself "that looks interesting" and by the time I got to the theater, it was gone. I'm sure there's an untold story behind the sudden disappearance. Either something nefarious happened behind the scenes or there was some kind of terrible marketing blunder, or perhaps both.The animation is good (if unspectacular by the ever-increasing standards of CGI). Certainly it's miles ahead of dreck like "Open Season" or any of the other rushed-to-production CGI feature from the mid-2000s. The story is middle-of-the-road, likeable if not surprising. You can see every "plot twist" coming from a mile away, but if you want mystery and suspense, you're probably not looking for a movie like this anyway.Bottom line - a good movie for kids, and adults who like CGI.

Wasn't sure about this feature. I brought it and two others as they were all part of three DVDs for a good price. I really didn't know what to expect. Turns out not to be a bad film. Just enough of a story to suck me in and full of nice action. Since I started off not knowing about this film, I had to see if it "grabbed" me as this is how I usually start to judge a film. If it doesn't pass this test then I have trouble really getting into it. (This isn't always the case, but for unknown items it, a lot of the times, is.) This film got me fairly early on and I found myself enjoying the characters and their situations. And it has a really nice ending too! I gladly made room for it in my collection!

An excellent voice cast from the A-list of Hollywood actors helps this animated movie enormously. How can you go wrong with Anne Bancroft, Val Kilmer, Louis Gossett, Jr., Freddie Prinze, Jr., Malcolm McDowell, and Jennifer Love Hewitt? Additionally, the computer-generated landscape is very colorful and imaginative.. not as great as in "Dragon Hunters", but definitely somewhere in that direction. The evil characters are mostly stupid and ugly, naturally, except for their leader, Sedessa (Anne Bancroft), like the wicked Queen in Snow White.So, with all that going for it, WHY the 3 stars? The plot is a fairly predictable one... Boy and girl from different races and cultures fall in love, evil forces want to enslave peace-loving people, and so forth. One character, the hero's "comic sidekick", is annoying to the point that you wish someone would kill him! Nevertheless, this DVD should hold the interest of young family members (and possibly generate requests for repeat viewings).

"Delgo" features a wonderful, visually enticing world. There's a Star Wars/Dark Crystal vibe to the strange ecosystems and cultures that come alive in nearly every frame. I loved the computer animation, the details, and the textures. Unfortunately, the script could've used a little more fine tuning. It was almost there, and had some great elements, but had just a few loose nuts and bolts rattling through that kept it from purring along like it ought to have. One character in particular, Delgo's best friend Filo, really poisoned it for me: his overacting, Jerry Lewis-style antics, and general incompetence really didn't seem to fit the rest of the tale. It's still worth watching if you appreciate original, creative worlds and wonderful computer animation, but it's a little sad to think that it could've been better.

Kind of the standard two races at war until a third enters the mix type of story. Not particularly original there. The animation and music are good. There isn't a whole lot of development for the characters, but each is memorable in their own way. It would have been fun if they had done more with the Lokni using the red rocks. That was fun to watch.

As other reviewers have said, Delgo is a nice fantasy - princess/hero/villain - you write the rest. What makes this worth buying is the art work, the color and the precision of the graphics, especially the battle scenes. I watched it once for the story and immediately a second time to enjoy the art. On blu-ray with a 46" screen it was spectacular and I know I will watch it again. With the vocal talents of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Anne Bancroft, Val Kilmer, etc., you are drawn immediately to all the characters (except Filo whose humor has little that is original) and you hate all the villains. This is not going to be the best blu you have in your collection as far as story, but it is well worth the price.

I'm fairly easy to entertain, in fact it doesn't take a whole lot, and I watch a large range in movies from genre to age group, etc. The the character animation was pretty good. But that's about it. The story was ok, the script was lousy, and the comic relief was incredibly annoying and lacked any wit. It had potential, yet to me fell very flat. Striking two rocks together would prove more entertaining than this. I would give it two stars but I'm being generous because someone somewhere might be more easily entertained than myself, like a 6 year old who has never been exposed to the wit and intelligence of Disney.

Correct me if I'm wrong but...as far as the animation is concerned....wouldn't you say that this movie just depict the look of....Worlds of Warcraft? I mean come on. Storyline wasn't really original but the actors played some pretty good roles. I think they could've gotten someone better to replace Kattan though. Overall, the movie was quite interesting. I just know I will never be playing WOW ...EVER.

Einst wurden die Lockni (Erdenvolk) von den Nohrin (Himmelsvolk, da Flügel) erbarmungslos gejagt und getötet, so auch Delgos Vater..."Lockni" Delgo trifft auf Kyla, die zum gegnerischen Volk der "Nohrin" gehört.Diese Freundschaft lässt Konflikte entstehen und führt zu kriegerischen Handlungen und Machtansprüchen. Um Schlimmeres zu verhindern, verbünden sie sich und versuchen, dies zu beenden. Aber anders als bei Romeo & Julia, bringen sich die beiden am Ende nicht um, sondern vereinen die beiden Völker und sind fortan die Oberhäupter, da Kylas Vater getötet wird.Wieder ein super Animationsfilm - ich gucke alle, egal ob PIXAR oder Universal oder Disney.

Die für mich ersichtliche Botschaft in dem Film ist eine sehr positive: man darf keine Vorurteile haben... also für Kinder geeignet, aber es ist nicht so spannend und aufregend, die Handlung sehr vorhersehbar...

Schön gestaltete z.T. schon recht fantasievolle Bilder. Trotzdem ist es meiner ansicht nach nur ein mittelmäßig spannender Animationsfilm. Die Aktion ist relativ vorhersehbar, die Kalauer nicht wirklich witzig und tiefes Mitgefühl wollte sich bei mir nicht einstellen. Wenn extreme Langeweile besteht ist das Ansehen des Films ein netter Zeitvertreib, wird dem Preis aber nicht gerecht.

Es ist ein recht unterhaltsamer, wenn auch mitunter etwas stereotyper Animationsfilm, der Kinder im Alter ab 8/9 Jahre gut zu unterhalten vermag.
