why does this movie have such a low rating!! I mean it must atleast 8 and thereabouts..the animation is brilliant.The storylineis brilliant and refreshing..for gods sake,even those pathetic harry potter movies have a better rating.Sometimes i don't know,the ratings for some movies in imdb never really represent the quality..what say?
shareare you serious????
the movie was a total crap!!!
the same old stupid story abouth "superation" and *beep* like that... it was so lame!!!...
"he lost the competition but he wins a lots of friends... oh! so sweet!"
CRAP!
I gave it an eight
I deserves a 7.5, so just to push it up
I gave it a 10. Not because it deserves it, but so it can push the score up to what it actually deserves.

christ, were you having a bad day when you wrote that?
shareThis is one of the better animated movies (even though I agree with those who say the ending felt a bit rushed). I love tha fact that it's more for adults than kids. The animation is great, the documentary style makes it refreshingly different, and most of all, I think the voice-over acting is amazing. Somehow, every single voice in this movie is just perfectly suited. I saw it a few days ago and am already watching it again :)

good, enjoyable movie, my only downer was that i wanted it to be longer, seemed short... 7/10
not as good as a Pixar movie
I'm sorry but I think 7.1 is too high. I found this film terrible, I couldn't even stand to watch it all I turned it off I thought it was so bad. I'm sorry but I love these types of films and I found this one highly, highly disappointing.
But that's just my thoughts hey if you like it, you like it. There are loads of films on here that I also think should be alot higher rated but think it is just an average don't take it too much to heart.
lol the rating is now 6.9 3 years later.
Still a good rating that has held up. In my opinion the movie deserves a 7ish score.
Rarely will you regret watching a movie with a 7ish score on imdb. Most 7 star movies are movies that anyone who enjoys the genre its in, or the type of movie it is, may feel its a 10 star movie. Usually 7 star movies will have a few flaws, or might not appeal to everyone so they cant get an 8 or make it to the top 250.
In my opinion any movie that makes it to the top 250 is a movie anyone could like. No one can argue that movies in the top 250 are quality movies, even if they didnt like them. Its funny the reasons people have for hating movies that are in the top 250. "too boring" "the cgi/puppets were obvious" "it wasnt funny" are good ones
lol man this post is long im ending it abrubtly NOW
I came over here to rate this after watching it with my kids for the second time in 5+ years. In the past 5 years, I've watched pretty much all the mainstream kid's movie that have come out, and coming back to this film was like tasting a prime rib after hundreds and hundreds of Big Mac dinners. When you watch it a second time and pay a little more attention to what Chicken Joe actually says, even the ending is great. Something every parent with a child being raised in the current "have an uber-sports-star-by-age-12" climate can appreciate.
This film belongs up there among the best animated films in my opinion. Some films are just "fun", with a smattering of moral and social and emotional undercurrents tossed in, e.g., Megamind or Toy Story 2. AMore of the former and less of the latter, the better the audience ratings here (cf. Toy Story 3 vs. Toy Story 2 - who could possibly rate 3 higher but all the folks who just loved watching Barbie and Ken - so funny, right!). But then there are films that put the social or moral issue right out there up front, and in my opinion that is a much tougher movie to pull off. A movie like that done badly, like Ferngully -- an iconic hand drawn classic in its own right -- is actually painful to watch in terms of story. Among the hits that have succeed with this formula are films like Wall-E, Up, and Cars (1 not 2). But the respective underlying social issues - over consumption and pollution, end-of-life isolation, and the disappearance of small town American towns - are not issues that children in the audience largely have no first had knowledge of. On the other hand, being pressured to win.... being disappointed at failure... impatience... these are the bread and butter of the 201x-ers. Because of that, I give Surf's Up a 10! At 6.8, this film is currently rated in a dead heat with the completely not memorable Meet the Robinsons of the same year and lower than Disney's 2009 bomb of a film, Princess and the Frog... ?? Puh-leez!
I agree, one of the best animations I've seen and it's down to 6.8 now. Perhaps it's a bit too sharp for dull minds?
shareI enjoyed the film and I gave it 7/10, but I don't consider 7 low, it's a pretty decent score.
To light a candle is to cast a shadow...
You seem butthurt.
If you've heard of it, it's already too mainstream for me.
