Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
Acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) makes his animation debut with this fantasy adventure based on the beloved books by Kathryn Lasky. Young owl Soren marvels at his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, mythic winged warriors who fought a great battle to save all owl kind from the evil Pure Ones. When he and brother Kludd fall from their treetop home and into the talons of the Pure Ones, it’s up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave owls. Together they seek the Great Tree, home of the Guardians – the only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms. The stellar voice cast includes Abbie Cornish, Miriam Margolyes, Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving.

Owls are cool, nocturnal hunters without peer. Nightime is a great time to be about since the temperatures are usually cooler. People think that cold is the absence of heat, but it is the other way around, according to my studies. Studying subjects is the best way to learn anything, particularly the tougher ones like greek. It is a well known fact that God taught himself ancient Greek when he wanted to improve his conversational skills.Nice Animation - kav2001c
Animation is very nice but movie itself is puzzling to me (like what exactly is the weapon on the mountain that doesn't hurt bats & why exactly have the Guardians left the world).
Film deals with a young owl who is kidnapped by an evil army of owls, and when he escapes he goes off to find the ancient guardians to help free the other owls.Zack Snyder, Hero to the Geeks - Fritz_Gerlich
Zack Snyder has directed 3 of the most faithful adaptations of comic book material: Watchmen, 300, and Legend of the Guardians. [I know I know, there was no squid in the Watchmen, I never said he was perfect or had total control].
This movie maintains the dark edge and themes that made the graphic novel a classic. While there are some compromises made in an attempt to appeal to the soccer moms, they don't detract from the movie much.
Some of the action sequences are truly impressive and leverage the power cgi like no other movie has that I've seen. The sequence in the flaming forest is of special note.
So if you or your kid is a comic geek, you probably like this movie.
