Brave (first half A, 2nd half B, overall B+)

Posted by: tealfan on Nov 19, 08:40 in response to tatoufan's post What did you see last week? The Expatriate (C-), Ted (A-)

For me, the first half had these great character moments for Merida (the sprint with Angus through the forest while shooting arrows was really nice) and they didn't hold back on the mother and daughter argument.  The twist in the middle felt tacked-on (I think that was expressed here on the board before) which is probably why the second half felt weaker for me.  A lot of laugh-out-loud moments for me, but overall I can't go higher than B+.
