'Bolt' web reviews

"Twilight" is certainly this weekend's box office winner, but for all those fed up with all the fuss around the vampire romance, Walt Disney has a great alternative. The film's title is "Bolt," and it follows a super-dog who believes he has unique powers until he realizes he's just the star of a TV show. Here's what the Web's critics have to say about it:

• Josh Tyler at Cinema Blend: "It takes each moment, each gag, and builds on it to push story and characters further."

• Jette Kernion at Cinematical: "It's better than many other recent non-Pixar animated films from Disney, and it'll give families something to see in a theater together over the Thanksgiving holiday."

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "However, the lack of screenwriting imagination is offset by the inherent charm of the picture, resulting in a pleasing arrangement of CG-animated action set-pieces and slapstick comedy to push 'Bolt' beyond the repetitive family film norm."

Joblo's Chris Bumbray: "I think the main reason that 'BOLT' works so well is due to the rather clever script by Dan Fogelman & Chris Williams."

• George Roush at LatinoReview: "Despite my hatred for the 3-D look of the movie, and some slow scenes in the second act, this is a great picture."
