9 Reasons I was Excited for 9.

1. It had a trailer like this*

*I am not a fan of Coheed and Cambria (couldn't they have picked a less annoying song?).

2. It had amazing actors lending their voices to the characters (Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Connelly).

3. It had enemies like this



4. It had great animation.

5. It had a great plot.

6. It was not an overly done movie (meaning they didn't drag the plot or characterization to the point where you are pulling your hair out in frustration).

7. It is based off of a short film that is also terrific.

8. It was released on 9/9/09.

9. The guy who created the short film got to direct the movie, keeping it close to his original vision.

Overall, the movie was pretty good. It is definitely NOT my favorite film, but it didn't disappoint... which is good when movie ticket prices are $9.75 (wtf!).
