This suit is sex

Description

Okay, pretty much, between watching the Nostalgia Chick's review of the Lorax and seeing how the Once-ler got RIDICULOUSLY popular on Tumblr, I found myself HAVING to go see the movie to see what the hype was about.

Firstly, I can see why the Once-ler's so damn popular. He and the grandmother are the only ones with any CHARACTER. The Lorax, Ted, Audrey, O'Hare, all of them are BORING. The Once-ler is fun and energetic (plus he's voiced by Ed Helms who was REALLY having fun with the character).

But otherwise... no. I like three things about him:
1) His voice. Like I said, Ed Helms really put himself into this and had tons of fun with him, which I appreciate. It really adds a lot of character
2) His song. It's not that it's good, it's that it's catchy as FUCK. The first two bridges are good and bouncy, but once he gets past the third chorus the song kinda deflates. The funny thing is the cut, darker version of the song, "Biggering" has the opposite problem, where it starts flat and builds up into an awesome ending. I can listen to both of them on repeat for hours though, so that just shows how I feel
3) His suit. Before I even realized he was supposed to be the Once-ler from the Lorax and I saw him in that suit... DAMN. It's a really awesome design and I love it. I actually thought it was a weird re-colour of the warden from Superjail at first. lol

But yeah, that's how I feel about how overhyped the movie is right now. It was very meh. It had a few moments that were really fun or chuckle worthy, but the characters were too bland.

The disappointing thing is it was made by the same guys who made Despicable Me, and my mom and I really enjoyed that movie. But Despicable Me had REALLY entertaining characters. Steve Carrell, Russell Brand and the youngest girl were all TONS of fun to watch and had great personalities, and that's where The Lorax falls flat. The Once-ler is the only one with a really fleshed out personality and you can only watch his spasming for so long.

Also he has a face. I like the suit, but I still liked the idea that you couldn't see his face in the books. You're supposed to put yourself in his shoes and learn his lesson along with him so that when he presents the option to correct it to the boy at the end of the story, you take it. Or at least that's how I felt when I read it as a kid, but maybe I'm weird like that.

So, in the end, very meh movie. The designs for a lot of things were awesome (especially that suit, seriously I WANT IT lol), the villain song (and the beta) is fun and catchy, but everything else falls a bit flat.

Anyways... Once-ler. Tried getting those long ass legs of his to work but they didn't. And I derped his hair. OH WELL, that's why he's so far back! lol
