Brave was a disappointment.

• she's not a fighter, she's just a tomboy
• she creates the conflict within the story and fails to resolve it (her mother saves her)
• the interactions between Merida and her mother were well-done, but were the highlight of the film. Yeah, let's go to the movies and see those exciting mom chats.

There were so many things they could have done differently. They could've pulled the trigger on making her chubby. They could've pulled the trigger on making her a lesbian. They could've pulled the trigger on making her a female action hero. (There is Mulan, but let's be honest. That was Eddie Murphy's movie.)

Instead, they gave us a character who looked like a muppet and whined a lot. But, hey, she fired an arrow and turned down a suitor. That makes her film more worthy of an Oscar than Wreck-It Ralph.
