Chupa

Relax with the hate. 5.6 is too little for this movie. It is a family movie, nothing more, and it is a funny and motivational one.

The CGI Chupacabras is nice, I dare to say since Falkor from "The NeverEnding Story" (1984) and Gizmo from "Gremlins" (1984) a furry creature wasn't so sympathetic and warmth. It would be a nice pet, expensive to feed but nice.

Hope all people out there watch the movie with their kids, remember their roots and their late fathers. Don't be grumpy, smile for a change and understand that Chupa is not a Academy Award or Festival movie, because is not pretentious like "Shazam: Fury of Gods", Chupa is simple and that's why it is enjoyable, though.

It is almost impossible not to like the teeth-full creature named Chupa. Irresistible cuteness, talks and acts like the most sought-after children's toy. Incredibly creative CGIs bring up the emotions of the cuddly creature at the forefront and establish a believable real bond between the children and the creature.

The director Jonas Quaron also co-written "Gravity" another CGI masterpiece, with his father Alfonso Quaron. And there's no doubt that the same creative genius played the role in developing the character of Chupa.

Alex (Evan Whitten) was sent by his mother to visit his paternal grandfather (Demian Bichir). Alex feels alone ever since the loss of his father and immediately connects to the creature who is also young and lost his parents.

It is a great children's story. It's also great for adults who like children's stories.

Very apt message and very well communicated by the director and screenplay. VFX could be better.the film connect with the audience very smoothly and story carry forward in a smooth fashion. Acting of every character and specially child artists are very good and flows with the story.build up of story and ending could be more elaborative but this can not be the fact which can negate it positive points.one should watch it with family and kids to generate a sense of culture, imp of joint family, conservation of endangered animals, compassion towards animals and importance of always attached to our roots.

Chupa is an entertaining and enjoyable children's movie that definitely captivated me with its imaginative story and lovable characters.

The movie follows the adventures of Alex (Evan Whitten), a young boy who discovers a mysterious creature known as the chupacabra, AKA Chupa, when visiting his family in Mexico. Alex quickly befriends Chupa and, with the help of his new friend, Alex embarks on a wild and exciting journey to protect Chupa from those who would harm him.

Chupa is a must-see film for children and families looking for an entertaining and meaningful story. The film boasts stunning visuals, with vibrant colors and creative creature design that I love and believe that they are perfectly suited for young viewers. The cast is fantastic, with Evan Whitten delivering a standout performance as both a shy and adventurous Alex, and Christian Slater and Demián Bichir lending their talents to the supporting cast. What really sets Chupa apart from others is its heartwarming message about the importance of accepting and protecting those who are different. With its captivating visuals, talented cast, and important message, Chupa is sure to become a new favorite among young viewers.

The movie teaches children valuable lessons about empathy and kindness, while still making its mark as a fun and exciting adventure. Note that this film does contain violent themes and some inappropriate language.

I give Chupa 4 out 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. Chupa release on Netflix on April 7, 2023. Don't miss it! By Ashleigh C., KIDS FIRST!

What a nice film Chupa was. The design of the creature himself was nice and I liked how it was done. This movie is about a boy named alex, played by evan whitten. He is sent by his mother to mexico to be with grandfather and cousins. Demian bichir was good here and I enjoyed him in the nun as well. So it was nice seeing him in more of a family film and had so charm to him to. Christian slater is the hunter quinn but we dont really see a lot. More to the story it was nice watching the journey and it was just cute. Overall chupa was a nice family movie with a good cast but also it had real heart and shows how a simple movie can sometimes be more enjoyable than a loud hollywood one.
