Zack Snyder’s owl movie is a hoot (OH I WENT THERE)

Thanks to a title that was seemingly lifted from Finnegans Wake, I initially had no idea what Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole was about. But now I do. It’s about owls. Like, a metric shit-ton of owls. More precisely, it is about owls who are apparently committed to reenact Snyder’s sword-and-sandals blockbuster…
