Early Man (2018)

I really have a soft spot for claymation movies in the mold of Wallace and Grommet, and this one did not disappoint as an animated feature, but characters that only claymation can create.
It is not, however, an incredibly plot driven movie.  It starts off very stronge, but then becomes slapstick to a bit of a fault (but then, so did Shaun the Sheep, so it is true to that model.
The stop-animated film is about Stone Age people battling Bronze Age people as a pretext for roughly ninety minutes of alternately zany play action segments and the classic little guy against the better armed, better funded enemy (and in this case, the Bronze age clearly out gunned the Stone Age on every level). These are interspersed with conversations between a character who comes off as slow witted and a character who appears slightly more clever, but only because he's more technologically savvy than the person he's talking to. There are really only two kinds of characters in the movie:  innocent fools and smug bastards who will eventually get their comeuppance.
