What's the problem? I disagree with them, but it's their opinion. They aren't trying to impose anything by saying "(...)to me". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 They really should have dropped the embargo after the premiere. Even the top critic rating is holding Fresh at 62% 66% Average Rating: 6.2/10 Reviews Counted: 87 Fresh: 57 Rotten: 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Wow, definitely didn't see that RT score coming at all. This looked like about as surefire of a critical darling as the Paddington movies from the marketing. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It's not kid-friendly which is where the legs for this sort of thing would probably come from. Just gonna be a weird niche movie from the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 https://www.thedailybeast.com/christopher-robin-revives-winnie-the-pooh-as-an-emotional-terrorist Quote ‘Christopher Robin’ Revives Winnie the Pooh as an Emotional Terrorist Disney reunites the gang from the Hundred Acre Wood in a new story seemingly hell-bent on making grown men cry, but made with enough care and love to earn those tears.

Apparenlty Christopher Robin was simply not as well done as the Paddinton movies were. You can use exactly the same ingrediants for two different movies,;one will be good and one will be bad.It spends on how the ingrediants are used. A lot of people in this forum don't get how important execution is in any movie. Edited August 3, 2018 by dudalb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 God, I hope there a not a lot of people here who think that just because a move has certain ingrediants it has GOT to be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of critisim that Robin's family..the mother and daughter..are not very well written. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divinity83 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That audience score has convinced me to see it. I have A-List so I am determined to get the most out of it (hence seeing Fallout 4 times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie The Pooh sold 5.5 BILLION in merchandise in 2012 - it's dropped some but still does billions a year in sales - it's not just adults buying stuff for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this movie is targeting adults more than kids, at least from marketing it seems. and it was made because one producer had an idea & really wanted this to happen so it wasn't a cash grab like Beauty and the Beast remake. I think when another person who is passionate about Pooh & co comes to Disney with a great idea how to modernise him it'll happen (probably better be animated). it's interesting that they do those 4 minute cartoons with Mickey still & put them on youtube, I don't know who is watching them more(adults or kids) but they get several million views.
