Well, I thought it was... another boring and clichéd kids film.... Before I get to the bad, let’s start off with the things I did like about it
PROS:
The acting is pretty good, especially with James Corden as Peter himself,
even if I’m not much of a big fan of him...
The animation on the animals are pretty decent to look at, even when they move in a bit of a cartoonish way.
There are a few scenes that did make me chuckle.
Okay, so with the positives out of the way, let’s get to the cons...
CONS:
This kind of story/plot has been used plenty (or even several) times in other kids films.
We’ve seen these old cookie cutter characters before...
And last, but not least! The overall humor of the film... I mean, seriously, it’s just Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs all over again, but at least this one did it slightly better.
FINAL SCORE/GRADE:
Overall, this film is just, again, another mediocre kids' film that has nothing interesting or unique about it, my best recommendation is to just stick with the original book by Beatrix Potter herself, or just show to your kids if you have nothing else to do to entertain them.... if you have any. (probably not)
Since it’s just another uninteresting and bland kids' film....
I’m gonna give Peter Rabbit a C-...… Expand

I was honestly pleasantly surprised by Peter Rabbit! While there are a few problems with the plot and some tired children's film elements, I honestly really enjoyed the film and had a lot of fun watching it. Rose Byrne and Domhnall GleesonI was honestly pleasantly surprised by Peter Rabbit! While there are a few problems with the plot and some tired children's film elements, I honestly really enjoyed the film and had a lot of fun watching it. Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson are both really charming and have great chemistry. Even James Corden does quite well in the titular role. All of the voice actors playing the rabbits were spectacular. While I wanted to give this movie I 7, I feel it's honestly a 6.9. There are a few problems holding it back from that score. Some of the score choices in the soundtrack are bizarre, as are some of the sight gags, and the prologue of the film is a real chore to watch, although the hand drawn animation sequence was quite lovely. All in all, Peter Rabbit is a solid choice of a film to take your kids to see!… Expand

Surprisingly Decent
I'm Surprised, Usually Films With Live Action And Animation Based On Children's Materiel Suck, This Film, While Not Perfect Is Fun.

I really enjoyed this. I went in expecting a rather poor childrens movie. And got a really good childrens movie that adults can enjoy as well.

I agree that Paddington 2 is the better movie, But this is a good second thats not too far behind. They also clearly put a lot of time and effort into script details, and some of the Human/CGI coreographed scenes.

Its very cute, with a lot of content that even parents will find enjoyable.… Expand

This isn't as infuriating as the trailers made it out to be, however there honestly is nothing all that redemptive nor refreshing about this movie.

It's a bland kids film with elements that you have seen done a ba-jillion times before, including an overdone story line, obnoxious jokes that are not clever no matter how many times the movie is self-aware (and also repetitive as well with how often the film eschews the rules of three), and all the pop songs that are thrown in there for no real reason (although I do give them props for using Rancid's Time Bomb in there because CLEARLY a song about gang violence definitely needs to be in a kids film). And to top it off the main lead is incredibly unlikable. I will give James Cordon this, he is trying with his role. I mean it's not much, it's basically James Cordon playing James Cordon, but I will take him over Jimmy Fallon trying way to hard to be funny and laughing at his bad material and Jimmy Kimmel's personality of a cardboard box and hollow political beliefs any day of the week. But the problem is that Peter is extremely unlikable in this movie. Yes the scene where Peter (well really one of his sisters but still) poisons Mr. McGregor with his allergy, which is overblown sure, but there is a truth to that scene. Throughout the entire movie, Peter acts smug and arrogant and he faces practically no reproductions nor does he change throughout the movie. It's not endearing, it's aggravating! There are some things that are decent about this movie. Domhnall Gleeson has a decent sense of comedic timing and if he wasn't overacting constantly and given better material then I could see him going well in a comedy. Him and Rose Byrne do have good chemistry, even though Rose Byrne is too good for this movie. The design for the animal characters are pretty good and they do animate well. But the CGI integration is so bad and fake, it often didn't feel like they tried to make it match with the real world as they always look phony, especially when a human is interacting with one of the animal characters.

But honestly the biggest crime with this movie is indifference. I wasn't hate watching this like I would with the Alvin and the Chipmunks films or the Smurfs films or any number of live-action adapted children films, I was just left there with passive loathing. It's not annoying, it's just tiring at this point because there's nothing new this film offers other than a shallow adaption of a classic children's tale. I'm not going to give this film higher than the rating I am giving it, because that would imply that there is more quality than there is. There really isn't. Don't waste your time please.

Also for some reason Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend helped with the soundtrack?!… Expand

Along with his animal friends, their love of the plentiful vegetable garden leads to their rivalry with the angry gardener. This movie starts with funny musical birds and maintains a lively pace and spunky attitude throughout. The characters are amusing, there are plenty of winks for the adults and an energetic soundtrack to keep it bouncing along. This delightful adventure is lively, amusing and all-around plucky fun.… Expand

Our furry, troublemaking protagonist regularlyFares much better than Sony Pictures Animation's previous two live-action/3D animation hybrids, the critically maligned "Smurfs" movies. That's mostly due to how rambunctiously energetic it is. Our furry, troublemaking protagonist regularly gets himself mixed up in over-the-top situations. Luckily for him and us Peter Rabbit always has more than a few quips and tricks up his sleeve. Any other rabbit who ticked off humans this much would surely end up dead.

There are some surprisingly dark elements to this family movie. Peter and his fluffy family have a tragic backstory of lost parents and the film makes no attempts to hide the fact that one of them was eaten from the children watching. We even witness someone straight-up die onscreen. Almost the entire plot centers around the new neighbor trying to kill the title character and his cohorts.

The rest is as light-hearted as you would expect. Peter's conflict with Domhnall Gleeson is brimming with comic mischief and a level of cartoon slapstick violence I haven't seen since an episode of Tom and Jerry. Characters find themselves in all sorts of dangerous situations and showdowns, but are never really at any risk. The morals of the film kind of fall short for me as I never really saw Peter to be as much at fault as Gleeson's character, despite the movie telling he was. I enjoyed that the side-characters got their time to make us laugh instead of being overshadowed by the stars. Overall, I found it be a very enjoyable children's flick. One with the potential to entertain older audiences as well.
