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-...

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

"Peter Rabbit" was a fun and good movie, where we thought it would be another disaster of the real-life family movies combined with CGI, where Paddington is a huge exception, and now it's Peter Rabbit, nobody knew this nice rabbit until"Peter Rabbit" was a fun and good movie, where we thought it would be another disaster of the real-life family movies combined with CGI, where Paddington is a huge exception, and now it's Peter Rabbit, nobody knew this nice rabbit until today, the animations were good, the interpretations were fun, the story is also fun although was slow and with a rhythm regular, but it has been worth the effort to have a very good adaptation.

I'd never heard about Peter Rabbit and and I’ve gotta say I didn't think it was bad but the film never felt genuine or actually funny.

My shortest review yet. Meh. I thought it would be horrible, it was alright, but meh. Nothing bold or interesting. Just.. average. Watch it.. to kill time? Watch some GKIDS movie instead.

This isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it’s not good. The jokes are very weak for the most part, and the only thing that saves it is a decent story.

I wasn't expecting to see anything funny or boring movies like this. I think they could do better to make this movie

Its of course a family friendly film, with cute rabbits - not quite the dark Watership Down film of the 1970s but that's to be expected. I'd heard there are some jokes aimed perhaps more at adults - I picked up on themes of the negativity of greed but not too much otherwise. Its a bit of a laugh but to me it seemed pretty forgettable fare. The performances were a bit hammy too but I wouldn't say its a really bad film. Its distinctly ok, in my book. I wouldn't go out of your way to see it but there are worse films around and I know about the whole controversy over the mention of an eating intolerance/allergy and I can understand why making light of it may seem very insensitive - I'm not sure, dialogue wise, it was perhaps thought about enough, the impact of that but I doubt (hopefully) that particularly young kids would necessarily pick up on it. I could be wrong though. That aside, its a cheesy but fun film with some fairly decent effects, of course including CGI, although I wouldn't go out of your way to see it. Oh and for anyone watching, we're into December and I had heard good things about this film, so I felt I suppose I better start to watch a family film or two in this festive season, som there you go! we'll see how many I get through.
