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 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

The rabbits are realistically, but cutely animated and feature James Corden in the title role. 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.

A very nice family movie with lots of songs, great animation and good but not brilliant acting. I was having a great time because it is a cinema that does not need to be touched, does not bother and, most importantly, it does not bore me.

Very cute. The animation was fantastic. The cast performances were funny and great especially James Cordon, Rose Byrne, and Domhnall Gleeson. The voice over performances were also great. It was an enjoyable and fun movie to watch.

Anyhow this was a decent movie with really amazing visuals with and interesting plot and some great acting. The music was really great and made the movie more enjoyable overall and entertaining along the way creating immersion that was missing in the first half of the movie. It did non struggle with pacing issues, and the characters where introduced with accuracy and care. The plot ended up being overly cliche and predictable, but the message of it was nice and genuine. In short the movie overall it's a good one, with all it's faults but it is certainly was executed to it's fullest potential. This being said it's good to realize that a 7 (good) it was the best it could achieve with it's cliche plot and weird humor. But the rest of the elements and the fun of watching it is easily makes this a good movie.… Expand

The majority of the family’s enjoyment while viewing Peter Rabbit is sourced from the film’s unique, self aware and (to some degree) satirical style of comedy; and that creates about the majority of the enjoyment because when the time is atThe majority of the family’s enjoyment while viewing Peter Rabbit is sourced from the film’s unique, self aware and (to some degree) satirical style of comedy; and that creates about the majority of the enjoyment because when the time is at hand to judge the work’s story, this movie doesn't earn high marks. But luckily, the movie supplies big bursts of clever and genuinely hilarious writing all the way through the run time; and the jokes surprisingly fit into a diverse array of humorous elements that when blended together, doesn't get stale at all. (You simply cannot predict what the movie is gonna do next) One minute, the humor is simple, decently done slapstick; the next it’s a grand shattering of the fourth wall itself. (There’s actually a moment in the movie where the characters are discussing their own character flaws) It’s like nothing I’ve ever before seen in a family film. It’s like the movie knows that it’s prime demographic is the general family audience; so instead of simply trying to keep your five year old’s mind busy, it puts its best foot forward to try and downright disrupt the status quo.… Expand

Can'tThis is a BRILLIANT film, very sweet and heartfelt. Not sure why there has been so many bad reviews and a lot of self-righteous comments--but they need to check their politics at the door, and for goodness sake--just have fun, people. Can't we just enjoy it? Why does it have to be so complicated? I can think of a million other things that are much worse--than this Peter Rabbit film, which by the way, there is nothing wrong with Peter Rabbit 3.0. Go see it. You're going to love it, as much as I would've felt the original author would have too, as this is based on her tale for kids, but it is technically a sequel--as you will understand when you see it. First off, they are rabbits, and rabbits are mischievous by nature, when they are bored or there is food at stake. They are also a bit affectionately demanding and territorial as they felt with Bea. Within the context of the film, rabbits don't understand what the implications of allergic reactions could be for humans--they are, yes, rabbits. The humor is just hilarious, and it works well coming from farm animals. This is CGI/A vs. real live humans. It kept me engaged throughout. I saw this one with my daughter and we both laughed so much and so hard -- isn't this what it is all about? a positive experience? One that brings you closer with those you are with? I cried, I laughed, I cried so hard I laughed, and laughed so hard I cried -- and this is how I rate/gauge film I watch -- by how it moves me and the positivity it inspires in me; it felt good to be reminded that I was still human. I just loved, loved, loved this film. I recommend it. This one will definitely make it into my collection once it is released in media format -- and not many make it in. The soundtrack is super amazing too--I can't stress that enough. They hit it on the head with this one. A TRUE STORY OF HUMBLENESS AND REDEMPTION. Your heart will melt into a big puddle--hands down. No one is paying me to write this--I give it 10 Gold stars. I want to see Peter win next year at the Oscars. A TOTAL GEM.… Expand
