Fun Movie But Could Have Been Better
12 August 2018
If you love Winnie the Pooh or grew up watching it, chances are you will like this film. It brings back the characters that you love from the hundred acre woods as well as Christopher Robin. The voice acting is amazing with veteran Jim Cummings on board voicing Pooh and Tigger. Ewan McGregor does a good job as Christopher Robin and carries the story along well enough. Seeing Pooh and the gang onscreen is magical and really sent me back to my childhood. However, this movie's biggest flaw is the pacing. The story takes a while to get started because it shows that Christopher's life is miserable and depressing since he's always focused on work. By the time it picks up, it's too little too late. The movie could have also used a little bit more humor to go against the dark and gloomy setting. Overall, this is a good movie with great Winnie the Pooh moments and a good performance from McGregor.
