Jeff’s take

I’m going to do my best to provide an opinion on this movie despite it completely failing as far as I’m concerned for various reasons.

First of all, I don’t understand why Tigger and the rest of the gang didn’t appear in the first film to begin with.

I thought the point of this whole franchise was for the entire gang to exact their revenge on Christopher Robin, when only Pooh and Piglet appeared in the first film. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

This is another one of those movies that moves away from the central storyline halfway through, which led me to forget what it was supposed to be about.

Halfway through this movie, the plot changes to something entirely different from what this movie was supposed to be about.

Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Owl aren’t shown on screen for about half the movie. It became more about Christopher Robin confronting his childhood trauma and trying to move on with his life.

At this point, I didn’t understand what this had to do with Winnie and the rest of them. It wasn’t until Owl made an appearance that I realized the movie should be about the characters from the Hundred Acre Wood and not just Christopher Robin.

One of the reasons I chose to see this movie was my admiration for Tigger. I had realized he was absent from the first film, and I was curious to see what he would look like as a horror villain.

I Googled what Tigger and Owl would look like in this film, and it turns out that they look nothing like their characters from the actual franchise.

First of all, Tigger isn’t orange and he doesn’t look like a tiger. Piglet is only really shown at the beginning of this film. I think he is killed early on because he isn’t shown for a good chunk of the film.

I was expecting most of the characters to at least resemble the ones from the cartoon, with Tigger, for example, being a ferocious tiger and Piglet actually being a pig.

This movie failed to deliver on what was expected from my point of view, and this will result in a significant drop in this movie’s final score.

Though this movie presents a lot of faults, if I had to choose one thing I admire about this movie, it would be the English accents that almost all of the human characters have.

I’ve always been a fan of that type of accent. Particularly, I enjoyed listening to Christopher Robin’s girlfriend speak.

Actually, if I had a girlfriend, I would want her to have that same accent. However, she does not appear that much throughout the film, and when she does, she is only seen once with him on screen.

Therefore, it’s not believable that they’re a couple.

Having said that, the English accents portrayed in this film are something I will give it credit for, as they reminded me of how I would want my girlfriend to speak if I had one.

At the same time, though, I could not understand what most of them were saying, and I think this was ironically due to every one of them having the same accent.

This made it hard to follow the story, and it makes it even harder to come up with an opinion on it. Even the only good point about this film had its faults.

If I had to pick another good point about this movie, I will say that the actress playing Christopher Robin’s girlfriend gave one of the more memorable performances.

Unfortunately, the tiny bit of praise I give to this movie is nowhere near enough to save it from a failing score.

I really did not enjoy this movie, if I’m being honest. I still admire Tigger as one of my favourite cartoon characters, but I will also never admire this movie.

I definitely could have found something better to watch other than this movie.

Jeff-O-Meter final score: 0/10
