So What’s The Story?
Christopher Robin, now a grown man with a family, and job, and no reason to have fun. Soon he realizes how broken his life really is, and so the fates reunite him with his old pal Winnie the Pooh, and soon enough he is on an adventure with Winnie to find Pooh’s friends, and for Christopher Robin to find himself again, and to realize that it’s always okay to have fun even as an adult.
Is It Worth Your While?
Christopher Robin is another one of those fairly good heartwarming movies, but it can’t quite compare with the original’s, now here are my reasons. First of all I thought that director Mark Forster directed it in a way that was entertaining for all ages as well as providing heartwarming messages for the family. The only flaw that the movie could possibly have is that it was predictable, but the story is crafted so well that it’s hard to realize that. Next (as said earlier) I thought that the story was so predictable, but fun (for me) that it’s easy to come up with a simple one sentence summary of the entire movie. Also I thought that the cinematography was amazing, and was blended really well with the beautiful scenes. Overall I thought that Christopher Robin can not fully live up to the original films, but it still manages to provide good directing, heartwarming messages, and stunning cinematography.
How Was the Cast
Overall I thought that the cast in Christopher Robin did a very good job. First we have Ewan Mcgregor as Christopher Robin. I thought that he did a good job playing a character with a broken life needing to fix it because he provided the right amount of energy, and his all into playing this amazing character. Next we have Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh. I thought that Jim did the voice very well, in a way that perfectly matched the original, and with the combination of a hilarious script, and tons of experience such as Winnie the Pooh (2011 88% Sweet) it’s safe to say that he was perfect for the job. Third we have Hayley Atwell as Evelyn Robin. It was interesting to see her not play in a Marvel film, but in a calm family film, but she was not that good. Her energy felt robotic, and the chemistry between her, and Ewan needed more emotional power. Don’t get me wrong she is a good actress, but she may have been the wrong choice for a movie like this. Fourth, and finally we have Bronte Carmichael as Madeline Robin. She has played in a few films (small parts) such as The Darkest Hour, (2017) and On Chesil Beach. (2017) I thought that in this she was emotionally powerful, and had many great moments during the movie such as the pain of not having a proper childhood with her father.
Aging ‘Pooh Bear’
I gave this movie 7+ because of a few dark themes, and brief war violence. Other than that the movie is filled with nothing, but joy, and heartwarming messages for the whole family to talk about. Finally Christopher Robin learns to be a good person, and father to his child. So overall I would say that Christopher Robin is for kids, and up who are seeking some Winnie the Pooh fun for everyone to enjoy.
