I saw it just because I had one more movie to use for the week and the timing just worked out. I was hoping they'd have one of the Oscar contenders back but no luck there.

So I saw it in Dolby and even Dolby couldn't save this. It looked pretty but man was it bad. I can't believe they got so many big stars to do voices on such a dreadful movie.

Robert Downey's performance was one for the ages. Legendarily bad. The accent he did was awful and I couldn't understand what he was saying at all when he got serious and talked fast. Then all the jokes the animals were constantly doing were so bad, nothing funny at all.

And if you want to know the climax, spoilers ahead... It ends with him sticking a leek up a dragon's ass and pulling out all sorts of items including bagpipes.

Darn, it missed the cutoff to be one of the worst movies of the decade.

Depends on how you look at it. We're starting a brand new list now.

I didn't like it either, but I hesitate to call it bad simply because it seems to be clearly catered to kids.

Right, maybe there is a certain age of children like 6-9 that would like this.

It's a 0 star movie for me though.

Lol I know, I couldn't help but think throughout the movie that it was definitely NOT made for us. During that same scene where Dolittle was pulling the items out, and the dragon farted? I think I checked out around then.

Something else I want to add. I had a very personal connection with how this movie started. You may recall how my dog snatched a baby squirrel and mangled it when I was walking her, and I picked it up and was trying to save its life.

The movie starts with this kid out hunting with his dad who is trying to get him to learn how to shoot animals but of course he doesn't want to. He purposely misses the ducks, but ends up hitting this squirrel.

So he's devastated, and he picks it up and this magical bird leads him to Dolittle's estate. Whatever.

The dying squirrel looked just like it did in real life. The same breathing patterns and everything. So I identified with that.

Fast forward to after Dolittle saves the squirrel and holy shit, he becomes the most annoying character. Every time he speaks it's grating. I don't know what they were thinking with this crap. They made the animal I wanted to live from personal experience a character of burning rage.

I went in after reading all the bad shit about it so it didn't seem too bad to me.

Wouldn't ever watch it again though

Disney thanks you for proving why them holding dolby hostage is a successful strategy they can force on theater's so they couldn't show 1917 for a second week.

Should have at least seen bad boys, it also probably sucks but it at least looks entertaining bad instead of just bad.

But Gotti doesn't exist this decade, so now it actually has a chance

If there was a contest for the worst way to end a dragon fight, they just won it.
