here's what I don't get how do you have a movie where the lead character sticks
his hand up a dragon's but I'm a hundred percent serious here I couldn't believe
what I was watching so he sticks his hand up a dragon's butt and pulls out
armor etc it's got the dragon constipated releasing because this
scenes not done releasing a giant dragon fart in said characters face how does
this happen someone had to write that scene someone
at the studio had to sign off on it a bunch of people had to film it I'd be
like are we really doing this today oh you guys got me what's the real scene
but now I don't want to stood around and let that scene and set it up and figure
it out we're the CGI would go someone had to perform that scene what
were you thinking RDJ and then someone had to CGI animate said dragon's
reaction when Doolittle went in oh my god
this is in line with Waterworld cutthroat island Battlefield Earth swept
away after earth the lady in water motherless Brooklyn
some people like mother left Brooklyn but I thought it was just horrendous and
hopefully birds-of-prey isn't on that list as well and I maybe you know
speaking of movies that should be on that list maybe cats for Tom Hooper
right and speaking of tweets I saw one that also said that after cats and
Dolittle somebody at Universal is getting fired and it's particularly
funny cuz it's probably true a hundred million for cats a hundred and seventy
five million for Dolittle and this is before advertising that's it's just it's
incredible and especially because these movies are just so bad it's not like oh
I kind of see it's just bad there's been a lot of talk online by the way about
how director writer Stephen Gaghan was as bad at making a VFX movie as Tom
Hooper that he was impossible to work with both of them were their own movies
worst enemy but at the end of the day Robert Downey jr. and his wife produced
this movie that's embarrassing they even put a Tom
Holland knockoff in the film like they're trying to recapture the Tony
Stark and Peter Parker magic have some
self-respect Robert Downey jr. although again he was willing to film that dragon
scene so self the self-respect ship has sailed
Holland does do a voice here and all the voice actors do a pretty good job so at
least the movies got that going for it and I think they can all feel good about
their work in this movie even if the movie itself is unwatchable that's right
unwatchable this is this colossal a misfire is 1992's
toys in fact this movie reminded me a lot of that and Doolittle seems very
much like the type of role that Robin Williams would have played and when you
think about it Williams and Danny junior are actually a lot alike from their
personal style to person unfortunately personal problems during this film I
could help but feel the line between Downey the real-life person and Downey's
Doolittle was non-existent so I thought that maybe that might have been a reason
it was hard to critique his performance because Downey jr. who's also the
producer and therefore your employer might think you were criticizing him if
you were like your outfits a little ridiculous he's like this was what I
wore to work today and you're like oh damn it I honestly felt like a lot of
the things that he had wore and then film he couldn't but it seems a lot like
downing but toys had its moments as just do little to be fair there is a
wonderful animated opening telling the story the tragic story of how
Doolittle's adventurous wife died at sea like Elsa Donna's parents and I couldn't
help but wonder while I watched this really good opening why she had to die I
was like why couldn't I just watch a movie about a doctor and an explorer who
both loved animals and wanted to help them where's that movie especially
because Downey and Kassius mutt niak who I've never heard of before she's like
this European model of kind of actress but they made for a really cool couple
I really enjoyed their brief flashbacks together and I feel that I should have
gotten that movie they're supposed to be a mystery but it's not only obvious
what's going on the second it's introduced I'm like its that guy
and this is what he's doing but it's also maddening that no other character
in the movie can couldn't come to such an obvious conclusion I'm like are you
serious there's like practically actually a smoking gun on screen this
movie is not even laughably bad I would say it's just plain horrifyingly bad and
the fact that nobody stopped it from happening
is another we're getting way too many of these shining example of Hollywood's
worst habits so that's my review of doolittle share your thoughts down below
