Talk:Dumbo (2019 film)/@comment-13636762-20190331212817

So I saw this today....

Unlike "Captain Marvel" that came out earlier this month (that I thought was amazing and has me even more hyped for Endgame) this movie had me hyped to leave the theater.

Why on earth Burton was chosen to adapt what is basically a children's story in the first place and turned it into some dark emo thing is beyond me.

I mean so much felt forced. The over the top elephant hater, the missing mom thing,  Colt being distant from his kids, weird villain with even stranger motives etc.

This movie felt like it was on par with M. Night''s "Glass" as both M. Night and Burton have past their prime imo.

I will say the cast is fine (though it's weird Micheal Keaton and Danny DeVito are in this, but not Michelle Pfeiffer. Missed out on having a Batman Returns reuinion. LOL), but the rest was a major letdown.

At least we have "Endgame" coming out soon to look forward too next.

And that's all I will say about this movie. Though if you liked it, that's great! I'm sure this movie has its fans.
