Yeah...that.

Yesterday, I was trying to be nice, because I don't want to have a reputation as "the negative guy", and a lot of people liked this movie...but I didn't.

It was way too dark for me.

I mean, this movie is basically "Hook with Winnie the Pooh". But "Hook" had a sense of charm, of whimsy, Neverland was bright and colorful, and Peter Pan, even as "Peter Banning", was funny and snarky.

In this movie, everything is dull and grey, there's a lingering sense of melanncholy over everything. The funny moments the movie doies have (Tigger singing "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", Winnie asking Christopher if Christopher ate honey when Christopher gets stuck in the portal between Earth and the Hundred Acre Wood, Tigger being weirded out at his reflection) completely clash with the overall tone of the film.

And Christopher has no real reason to come back to the Hundred Acre Wood. In "Hook", Peter had a reason to come back to Neverland: Captain Hook stole Peter's children.

Overall, I think "Hook" is a much better movie.
