It’s certainly a new spin, but those who make the leap will do so vigorously. Read full review

Yes, the two-minute trailers were an atrocious affront. But it turns out the other 91 minutes include thoughtful characters and some clever humor in between the pratfalls. Read full review

The animation technology is top-notch, but the gentle spirit of Beatrix Potter's books is subsumed into a chaotic, violent mayhem, manically soundtracked to the day's hits. Read full review

Peter Rabbit isn’t without its odd delights, and while it won’t serve as the definitive version of Potter’s adoring, timeless creation, Gluck’s film may find a way to burrow into your heart. Read full review

If you’re expecting "Paddington"-level profundity and whimsical adventure you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Read full review

Jane Horwitz

Feb 8, 2018

The rift that opens between Bea and the two combatants feels somehow terribly contrived. From there until the requisite happy ending, the story loses some of its emotional weight, if not its humor. Read full review

Justin Chang

Feb 8, 2018

The movie...resembles a sloppily tended garden plot where crude sight gags and violent set-pieces flourish like weeds, but anything resembling actual humor or delight refuses to take root. Read full review

I really enjoyed this. I went in expecting a rather poor childrens movie. And got a really good childrens movie that adults can enjoy as well.

I agree that Paddington 2 is the better movie, But this is a good second thats not too far behind. They also clearly put a lot of time and effort into script details, and some of the Human/CGI coreographed scenes.

Its very cute, with a lot of content that even parents will find enjoyable.… Expand

Yes the second half of the movie is full of clichés and most of its jokes are silly and repeated, but the movie is a sweet adventure that has surprisingly smart slapstick humor, gorgeous 3D animation and good voice acting specially from James Corden who voiced the titular character.

But luckily, the movie supplies big bursts of clever and genuinely hilarious writing all the way through the run time; and the jokes surprisingly fit into a diverse array of humorous elements that when blended together, doesn't get stale at all. (You simply cannot predict what the movie is gonna do next) One minute, the humor is simple, decently done slapstick; the next it’s a grand shattering of the fourth wall itself. (There’s actually a moment in the movie where the characters are discussing their own character flaws) It’s like nothing I’ve ever before seen in a family film. It’s like the movie knows that it’s prime demographic is the general family audience; so instead of simply trying to keep your five year old’s mind busy, it puts its best foot forward to try and downright disrupt the status quo.… Expand

Well, I thought it was... another boring and clichéd kids film.... Before I get to the bad, let’s start off with the things I did like about it
PROS:
The acting is pretty good, especially with James Corden as Peter himself,
even if I’m not much of a big fan of him...
The animation on the animals are pretty decent to look at, even when they move in a bit of a cartoonish way.
There are a few scenes that did make me chuckle.
Okay, so with the positives out of the way, let’s get to the cons...
CONS:
This kind of story/plot has been used plenty (or even several) times in other kids films.
We’ve seen these old cookie cutter characters before...
And last, but not least! The overall humor of the film... I mean, seriously, it’s just Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs all over again, but at least this one did it slightly better.
FINAL SCORE/GRADE:
Overall, this film is just, again, another mediocre kids' film that has nothing interesting or unique about it, my best recommendation is to just stick with the original book by Beatrix Potter herself, or just show to your kids if you have nothing else to do to entertain them.... if you have any. (probably not)
Since it’s just another uninteresting and bland kids' film....
I’m gonna give Peter Rabbit a C-...… Expand

This film had gags that (mostly) were not funny. The story was lacking and the messages the movie conveyed were uninspiring. Peter Rabbit was just a bad movie. Period.
