    I first watched Dumbo a few years ago when I was looking after my sisters kids. I liked it. The children thought it was very sad. We have a very special relationship to Disney here in Sweden, as we always watch on Christmas Eve, a Disney show called 'From all of us to all of you' with Benjimin the Cricket (from 'Pinocchio') as host. It has segments from all the classic Disney movies like 'Snow White', 'Jungle book', Robin Hood', 'Cinderella', 'Lady and the Tramp' etc. Dumbo is however not in it. It is one of the most watched programs every year in Sweden. I still watch it, even though I am now 43. Well, it's a Christmas tradition!! My favourite segment is 'Santa's workshop'.

    It wasn't bad. It wasn't predictable and it had so many intense moments. I found it scarier than the first Strangers movie. The movie got suspenseful after the first 20 minutes. Can't recall a horror movie where I was on the edge of the seat MOST of the time. So for anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet, don't buy into all the "it is bad" hype. I think that's total BS.

  • @BoTalksGames

    I thought it was…fine, or at least, thought it wasn’t much worse than the other 2. Prey At Night is still the best if for no other reason than the pool scene. Marketing for this one was rough though, thought this trilogy would be a prequel story but it being a reboot/remake that copies the same story beats from the 2008 film wasn’t what I expected. At least I got to hear Joanna Newsom again.

    Ingmar Bergman can be hard work at times. I so much prefer Fanny and Alexander to this. Speaking of hard work - it's time for a Star Wars verdict. Original trilogy: So, with a lot of inspiration from 'Flash Gordon' and a re-programmed Dalek from 'Doctor Who' (R2-D2), Lucas has managed to create a wonderful and brilliant space toys commercial for kids. I mean, why have a furry character with no dialogue, if not for selling furry dolls to 10 yo kids? Great fun, with a peak in Episode V. Overall 7.0/10 Prequels: This starts out very weak, but ends on a high note. I can't help feeling this trilogy is completely unnecessary, except for the expansion of the merchandise. Overall 6.6/10 Sequels: This is much better, and you can tell Lucas is not as involved anymore as the dialogue writing is better. But the ending is quite disappointing and a bit messy. Overall 6.9/10 Most annoying characters: C3PO, kid Anakin, Jar Jar Best characters: None, but it was fun to see Saruman and Moon Knight again. Overall Episode Ranking: VII, VIII, V, III, IV, II, VI, IX, I 😉

Can’t wait to check out this movie soon as well 😁 Stay awesome and analytical.

    The problem is, while we all pretty much agree this movie sucks....we all still watched it. Some of use watched more than once. Success at Netflix is measured in views. They don't care about quality, and they certainly don't care about critical response. As long as we are willing to watch, they're gonna continue to pump out additional Rebel Moons...whether they suck or not. As much as I hate to admit it, if Rebel Moon 3 came out a few months from now, I'd totally watch it...and so would you.

    Well, as I am struggling to get through the Star Wars prequels, Rebel Moon was a welcomed distraction. However, it turns out that this rebellious moon sucked big time.

    The most shocking part is that people had to edit and work on these films. How did none of them realize it was going to be bad? Did they not have eyes? Why purposely release a bad movie and sour whatever reputation the films could have had? Why waste so much time and money making a product that is very obviously BAD???

      Usually us film workers know right away when a film is bad (WHOO I've recorded some awful lines of dialogue), and we're okay with working on it as long as we're paid well. $165million budget means everyone's rates are good. Residuals are kind of a thing of the past so people are less concerned about whether a film will be good before signing on to a project. - Timo
