Channel Awesome this was an underwhelming film quite disappointing for what was hyped to be a great film
Review The Spongebob Squarepant Movie (2004).
Review The Simpsons Movie (2007).
you know I haven’t seen dolittle but hey if you say it’s bad or not then you’re the boss that means I gotta take your word for it
Someone seriously need to review DreamWorks monsters versus aliens, rise of the guardians and hoodwink!
Tony Stark: “What does the future hold for me?”
Doctor Strange: *sweats nervously*
United_World's Finest me: failure
D E A T H
Doctor Strange to Tony:☝️
It's the only way.
Doctor stange: you might become a man who speaks with animals and critics will talk before becoming nostalgic
Just because it's called "Dolittle" doesn't mean you should
*OH SNAP, THIS COMMENT IS UNDERRATED!!!!!!* 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
oh god xD
I swear the reason he did this film was he lost a bet while intoxicated out of his gourd.
Take my like and go.
It did get 249.1 million in the box office
How to avoid writing female characters while still pretending to have them: the movie.
Wait what?
Know that's wasn't what they were trying to do
That's just the film writers whriting a reason why Dolittle closed the place
@@maxi979 every human girl in the movie is there just for plot reasons but the movie doesn't give them a personality
The sad part (okay, there are a lot of em) is that there is a good story here. Character loses his wife, is depressed and exiled himself from society, but is called to save the life of someone who he owes. There’s a legit set up for a good story. I’ll even admit that the animals make okay characters... most of them anyway.
Actually, the more I think about it why wasn’t the girl the main character of this movie? Seriously, she had far more personality and was the most memorable character.
I don't see how having a little girl remind him of his wife is a good idea that isn't just pedophilic. And you can just as easily say that the boy reminds him of himself ect. But maybe it'd be fine.
@@DSan-kl2yc You misunderstand what I'm saying. I get what you mean by 'pedophilic' if it was purely because she was a girl and looked similar to his wife. But that's not what I was meaning in terms of 'reminding him of his wife'. I've seen movies where a character is reminded of someone they loved through a child or even grown up that never came off as 'pedephilic' or anything in that nature.
The girl in the movie, while not entirely done well, had courage and excitement for things, especially for Doolittle's world. I'm talking about her character traits that could be revealed as similar to Lily's but yet also different. Doolittle maybe reminded of her through her but he'll only see her as a child he and Lily could have had and feel responsible for her.
@@DSan-kl2yc You're an idiot and a snowflake.
Add in a dash of her learning as an apprentice to Dolittle while being the driving boot to push him forward and it might get the movie to mediocre.
TJ Jordan know what’s funny? In an extremely, extremely loose sense that’s the same plot as Helsing Ultimate, complete with being indebted to the queen
I feel like this movie was literally made with the hope that people would go see it just because Iron Man died in Endgame and they wanted to see RDJ again.
Thing is, a lot of actors do this. Film Brain talked about it years ago in his review of Strange Wilderness. To paraphrase, actors will take easy jobs to decompress after tough and demanding roles. See Eddy Redmayne. Les Mis, the Theory of Everything . . . then Jupiter Ascending and a Thomas the Tank Engine movie.
Consider that RDJ didn't just come off playing A movie or even A series but a years-long transformation of himself and the character he was playing. In that light, doesn't Dolittle being a scatterbrained layabout with an adventurous past that he's glad to have over kind of make sense?
Anthony Clay I mean, sure, I suppose so. Sure didn’t make the movie any less god-awful, undoubtably.
I saw it because I've seen the original Doctor Dolittle and the remake with Eddie Murphy.
I'm glad I didn't watch this trainwreck of a movie
Thought that was Sherlock Holmes
The animated intro would have been enough to justify an animated movie.
It’s already the plot OF a movie in itself. Why wasn’t that the movie we got?
@@Poever Because that's the plot of the first book of the source material(this movie is the second book), and it contains some icky stuff to make into a kids movie. It's the typical 'white man adventures into the unknown jungle and meets all these weird beings' type of story with the Victorian and Colonial era view.
And you'd only be fine with it being animated if it's 2D animated.
Indeed. A story about a gifted doctor who served the queen, found his lover, only to tragically lost her at one point of their adventure should be a decent enough plot for a fantasy movie. Dolittle was barely even presented as a character who had a change of heart after recuperating from the loss of his wife and curing the queen (which was motivated by him not wanting to lose his house) so why did they even bother establishing a detailed backstory only to have it followed by a generic "Find the plot device treasure" storyline?
This should have been animated. the opening was beautiful, but then I lost interest for a lot of the movie.
Such a waste of potential, they had a perfectly fine movie on the first 60 seconds.
They had every movie reboot in the first 60 seconds.
It also had such great animation. A big waste
@bigevilworldwide1 no to everything you wrote
The trailer looked alright... haven't seen the film though.
Let's be real here, the first sixty seconds is the first sixty seconds of Up! We're just missing the flying house and... ya know, it making any sense past that.
The animals here have more emotion than all the characters in the live action Lion King.
Well so dose a Cyberman
...I mean that's not wrong honestly, the animals were more puppet like there then here
Yeah..
Speakin of, did you notice the ripoff they did to the movie?
I hate to say this but I would rather watch Dolittle ten more times than Lion King 2019, because Dolittle was more fun and crazy than Lion King 2019. Also the audience score to Dolittle on Rotten Tomatoes is more higher than its critic score which shows that Dolittle is becoming more of a people’s movie than a critic’s movie and may gain a cult following in the future.
And those animals are fully animated. What's Disney's excuse?
The animation at the beginning of the movie looks so good ,why didn't they just made Doolittle into an animated movie and still have RDj voice the character,but now in animation.That would have made the movie less ridiculous and little bit more palatable.
Because hand drawn art is for babies, or at least that's the opinion of too many arrogant and ignorant people.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 Which is bullshit.
Because hand drawn animations are eXpEnSiVe. And they want make more money easily. So they just depend on RDJ's name.
crackpot theory: it was supposed to be an animated movie but they changed it and thats why so much of the movie is voiceover hidden mouth weirdness
not true for many reasons, but an interesting idea
@@plasmaoctopus1728 To be honest, the animation to me kinda look like cel-shaded CGI animation stylized to look like they're traditionally hand-drawn similar to Enter The Spiderverse, which of course would still be a better medium than talking "realistic" CGI animals.
I love how they gave Doctor Dolittle a wife for the sole purpose of killing her off.
Better than having her for the sole reason of having a strang wahman.
Kamil Szczęsny Well, I agree with him and I’m a female.
@Kamil Szczęsny No.
I hate poorly written female characters shoehorned into films for the sole reason to push an agenda and done at the expense of the film and male lead.
As soon as they start writing better female characters and not selling out the male ones I'll be supportive of them.
@@Gambit771 And adding a woman just to have her killed off is better how? You just added your agenda into something it had nothing to do with.
@Kamil Szczęsny He's got a point on how badly written many fenale main roles are.. But so are male roles. And that still doesnt make this trope of dead wife any better.
Theory: Iron man is dead and this movie is him trapped in a horrible acid trip of a purgatory.
I kinda digged Doolittle....
a horrible acid trip of purgatory.
So he got hit by the soul stone?
Well, the “iron man is dead” part isn’t really a theory.
😂
Okay, but it should be a crime that they had this beautifully animated story and decided to make it a minute long revealing the rest is live action.
*Thanos* : I am inevitable
*Iron Man* : And I.... am.... Dolittle
S N A P
11 years of being awesome as Tony Stark just faded into dust.😢
Thanos said if I'm going down I'm taking your carrer with me
*Thanos, holding an UNO Reverse Card* : But I... am still inevitable.
My first thought after that dragon scene was to make an image of Tony holding the gauntlet, saying "I am Iron Man", then cutting to Dolittle fisting the dragon. I can't bring myself to do it.
You guys do know Robert Downey JR has been in other movies besides Ironman right.
Heck earlier this year I watched a movie with my Mom about Robery Downey and These Ghosts.At the end my Mom was crying tears of Joy.
"Stop thinking your UP. You're not UP."
You're right...They're High
Don’t you mean 5’9”?
Yeah, not even remotely Up". And I didn't even like that movie...
How did you get out of the Wii console 🤔
How do you mess up "you're" in the same comment you spell it correctly twice after?
@@SapunMan american education.
11:45 Good job noticing Disney's recent live action trends, they've been annoying me lately. Girl = sweet and ravishingly innocent with a pure heart of gold (Cinderella, Aurora in Malificent, the witches in Wrinkle in Time, girl in Dumbo, this girl in Doolittle). And if it's a youngish Male = constantly amazed and smiling at everything he sees ...aside from praising the female lead that is literally his only role (Calvin in Wrinkle in Time, Bert from Mary Poppins, this dude in Doolittle).
I mean, for some reason Disney nails having interesting characters in their animated films! But they think the live action versions have to be wispy and waiflike with no discernable personality in order to achieve that "fairytale effect."
9:10 One of the rules of Hollywood seems to be that you never make a pretty actress look ugly, unless its an Oscar bait movie in which case it's actually mandatory.
I'm five minutes in and all i'm thinking is "That animated opening is pretty! Why can't the whole movie look like that?"
Because it probably would've taken longer.
@@deoxysoverlord8710 and would have been fundamentally bettter
@@cartoondinosaur7491 And would have taken longer. And we wouldn't have gotten Robert Downey Jr.
@@deoxysoverlord8710 he could've still done the voice and even then nobody would recognise him. I'd rather wait an extra 2 years for a movie than a rushed sloppy bad live action film
@@fantasticplanet2002 It's not rushed, sloppy, or bad.
This movie is another movie screwed over by studio mandate and test audiences.
Originally the movie was much closer to the tone of the first trailer.
An exciting but heartfelt adventure movie.
Think something like homeward bound.
But the studios didn't understand why it was so "serious" since it was a kids movie so they forced reshoots to make it more "funny" and frantic.
Which is why the script, pacing and editing is all over the place, scenes were actors are dubbed, the voices actors for the animals keep spouting bad improv and constantly do snarky quips.
That makes too much sense.
Lazereye57 is that true?
That's sad. It sounds like the movie could've been the next Mary Poppins. Such a shame.
Out of all this, you wise one make sense!
It’s like the walking with dinosaurs movie,it was good at first until they did a test screening,and at the last minute they added voice dubs and it ruined the good film and made it a shitfest that ruined took a shit on the original series.
Additional missed opportunity: Cat named Chaplin... reviewing an RDJ movie... RDJ played Charlie Chaplin in the movie, Chaplin.
COME ON!
What do you want to bet that the writer(s) didn't even know that he was Chaplin or that movie even exists? 😂
Talking animals, celebrity cameos, a journey around the world, barely makes sense... This is really the cinematic version of that Lil' Dicky Earth song, isn't it ?
Um, two things: The first Dr. Dolittle was a disaster, both critically AND financially, and the Eddie Murphy remake has FOUR sequels
Scott Sandler 4!? Why!? What else could they have gotten out of that film?
Hessed3712 Making the Kyla Pratt daughter the lead of the three DTV sequels
I like Robert Downey jr. Dolittle I loved it
Scott Sandler At least Eddie Murphy and Kyla Pratt better as Dr. Dolittle than this version.
The first three movies are good and fun, but the forth one, never seen it, but the fact it has to do with the white house... well...
the sad part is that the animated segment in the opening scene is actually done very well, it matches the tone of the story and is very unique and stylized. if they stuck with that for the whole movie it might have gotten the same level of praise as spider man: into the spider verse
It wouldn't. The story would've been bland and shite.
@@Gambit771 well if they stuck with the story the whole movie used sure, but if they just told the story that it told in the animated segment for the whole movie it would probably be good if they handled it right, it could have been a beautifully heartbreaking story
@@raine6813 It would've been told like every single other story in almost every single film.
A bland and boring love story with an annoying female and cucked male.
Like I haven't seen that in every single other film of the last 40 years.
@@Gambit771 i know, in the hands of the same filmmakers who made this movie that would probably happen, thats why i said "it would probably be good *if* they handled it right"
I was thinking the same, it's a shame that the ones who made this movie didn't think about it.
I like to think this movie is Robert Downey Jr’s Sherlock Holmes on one of his cocaine highs before facing Professor Moriarty.
That opening animation should have been the whole thing.
agree
@@IbadGrammarX also agreed
I watched the Pitch Meeting episode on this and hearing the summary of the plot told in a comedic way, I said, "Wow, the plot sounds terrible."
The animated portion is actually more intriguing, They should have made it animated throughout.
surft they should’ve made the beginning the whole movie.
@@fatpizza7810 It does piss me off though that 2d animation is now relegated to classic-insulting movies now.
The animation was beautiful. The movie probably would've been a hit if the whole movie had been that. And I doubt it would have cost more. It's obviously not hand-drawn. It's CGI and 90% of the movie seems to be CGI anyway.
@@MandleRoss Not only the animation, but I feel that the origin story would've been a more interesting concept, like an old-school, Disney-esque movie.
That was where all the budget went!
He didn’t do black face. He’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude and that guy did black face
It is a joke. The donkey also wasn't the one from that controversy. And it would be kind of amazing if they would make movie about him. Especially in context of his relations with OG MLP's.
@@TheRezro wondering if you comment understands the joke or not. I literally can't tell
@@bmaster461603 The joke is that he confused characters. Something else?
@@TheRezro Tropic Thunder
@@TheRezro it's a quote
Having not seen Dolittle, I cannot tell you how many of the shots shown from the film were shots I thought you guys had manipulated. Especially the squirrel “revenge” scene. Dolittle must be that bad.
Me too! This was so bad that I thought Channel Awesome did the same joke twice and it confused me a bit...
10:53 "You get the feeling someone ripped the script into a million pieces"
Actually, that's exactly what happened in one instance. The writer for The Lego Batman Movie showed his rewrite to Robert Downey, Jr., and Downey tore it to shreds in favor of "new ideas." Seriously, look it up.
As somebody from Wales, I have to say that Downey Jr's accent is a strange mix of "surprisingly alright" and "Tourist in the south that has seen Gavin and Stacey once" . I don't really know how he does this, but then I remembered that it's Robert Downey Jr so I don't care.
@@MZ-nj1hs I'm from the Middle, nobody says that round here.
@@MZ-nj1hs I'm partly surprised to here that, but not that much. Where in the South by the way?
@@MZ-nj1hs BOYO is said alot in the valleys, mainly from middle aged men in a pub lol
Reminds me of someone poorly imitating the Welsh actor from the carry on films
Matt Zolotenki well I apologise on their behalf 😅
Even when he's playing a villain, Michael Sheen can't help being adorable
If Michael Sheen had played Dolittle, this film might not have been such a colossal turd.
@@ThreadBomb damn it's so true... he seems actually perfect for Doolittle
im coming back to this review years later after i found out he was in it 😅 man he's always the best thing in whatever garbage he gets cast in. he deserves better
22:12 "Sorry I didn't know how to end this."
Yeah, the movie didn't either.
I think that end is perfect.
What about this: the movie could’ve been an origin story about Doolittle, including lily and how he met the animals, rather then this dumpster fire. Oh and it would all be animated ( in what I believe is rotoscope, but I could be wrong).
*After Avengers: Endgame*
RDJ: Thank You Marvel
*After Dolittle*
RDJ: Marvel can you renew my contract?
Trenton Hamilton he might show up in black widow
Having dolittle help the dragon with the pain of losing a lost one would have been so good but ffs why a fart joke? It is so infuriating.
It'd have been better to be an egg. :c
What's weirder is apparently Downey was the one who made that idea. Like after the movie came out I was recommended an article through Google that talked about it... Like what?
Yeah like have an interesting twist where the Dragon isn’t violent and is a complete nervous wreck because his or her partner was killed by a knight years ago, it would be interested to see the typical “knight slays a monster guarding a legendary mcguffin” be seen from the monsters point of view where it’s just doing a job and didn’t deserve to get slaughtered for it
"A HIT Rex Harrison film in the 60's?" The 60's Doctor Dolittle was a box office bomb that nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox
... and like many similar films that could tell the same story oh, it's now considered a classic, LOL
Sleeping Beauty was a box office bomb that nearly bankrupted Disney, and now that's considered a classic.
@@KarstensCreationsKC Okay, you changed the word from hit to classic, meaning saying, "a hit in the 60's" is factually wrong and a "classic today," would be subjectively correct
I hope there's a CATS review coming
I’m sure they’re taking their time with it. I think Doug and Rob want it to be PURRRRRRRRR-fect.
I keep picturing them having The Cat In The Hat come into that review and they do a pardody of Mister Mistoffelees
Yep
Riding off on Chaplin like he's Falcor has just officially cured my Quarantine-Depression. Thanks Dr. Nostalgia Critic! You know, now would be the perfect time for you to actually review 'The Secret of NIMH'. After all, she's trying to keep her son, who is dying of a respiratory disease, safe by keeping him isolated and indoors!!! It's the ultimate 'shelter in place' triumph movie!
Fuchur is called Falcor in your country? Man lernt nie aus.
@@ValiconSilly Bitte schoen, meine freund!
Holy hell that is the single worst Welsh accent I've ever heard. I mean I'm Welsh and it took me up to when he said "boyo" to even realize what accent he was failing so horribly at.
Which is ironic because they literally had a Welsh actor in there.
@@bananatiergod*awkward* Michael Sheen noises..
That was a Welsh accent? I thought his Irish was just really bad.
Im sorry.
I had no clue what accent he was doing if they told me he was creating his own to be "method" I'd believe you.
Tidy!!!
Nice. When are The Golden Compass movies going to resume?
Even The Chronicles of Narnia movies did talking animals better.
What about His Dark Materials?
I'm surprised he didn't make a bigger deal about the dragon anus
How much did they focus on it
RDJ: I'm going to make some new movies, I'm done with Marvel, I am no longer Iron Man.
*Dolittle flops like a dying fish out of water*
RDJ: .....I am Iron Man.
I don’t know what Doug’s talking about when he says the trailer didn’t look bad
I knew it would be a flop before the trailer was even over
Same. The trailer is the biggest lie ever shown in theaters
I know. But it sure fooled a lot of people. It baffled me how many people on facebook were super excited about it. Just because RDJ was on it.
It doesn't seem to be that bad. But then again, I only saw some scenes uploaded months after release so what say do I have in the matter?
Edit: Ok, after seeing this review, I realize the movie is a mediocre, sloppy mess but at least the cgi is good.
As soon as I heard the song in the trailer and RDJ's voice I went "Yup, this is gonna suck."
Plot twist: This is all just a dream Ironman is having while dying.
Tbh, I think the idea of a squirrel having a Vietnam flashback after a near death experience and wanting revenge pretty funny....
Proof not every thing Robert Downy jr. Is in is good
Ha. Funny
Not even Endgame
@Marvellous Memes Iron Man 2 is good... just bad by the MCU standards... which is still good...
I actually liked this movie,it was pretty good
It was so he could join THE LEAGUE
In the words of a better movie:
"Where's the...."
*DRAGON!*
Bowling Dude Shrek
Let's see the positive aspect of this movie. Between that and him leaving the MCU, RDJ will surely make the third Sherlock Holmes just to recover from this.
Yeah, I just love hos performance as Sherlock Holmes
Warner Brothers put a bunch of Sherlock Holmes clips on their UA-cam channel in the last year. Hmmmmmmmmmm 🧐
The soundtrack for Dolittle was pretty good though. Gotta like that good old Danny Elfman sound.
@@generalstaal7075 Well it's Danny Elfman so yeah X)
I can't help but think that when the Critic's talking about RDJ's pre-Iron Man career, he's forgetting about the Oscar nomination RDJ got for Chaplin or the Guy Ritchie-directed Sherlock Holmes movies (which technically count because the first one came out earlier in 2008 than Iron Man 1 did).
Please review "mandy" it is one off the most insane movies ever and yet is so kick ass. Oh and it has Nick Cage fighting a whole cult by himself. I know this just might sound like me wishing but as soon as I saw this movie I knew it was just perfect for you
Yeah I remembere that movie
EB the man a “hole cult?”
What Nic Cage film DOESNT have him fighting a whole cult?
I think Cats is the next logical thing to review
Ulysses Fontaine umm, Wallys wonderland, hello
Dog: And that's coming from the guy who loves the smell of butts
DoLittle: Oh, you do love butt.
Me: I'm not sure for what reason I laughed at that or even if I should.
You should laugh at that
I laughed at the chin part
RDJ sounded like he was channeling Sherlock Holmes and Tyrion Lannister (when he is drunk) I agree that isn't his best acting.
Oh my god Tommy managed to not look whimsical or enchanted by what's happening. At least for a short while. By the way the facial expression of Junior while he was drowning is the most hilarious reaction to a potential death ever potrayed on screen.
When it comes to movies like this, it really makes me wonder “who made it so bad”. As in, was it the director? Did all the managers give so many edits to highlight their clients that it turned the movie into such a chop shop? Was it the studios? Were the actors just off or were they rushed? Etc
It's often a synthesis of all/most of the above.
All of this plus the studio wanting to make money with the most cheap (creatively) way plus bad writing
just because the director did a great job with the effects and characters doesnt mean the script isn't shit. it's an amalgam of everyone's work and can end up as a dumpster fire or interstellar gold. the director though has more control than the writer.
Apparently, it was the first director the movie had. I read in another comment how he was batshit insane
"Please Help Bland Children" must be this week's charity shout out.
For ten years I was sure that my late cat had the most green eyes out of all regular housecats, but now I see that Chaplin beats her in that category.
Look at those pieces of emerald!
I wonder what would have happened if Tim Burton directed this one....
*producer is Joe Roth (Alice In Wonderland)*
Nevermind.
"hit Rex Harrison film" is a funny way of saying "one of classic Disney's biggest box-office bombs"
Yeah, it was pretty infamous for being a bomb, a critical failure, and only receiving a best picture nomination thanks to extensive campaigning. That phrase kind of shocked me when he said that. Also, wasn’t it was made by 20th Century Fox, not Disney?
it wasn't made by Disney
Doctor Strange: I've looked through every possible future movie you could star in.
Robert Downey Jr: How many are good?
Doctor Strange: I'll have to keep looking.
Cosmo the blue peashooter ironically, cumberbatch appeared in 1917 which came out as the exact same time as dolittle
I mean, he saw himself starring in a pointless and soulless grinch remake. Who really has it worse?
I almost choked on my breakfast when that "Blan Children" joke happened.
Personally, I would perhaps rather just watch the Eddie Murphy Dr. Dolittle than this one.
Eddy Murphy dolittle is the only one that exists
Captain America after Endgame: Having trouble with his family after his grandpa died and being a douchebag
RDJ after Endgame: This movie
for a moment I thought you were talking about Chris Evans in real life bc I forgot Knives Out movie existed xD
If I can just bring up just one thing its that this movie had realistic designed animals like the Lion King remake but ALSO let them be expressive.
Wow, great point.
One of the VERY few good points the movie had.
No, no. he's got a point
It's amazing they thought about that detail in a movie where they clearly thought about nothing else.
@@Alondro77 At least there's that, but every time I saw the polar bear, I was just reminded of Total from _Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made._
You just needed the "Neverending Story" song to be playing while you were riding Chaplain.
The advertising for this movie was OUT there, man
When I worked in a grocery store two years ago, I saw ads for this on cereal boxes in the organic isle.
On crappy off brand cereal like... "Monkey-O's", "Sugar Parrots" and "Cinnamon Flakes"
The fact that both Lady Rose and Jip the dog were both set up in the beginning and then sidelined for the rest of the film extremely irked me. I mean, all Lady Rose did was cry by the Queen's bedside, and Jip was probably the most useful animal apart from Polly yet HE'S the one who gets left behind. I mean, if you're gonna have Tom Holland voice a talking dog that belongs to RDJ, then you better deliver for God's sakes!!!!!!
Should have just screamed "I didn't know how to end this!" while majestically riding your cat dragon and then went "Yeeeeaaaaah!"
6:59 Great, now I can't stop picturing Bugs Bunny going to Dolittle's place and asking "What's Up, doc?"
Haha. I immediately picked up he was referring to the movie Up, but that's far funnier. XD
I forgot Tom was a dog. I do love the villains 🤣
I was pissed they didn’t use Tom as the dog enough
Oh so that’s why Chaplin was moody in the advertising, lol. (Ironically, Downey played Charlie Chaplin)
Aside from Ironman & maybe the Sherlock Holmes movies, that was the only other movie I liked RDJ in. (mostly because I'm a Charlie Chaplin fan lol)
That was clever!!
"I'm Chaplin!"
Yes. Yes he is. Being a flying cat is TIGHT.
Yeah yeah yeah!
His name is Keaton, now. WHat do you think of that, KEATON? [maniacal laughter]
Wow wow wow wow
Someone's been watching Pitch Meetings.
Ssssshhhh don’t explain the joke
I saw this at my local drive in as a double feature (the other movie was call of the wild, oh my god, it was shit) and honestly, I would 100% rewatch this with a friend purely for Michael Sheen’s performance. The man emanates this bonkers, looney energy here that I just adore.
This is where iron man went after he died at the end of endgame
I cringed so hard at the "good dog" line... I know Hollywood likes to animate every animal like a dog for some reason, but a freakin' polar bear, "good dog"?
That tells how lazy the writing is in this
And that damn Godfather reference....why?! That has no context and this movie takes place before Godfather happened
Ugggh...
"That wasn't a polar BEAR, that was a polar DOG" Jayson said with "no" sarcasm. 🤣
My husband and I just watched the review and just thought that animated section should have been the whole movie. It probably would have done better if it was completely animated and told the origins of Dr. Dolittle and how he found his wife. This movie seems like a unnecessary sequel.
Let's just assume the children are having a fun time at the movie while the many Iron man fans are having a hard time trying to convince their kids they should go home.
Dr. Dolittle was one of my favorite book series as a kid, and I never liked the prior movies. So I was really excited by this.
Then I saw it. Aieee.
Sorry man
I like to think that this is tony stark and that he ended up in this movie after dying from killing thanos, but he loses his memory, his armor and gains the ability to talk to animals.
So basically a bad purgatory
Maybe he lost his mind too?
Stark has charm and wit. So... No.
I definitely think it's what happened to Sherlock Holmes after he fell down that waterfall.
I thought it was a rip-off of the time Darkseid shot Batman through time and had to find his way to the future, but he lost his mind along the way.
We had Peter's "We won, Mr. Stark." that left audiences crying, and then we had Tommy's "Oh no." that left people going "Heh?".
Glasses&Mouthplates won
The worst part: I saw the trailer for this movie and was looking forward to it since I thought it was going to be a magical adventure movie.
I never saw it in theatre, and now I'm probably not even going to buy it on DVD or Blu-ray.
They are the same so if u liked the trailer ur probably gonna like the movie just sayin
I saw it in theaters
Instantly regret it
I feel like this is the first time I heard the NC call Jim Broadbent “Jim Broadbent” and not “The British Guy that Seems to Be in Everything But You Never Really Take the Time to Learn What His Name is”
Judging from that story you posted earlier, he doesn’t like this.
I like you profile pic
Nostalgia Critic bled at me with his eyes, I'm very scared
God everytime the narrator speaks all i hear is. "and so kratos, tempered by his vengence, when to mount olympus to seek his revenge against the gods themselves"
Britney Spears called DoLittle "a must see" on her instagram.
That means this is gonna be an Oscar winner.
Eddie Murphy’ Dr Doolittle actually has 2 sequels, the 3rd movie is about his youngest daughter
Yea nobody wants to remember that one with his daughter
Don't apologise for ending the review like that. Any excuse to have more scenes with Chaplin is always welcome.
The first "Dr. Doolittle" movie, starring Rex Harrison was NOT a hit.
Meh, I liked it, even if it wasn't a hit.
It even killed merchandising tie-ins for a time.
Dem H78 agreed
Eddie Murphy does it best
I liked it as a kid... Well the Eddie Murphy one at least
Same
I originally wanted to see this movie and was really excited for it. RDJ talking to animals. How could that go wrong? Needless to say, I'm glad I never watched the movie.
At the razzies, it was nominated for
Worst Picture
Worst Director
Worst Actor for Robert Downey Jr
Worst Screenplay
Worst Screen Combo for Robert Downey Jr. and his utterly unconvincing "Welsh" accent
It won worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel
You should do the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies. It would be interesting to see the opinion of someone who didn’t grow up on the movies or books
One thing everyone can understand from both, is that Greg is an asshole in both.
Oh please! The fourth sequel was the only bad movie in this franchise!
@@juju_426 completely. If I were to review them, they would be like this.
1. Perfection
2. Perfection
3. Perfection
4. Trash
Roderick rules is easily the best one.
"Stop thinking you're Up. You're not Up. Stop thinking you're Up."
Now say that line as an innuendo.
8:23 Why can I see that squirrel collapsing onto his knees and screaming KENOBIIIIIIIIIIIII?
Jokes on everyone, this entire movie was just Sherlock Holmes's vivid nightmares after he found the bottle of absinthe and decided to combine it with medicinal spirits, thus this work is GENIUS LMAO 🤣!
I feel kinda sad that unlike Chris Evans, RDJ didn’t jump to a film that would be quite successful and beloved and could potentially be seen as a cult classic...
What's that knives out. I'm honestly asking
@Chaos Contained knives out was 10/10 for me
Douglas Babb that was years before he left marvel though...
@bigevilworldwide1 I didn't like the last Jedi either. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy his other films. Knives out was good and Chris Evans was good in it.
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j I mean, Rian Johnson say what you will about him, he has directed some pretty good movies such as Looper.
This film bombed, yet is one of the highest-grossing films of the year. That shows how much the film industry has been affected by the virus.
It did, it’s currently #1, followed by Sonic the Hedgehog. Dolittle is still #3.
What are you on about? The pandemic had nothing to do with the film bombing. Also, how much money it made doesn't exactly reflect how much it needed to be profitable.
Doesn’t mean anything, it still lost money and no one likes it
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 He means that because of the pandemic no other movie is making much money so even a bomb like this is top 5.
Box office grosses were already at their lowest point in decades. People are getting tired of going through the hassle of going out to the theater when there are now so many home entertainment options. Sure, you still have big event movies like "Endgame" that make tons of money, but those are the exception.
12:19 Was that the charity shout out for this week? XD
I grew up watching the 1960s Dolittle and because of that it's the one that's holds a special spot in my heart.😊
You know what I miss the most now that NC isn’t recorded at their studio anymore?
Brown door
Brown door!
@@TheMojaveLamp Brown Door
@@Josh-Hammerman Brown door?
Brown door
Shut that brown door!
The first film RDJ did after the MCU.
Ouch.
Carlos Lopez-Ortega he’s apparently gonna be in Black Widow
2:32 By "hit" do you mean one of the biggest box office disasters of the 60s and partially responsible for the death of the studio musical?
Not helping was Rex Harrison himself being a big fat dick the whole time.
