  • Illumination's The Grinch (2018) is easily the WORST rendition of the character I have ever seen. Here's a 20 minute video explaining why.
    By the way, Merry Christmas everyone! Hope the holidays are treating you well as the end of the decade quickly approaches. It's crazy to think that 2020 is right around the corner.
    Good news is I've got loads of new video ideas just waiting to be tried, and 2020 will definitely be full of both new and familiar video subjects that I hope you get a kick out of. If you liked this video, there's more where this came from! Happy Holidays!

    My biggest problem with this version is that the Grinch is way too nice and isn't all that mean. Say whatever you want about the Jim Carrey version, but at least that film knew that the Grinch has to be his most "Grinchiest" just so his kindness at the end was well earned.

      Plus the live action Grinch movie was one big hilarious shit post. It was bad but it was still funny. Illumination's Grinch is so bland and flat and it misses the point of the Grinch so badly that it's genuinely ridiculous. Like how do you mess up a cruel, evil, disgusting monster and instead make him a dweeby, wannabe bad guy?

    Considering this is the same company that slaps their movies' characters onto any kind of merchandise they can think of, I'm not surprised that Illumination's Grinch barely touches the commercialization and materialism of Christmas. If they criticized that stuff, then people will be dissuaded from buying their Grinch-themed Christmas merchandise.

    Live Action: It’s strange, it’s bizarre, and has lots of cruel humor. My kind of guilty pleasure
    CGI: It’s just boring, dull, and bland. What a wasteful cast for Benedict Cumberbatch.
    I agree that I rather take Jim Carrey Version than Benedict Cumberbatch Version anyday because at least it has something to be entertain. The only good thing about Illumination’s take is the animation is pretty to look at but that’s about it.

I’m a huge Nintendo fan and next to Pokemon, Mario is my favorite video game franchise for how fun, creative, and imaginative their games are. I’m not asking for a Mario movie to be in the same quality as say like Pixar or Studio Ghibli, I just want it to be fun and entertaining instead of being so bland and boring.

    The only thing more horrifying than the live-action Grinch baby is the Funko Pop version of the 2018 Grinch baby.
    Seriously though, I hate the fact that this film is practically made up of _nothing_ . Yeah, adapting the original version to a full length feature film (again) is going to involve some padding, but I would be fine with it so long as it had some sort of substance or added bits of interesting story-telling. To me, the live-action version did this well when they added those extra interactions between the Grinch and Cindy Lou, two individuals who were sick of the commercialism of Christmas for different reasons. Here, we just have more "safe" jokes and sub-plots that don't really add anything. It's a shame that those take priority over showing a plausible motivation for the main antagonist.
    Well, at the very least they weren't running promotions with cars and plastering ads on disposable popcorn buckets for a movie who's main message dealt with environmentalism. And at least this wasn't as bad as the live-action Cat in the Hat...though that's not really an impressive accomplishment.

    This Grinch looks so dull compared to old Grinch. Not to come off as a cranky old man who hates everything new, but at least old grinch looked mean, creepy, and generally unpleasant and unkind. This one, looks very very boring, like some bootleg plush you’d find in a carnival game. Also, I’d hate to see what Illumination has in store for yet another Minion movie and the Mario movie. Like we needed another one of those. Worked so well the last time didn’t it?

    Speaking of detail, you're right. They made him too clean. Look at his home. It looks AMAZING. That's not the type of set up you'd get from someone who is essentially a hermit who hates the world and puts assumptions on others before realizing that he was way off base. (points to the first special and the book!) That's why the Carry version worked so well in design and costume. They more or less HYPED the illustrations and animation of both the book and the Jones' special to make it look REAL but at the same time it gave off a cartoony feel to it which is what I love, when you can mix both reality and fantasy together. Granted, the Carry pad still looked awesome but that was BECAUSE Of how messy it was, not how PERFECT it was.
    In the new version, everything is so damn sorted and clean. It looks like a HIPSTER CAVE and I'm not even joking. I mean, hell! Look at Max's little set up! It's like a perfect little bunk and the Grinch even gave him a padded mattress and a curtain to keep him warm!
    THE GRINCH TREATED HIS DOG LIKE SHIT....WHICH I am not supporting by the by but again...DETAILS. We're supposed to SEE that everything around the Grinch is as messy and as nasty as he is. But they missed that point and...yeah.

    Man, when they make a version of the Grinch that makes the Nostalgia Critic appreciate the Jim Carrey version a lot more (despite that he’s not a fan of that version), you know they messed up.
    The moment I knew that Illumination is working on the movie, I knew they’re going to mess this one up. From the trailers and a lot of scenes, Illumination really just made this movie as Despicable Me lite than the Grinch. Good thing Warner Bros. is now going to be in charge of the upcoming Dr. Seuss movies (given their track record of great movies like Happy Feet and the LEGO Movie) and if any indication of how good the Green Eggs and Ham Show (made by WB and Netflix), it looks like Dr. Seuss’ movies are in the right direction.

    The WORST Grinch?!
    I have to say yes. The problem with Illuminations Grinch is that it feels like any other animated movie you have seen everyhwere you go.
    I actualy bought the DVD for the original animated movie and watching that 44 minute movie of the classic Dr. Seuss story is satasfying. I actualy do even like Jim Carrey's Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Granted the Whoville looks colorless and dead and the Who's themselves look kind of freakish, but Jim Carrey as The Grinch always stole the spotlight and that movie still understood the classic story and had some heart and passion put into it. Hell, Illumination's Grinch just walks around Whoville like nothing happens, but in the Jim Carrey version The Grinch had to disguise himself to actualy walk around the city, so that people don't freak out and cause a comotion that he is in the city. Even mentioning his name made the Who's panic in the Jim Carrey version of the film. The Illumination Grinch just feels like it's just doesn't care at all. The only thing I can say positive about the movie is how creative they went with Grinch stealing Christmas.

  • @battybuddy
    @battybuddy 4 роки тому +24

    I think another aspect that people forget is that the grinch disliked the whos gathering around afterwards and singing as “the thing he hates worst of all”. Yet the singing is EXACTLY the same thing that makes him realize what Christmas is to the point he actually brings everything back. In a way the singing is embracing the togetherness and love, and it could be argued that the grinch sees this as the most hypocritical act, after wallowing in the presents and food.
    He was actually anticipating the whos to be CRYING. He changes because even through he thoroughly removed everything that he thought they had to celebrate over, they were still celebrating. So In a way he realizes it’s not hypocritical, it’s genuine.
    Actually one thing I found bizarre with the live action take is that the grinch almost gives up rescuing the sled of gifts saying “well, they’re just presents” until he notices Cindy Lou is on the sled.
    I mean, in the cartoon version, Max is still on the sled, and even if the grinch treats his dog like a slave, I don’t think he’d let Max fall over the edge along with the sled, even if he DIDNT get redeemed. The sled was tipping over cause in his shock he let go of Max and the sled was going over as a result.
    (Also Max was a slave who barely liked the grinch, and did what he wanted cause of course, he’s a loyal dog who has no real say in anything. He wasn’t Gromit helping Wallace get ready for the day)

    • @SuperCosmicMutantSquid
      @SuperCosmicMutantSquid 4 роки тому +2

      It also should be noted that in the Halloween special, Max actually LEAVES the Grinch. Don't know if that counts as continuity but it should be noted that even by that time, he realized that Max would have had enough of the Grinch's shit and left him on his own accord.
      And as for the singing, that is one of the few things I disliked about the live action remake and that was putting the Whos' better mentality squarely on Cindy-Lou. I mean, part of me understands WHY they did it since even with her small role in the cartoon, she's always been central figure of the story. I just didn't like that in the live action film, they made her the only 'smart' one when the book and the original special showed that all of them got together and she more or less stood in as the actual vessel for the Grinch to come into contact with to see that himself. The first run DVD of the live action movie had a cut scene where they DID film the Who's crying over their lost presents and it was awful, because it defeated both the points of the book and the cartoon; the Grinch is 'defeated' because the Whos' don't let him defeat them if that makes any sense. He is waiting in anticipation to hear them cry but the original cut of the movie he got exactly what he wanted and in the end it didn't matter if Cindy did eventually get them to sing; he still won.
      So it makes sense why they cut that scene down but it still bothered me that the movie had the Whos commercialized anyway only to have Cindy's DAD of all people be the one to give the final say in everything when it kinda feels like even he didn't earn that moment? I mean, for the most part Cindy's family are just side-joke characters with her being the only central Who aside from the Mayor and that other lady so....why the dad even after it felt like the entire movie there was no real connection between them aside from him sort of relaying, and not very well, what the Grinch was.
      I mean, I still like the live action version because of Carrey but aside from that, the rest of the movie is incredibly BLOATED. But it's still better than this!

      You have nostalgic Millennials like me pointing out what it did right, while you have the detractors pointing out what it did wrong.

    i honestly didn't like the illumination version of the grinch. i mean him being an orphan is a fine idea yet in the live action one he was mistreated, bullied and during the happiest moment in most kids lives i.e christmas. was the worst memory for him, so his hatred for christmas made sense. in the illumination he was an orphan yet it was never explained why he was never adopted. everyone who sees him in whoville is polite to him, smiling inviting him to things. no one is rude or mean so him not being adopted made zero sense. plus with cindy wanting her mom to get a break would of had more weight if cindy realized she should be the one to help her mom. sorry but every scene cindy was in, she was leaving her mom to do other stuff, never realizing if she stayed and helped her mom cook breakfast or took care of her younger siblings. her mom wouldn't be so tired, i really didn't like this version of cindy lou. she was oblivious to a simple solution to her mom's problem. as for the climax my favorite is the live action, grinch is about to give up thinking it is just toys right, yet when he sees cindy lou ontop of the sled wanting to be with him on christmas so he wouldn't be alone. seeing her in danger it was one of my favorite scenes. so yeah the live action might be weird at times yet it holds the same value as the original material in my opinion. illumination sadly misses the mark heavily.

    I don't understand the whole orphan backstory at all, cause its not even written coherently. It implies that hes the one last grinch to exist in who-ville, and nobody wanted him bc i guess grinches are gross to adopt but if all the children had been adopted but him where was the headmaster/mistress or caretaker at the orphanage to notice that a child didnt get adopted? hes literally neglected without proper reason bc they never mention a caretaker and orphanage's arent run by children alone. If the whole town is so close knit as the movie implies, why did nobody care to say "hey one child is left!" Maybe this was to emulate the live action's story of him being different, but at least the live action version had some explanation for him being different to the whos and not even the old ladies adopting him had no clue where this green baby came from.
    Also what I really dislike about the start of the movie is how they try to play off him being grumpy and depressed as "relatable" humor as if to say "hahaha look hes depressed and hes eating large amounts of food!"

    I see they haven't learned Jack from the lorax. The exact same flaws are in both movies;
    -visual decisions that undermine characters
    -throwing out any subtle or thought provoking messages for simple minded stories we've seen so many times before
    -shifting main characters personalities from any sort of interesting to one note that ultimately makes the character development feel undeserving or way less significant
    -stupid pop culture references
    -unnecessary sideplots that don't add anything interesting and again, push the simple af storytelling
    -tell don't show
    With the only saving grace being the animation, because we need to make this marketable. At least with the lorax though we got meme O'hare, even if he is a one note villian with the subtlety of air bottles.

    I worked as a server during the time this movie was in theaters and even before it came out I knew it was going to be horrible. Because like so many animated movies including this one think it’s easy to make because their demographic are easy money. I don’t have positives for Illumination The Grinch, unlike the 2000 film. My main negatives are The voice acting for the Grinch and Cindy Lou. While Cumberbatch is a good choice, his way of voicing the character defeats his casting choice, and he’s not even mean, grouchy, scary, repulsive, or even fearful. Cindy Lou is no better, she’s knot cute, she’s annoying, bland, and boring. The cover of the main Grinch is another reason why this movie will not age well. It’s the type of music that a lot of people hear and just have them what they want instead something we need (a good old song brought in to the new). The backstory why Grinch dislikes Christmas, it is weak and not a good reason to hate it if anything it makes you feel bad for him. And the narration is big no. It has no impact unlike Boris Karloff or Anthony Hopkins’ take on it.
    In conclusion, this movie sucks.

Also, Tyler the Creator’s Christmas album. But yeah, it’s pretty dull and underwhelming for the most part.

    In regards to the music, I think it In itself is fine and possibly really good, simply because of the artist that made it, Tyler the creator started as a super toxic offensive artist that made a 180 after falling into the persona and came out of it a better person. I feel he's most fitting for the grinch. His harsh voice is also really off putting and I think it makes for a nice "modern" spin on the song. ANYTHING outside of the music and its usage I completely agree with you.
