So I am gonna start off with saying….yes this is another Tim Burton film,  no its ain’t as dark at all compared to Alice in Wonderland…..yes I hate this film….yeah if ur wondering why I hate this film….well never been a fan of the original. 

The main 5 reasons why I hated this film.

1. The over acting from well everyone but mainly from Micheal Keaton, it’s like he was barley given any direction. Also the hairstyle he has in this film looks terrible.
2. The 2 kids in this film were horrible actors, the scenes that asked for emotions really felt bland because these 2 can’t act.
3. There’s a sub plot of Collin Ferrell being embarrassed about having prosthetic arm, I say sub plot but that’s dropped as quickly as it was introduced.
4. Dumbo is sidelined in how own film, yeah he’s a secondary character. Which is a disgrace.
5. Throughout the film, Collin Ferrell keeps telling his 2 kids “Remember what ur mother said” Uh no no we the audience don’t know what their mom said! Because u never show us the mother or give any context to that line!
6. Also, there’s a subplot that gets dropped where every time Collin Ferrell is asked about the war or when someone says wait isn’t he supposed to be dead, he will hide his face or in one scene wear a mustache, where did this subplot go? Nowhere. It got dropped for no reason.

…so no way on earth I was gonna enjoy this film…..so a brief summary of the plot…..a elephant named Dumbo….who has big ears and can fly…has been separated from his mom….now he performs for a carnival….oh the cast of this film….is a guy with one arm (played by Collin Ferrell)……the bad guy boss in charge (played by Micheal Keaton)…….and the guy who leads the carnival group (played by Dani Devito)…..yeah thats right….BTW this ain’t the first time Michel Keaton and Dani Devito have been in a Tim Burton film……..anyways the kids who become friends with Dumbo….including Collin Ferrell….try helping him get to his mom who’s locked away from the bad guy Corporation dude…..yeah I summarize up this film….thats the plot….now let me get to what I hate…..the kid actors can’t act….when they have to show emotions…they looks like they robots…meaning they don’t show emotions…ok well they do but the way they act…as in acting…makes them seem like robots……like…..for example…..no.

..come back….u can’t do this……this isn’t right………..can u just feel the emotions I’m feeling while hearing dialog similar to those….in that tone…..anyways I also think Michael Keaton character was way to over Exaggerated……by the third act of the film i kid u not he starts slamming his hands into thr computer systems because they’re not working and he wants ut to work….Jesus…if he is smart and in charge of a company…I think he’d know smashing ur hands into it…won’t fix it….so yeah thats the film…..a forgettable one at best……good grief……honestly I don’t know what to say besides im just disappointed….granted what did I expect…I didn’t even enjoy the original animated version…so….yeah…..but even with mt expectations low…I still feel like I’m not satisfied with my expectations…..im gonna give this film a solid 3.8/10
