#but overall i feel like they’ve tried overly hard to modernise a story that just.. isn’t modern. whoville is a fantasy christmas world!

I’m trying to give The Grinch (2018) a chance, I really am, but all I can think is
#first off the grinch is not nearly gross enough. the man lives in a garbage dump. why does he shower and why does he have multiple pairs#of trousers. jim carrey’s grinch was a pussy out kind of guy and we loved and appreciated him for that#he’s also not grumpy enough or unhinged enough. his tirades make too much sense#my other qualm is the animation at large. it’s everything i loathe about dreamworks over the past five years#everything is so samey. i shouldn’t be able to replace cindy-lou who with agnes from despicable me without anyone noticing#the mood is so wrong. this is supposed to be an adaptation of a dr seuss book not a sing! sequel set during the winter#there’s too much emphasis on funny noises and not enough emphasis on actual comedy. i know kids find funny noises funny but like. still#the only thing i don’t have an issue with here is max the dog. max you’re doing amazing sweetie#i also weirdly don’t mind mr cucumberpatch’s grumpy old man voice. it would work if it went with his character design at all#i like the narrator’s voice as well; he’s nailing it#but overall i feel like they’ve tried overly hard to modernise a story that just.. isn’t modern. whoville is a fantasy christmas world!#it should not be full of ipad kids. thank you for your time#personal#**i think i may have gotten agnes and edith mixed up but my point still stands
