Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway Movie Review
Peter rabbit is an half cgi/real life family movie. The sequel to the movie no body wanted
Like all cgi movies, they have an awesome cast. James Corden as Peter, Margot Robbie as Flopsy, Elizabeth Debicki as Mopsy, Daisy Ridley as Cottontail rabbit, and Colin Moody as Benjamin. The male protagonist is played by Domnhall Gleeson while his counterpart is Rose Bryne. The movie is directed by Will Gluck.
There are some movies that never should have sequel. This is one of them. I never expected it to be mind-blowing. I watched the first one to be a family fun time which it excelled at. I think that the story should've ended by that movie. Unfortunately, since the movie was worldwide hit, the producers jumped on the wagon of money making sequel. I never thought what the sequel would be, they did OKAY. The movie was nowhere close as the first one. The movie continues where Bea and McGregor got married. McGregor and Peter were on good terms. But McGregor still had some grudge against Peter. He wanted a real family, but Peter was thorn in his way. On the other side Bea started to write a book about the first movie story, which was picked by a famous publisher Nigel which was played by David Oyelowo. Nigel also considered Peter a brat. So the Peter went out the way, pushed everyone away to prove himself that he was the story of the movie. And the story continues and provides us with many different learnings that a kids movie should have.
The fans of Peter Rabbit book will hate the movie cause the movie squeezes out of the characters from the book and creates a story out of nowhere. The first one was fun and worthy of watching. The second one is mixed bag. I think they should just stop here. But they already confirmed a third movie is in the works. I am gonna recommend you should watch the movie if you just want to have some fun. But if you are wanting a worthy successor, just leave it.
