Dolittle

An average kids’ movie with a high standard of special effects. I can’t understand why Downey decided to make a film like this. He isn’t suited to such acting malarkey and the only thing that could explain it would be that his kids are huge Dolittle fans. However, there are a lot of WTF scenes that make it worth watching. One of the weirdest such scenes is the one where they pull bagpipes out of a dragon’s ass. (2020-07-16)

If this doesn't entertain kids, I’m not sure what the point was. It's a ridiculous mess, and I can only imagine how absurd filming must have been. I wish I could have been there to see it. You can clearly tell that all the animals are CGI, and the actors behave like they've escaped from a madhouse. (2024-02-05)

Tony Stark's journey came to a close after Avengers: Endgame, so he thought he’d spend some time with animals of various species and sizes to chat with and treat them in his own way. I’m a sucker for computer-generated animals after the new Lion King, and especially after Life of Pi, so I have to point out that in the case of Dolittle, they could have tried a little harder. Aside from that, I found the humour a bit muddled, it was a blatantly childish, black, and even slightly fecal. On the other hand, this is a mostly easygoing film that passes by in the cinema, pleasantly amusing and surprising at times, but definitely don't expect any deeper story. The bonus point at the end was the title song "Original" by Sia. (2020-01-16)
