Don't understand the hate.


Watched it this morning for a time filler. I thought it did a great job of fleshing out a classic short/Dr. Suess story.

The question is did it need to be fleshed out. Seuss' original story was complete in itself.

I agree. It frankly annoys me how some people went into this movie already wanting to hate it. Kind of like what’s also already happening with The Rise of Skywalker too. I also liked this movie a little fine and found it inoffensive myself.

How do you compare it to the two other versions?

reply

I think it compliments the original short very well. I honestly cannot comment on the Jim Carrey version, I've only seen bits and pieces, but I'm not a big fan of live action cartoons in general.
