REVIEW: “THE MEG” & “CHRISTOPHER ROBIN”
This week’s movies are pretty bad, but at least “The Meg” was enjoyable bad, versus “Christopher Robin” which is…. just nightmarish.
“The Meg” is what happens when you give a SyFy channel original movie concept a Chinese budget (and Jason Statham). Objectively I know it is not a good movie, but I still very much enjoyed it. It stars Statham, Li Bing Bing, Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson, Jessica McNamee, Cliff Curtis, Robert Taylor, Page Kennedy, Winston Chao, and Masi Oka.
On the flip side there’s the at times TOO serious “Christopher Robin” which tells the tale of Winnie the Pooh – but once he’s been forgotten by Christopher Robin… It stars Ewan McGregor, Haley Atwell, Brad Garrett, Peter Capaldi, Toby Jones, Mark Gatiss, Sophie Okonedo, and Jim Cummings.
