Illumination Entertainment are the Maroon 5 of animation

james marsden can i Hop on ur dick?

a frightening combination of maddeningly stupid and instantly forgettable, a mixture which results in a feeling of intense yet unfocused anger, the movie itself far too unmemorable to allow the brain to even properly center its outrage. unrelentingly idiotic, persistently moronic, and supremely annoying, nobody involved demonstrates even the slightest astuteness for moviemaking (james marsden in particular is a truly terrible actor). at least now I've seen all of illumination. yay?

Annoying AF.

Uggh. This little Easter tradition gets dumber and more obnoxious every time I revisit it. At least my kids seem to enjoy it.

Happy Easter everyone!

The kids get so excited each year to watch Hop, but I wish there were more movie options to help families get in the Easter spirit.

i genuinely hate everyone in this film except james marsden

I watched this in my car last night. There was something outside my door at one point, moaning and scratching at the rusted yellow paint. I didn't pause the movie. The sounds outside my car got louder, and I waited for my heart to start thrashing.

Hop the Rabbit plays music the way I want to live my life. Uproarious and aching and terrified. Even without earphones, Hop parades around his village like there's an neverending song in his heart.

There's nothing outside my car anymore. This morning I opened the door and screamed "Come back! Come here!" Even if it were to rip me apart, even if it were to be nothing but the turn of my own gaze, there's still something I need to ask it.

And they act like there's still a song inside me.

why was hbo playing this film in the middle of august and more importantly why are they playing it in general

We need more Easter movies.

me: 😔

james marsden: 🙋🏻‍♂️🍫🥚🐰🐥

It’s unbelievable how great this thing is. Like holy shit, the color palette alone makes this  timeless af.

Congratulations me! Now you’ve seen every Illumination film. 🤮

this film is one giant trip

My Illumination Reviews continue with Hop. This movie is not good. It has always been my least favorite Illumination film not because it’s live action, but it is just stupid. All the characters are unlikable particularly E.B. The CGI looks cheap and lazy. It’s not funny. Also, the writing and the story is atrocious. And, Carlos is a horrendous villain. I can’t think of any positives except that the Easter Bunny Factory looks cool. Definitely a large step down from Despicable Me.

The spinoff we didn’t deserve

I Don't know why I like this film. I Just do...

Bless my Potato Chips for dragging me all awake and stuff into the 1h35' of this boring sloggish nightmare

Truly audacious of it as well to have a scene featuring the Playboy Mansion and the "world's sexiest Bunnies" (Script's words, not mine) - really speaks to the quality of what the hell you're watching :-)

After Despicable Me, Illumination unfortunately made one of their worst features yet, Hop. Although not one of the worst live-action/CGI hybrids, it’s still a pretty dull and uninspired movie that has many of the clichés that make many of the other live-action/CGI hybrid films have a bad reputation.

who thought this was a good idea

I'm Hip and Cool, I swear it.

Two words: Boring and forgettable.

Another Lockdown Month of Animation

There’s nothing inherently terrible here, but simply a case that there is nothing of note on offer in this grotesquely by-the-numbers narrative that does nothing to separate itself from the stockpile of similar features to leave you lamenting at how incredibly safe and uninteresting Illumination’s second feature is.

This and Peter Rabbit are interchangeable in my head
