Harold and the purple crayon drew a very bad movie

I may have grown up watching the original series on HBO Family, but I still thought that this movie is another bad live action remake of an older IP . The story is very boring , predictable, and doesn’t offer anything new to the table, the characters are either just stereotypes, or just plain unlikable , and the visual effects and animation doesn’t look that good to todays standards. If you have older kids who know the IP but are tired of live action remakes then don’t let them see this movie because, it wouldn’t be worth it for them. 3/10

It’s whatever

It’s a decent movie. The book is better.

Didn't make sense

Some of it just didn't make sense, near the end, that librarian guy drew some really useless stuff that nobody would draw to take over the world LOL. Why did the lady just allow 2 random guys to get into her car? Why did the animals turn into humans in the real world? Overall, it wasn't really a good movie.

Few pros, lots of cons.

I liked the movie, but I think it isn't good, should have had a better ending, please do not take younger children, I'd give it 2/5 stars.
