Story: 1/10. None of the beats landed and I actively was waiting for the story moments to end so the violence can begin.
Violence: 4/10. Half of it was gun violence, which is fucking dumb when watching a movie about a mutated and vengeful deer. The other half, while awesome, was CGI. And they have a very small CGI budget seemingly, so it wasn’t good.
Bambi: 8/10. Mainly because it reminded me of my dog, but my dog is silly and Bambi is violent. There were some personality things that I don’t like in my scary, violent, murderous CGI animal characters, like attempts at human expressions, but otherwise, Bambi was great. When killing people.
Overall: 4/10, because when you watch a movie by the team that brought you Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, all you expect is massive amounts of blood and gore with a barebones story to hold it together. I watched Bambi expecting to see the deer equivalent of Winnie The Pooh with a chainsaw. Unfortunately, all I got was poor CGI, and not in the fun, low budget way.
Bambi was poor CGI in the fun, low budget way. The gore was poor CGI in the “why the fuck didn’t you just make a practical effect, wtf is this shit?” way.
So, Bambi gets a 4/10. It’s like if the Terrifier guys toned down their gore and focused on Art’s character arc. Gross. I want buckets of blood!
