Fodimin Layton Upon first glance, this movie is what it say's on the tin; a witty and nostalgia filled family adventure. But by watching the movie one starts to scratch, tear and then destroy the thin surface in which this movie stuck it's success so profusely upon.The film itself starts off as the Hanna Barbera cartoon we all hate to admit we love, but that charm wears off as the onslaught of pop- culture references and corny dialogue begin to rear their ugly heads. And we all know from the first Scooby-Doo movie how that turned out.Although, if one positive thing is to be said about this near clichéd family adventure, is that at least it wasn't based as far away from the source material unlike a certain other movie which was mentioned above.Don't waste your time checking this out, there are better things to see.

Harriet Deltubbo Take a deep breath when you enter the cinema to see this one because it's downright breathtaking. At the end of the day, it's a fun, entertaining blockbuster, and that's really all it needed to be. I love this movie, which is hilarious! My favorite character is Yogi Bear. Yogi catches his cape on fire at one point. Yogi proves he is "smarter than the average bear." My only problems with the film are most present in the latter half. The first 45 minutes is a lot of fun and is rather cleverly made. I wasn't really sure if I'd like the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, Lots of time on character development, and the intricacies that make you really care for a plot and its characters. 7/10.

samuelkippin This is my first review so don't be to hard if its not up to par like the rest of them. I recently rented Yogi Bear 3d and was pleasantly surprised by the content.Plot: Jellystone Park is going broke. The mayor comes to tell Ranger Smith that he has a week to raise $20,000 or Jellystone will be shut down. Yogi Bear is a local followed by Boo-Boo. Can they save Jellystone Park in time.Characters/Acting: The highlight of this movie is of course the one and only Yogi Bear. He makes us laugh and also sympathise with him at the same time which is great in a movie. Boo-Boo is also good and some other actors who I won't mention but did an alright job. They weren't bad but they weren't the best they could be The 3D: The 3d is surprisingly good for a kids movie. Well, get yourself a 3d TV and Yogi Bear on 3d bluray. You won't regret it.Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Yogi Bear and will probably watch it again seeing I've rented it for a week

Aaron McAllister Now I'm no stranger to Hanna Barbera cartoons but Yogi Bear is unfamiliar to me. But what I do know is it's about two talking bears that steal picnic baskets,which you barely get that in this film.Now the film begins with Yogi and Booboo voiced by Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake, who do a good job with the voices. For the first ten minutes, but then the film quickly goes downhill from there. We meet Ranger Smith who has a personality of sandpaper, and Ranger Jones who I'm positive was written with a twelve year old in mind. This character is just an enthusiastic boy scout and since he is played by an adult, makes him pretty creepy. We then meet Rachel an aspiring film director who wants to make a documentary on the park. Smith who instantly has the hots for her, most likely because she is the first girl he has managed to talk to, allows her to film.But there's one problem the Mayor of the city is planning to sell the park to industrialists to make up the money the park looses. So the rangers and the girl have a week to get people to visit the park or else it will be destroyed. So how do they do this? they promise fireworks, yes fireworks. Let's just forget about the two talking walking bears, because thats not the least bit amazing. So anyway the fireworks work, but the Mayor tricks Ranger Jones into thinking if he sabotages the event he will make him head ranger of the park. And because the character is a complete idiot he falls for it, so he tells Yogi to Smith needs Yogi's help and of course he ruins the event.Now what happens next really shows how bland of a character Smith is as he looses the park, but Rachel comforts him by saying he still has her. Now what does he do, he rejects her because, he's an idiot. Anyway Yogi and BooBoo go to the city and get him back, and I would like to point out that nobody is fazed by walking talking bears, I would have thought someone would notice. And before anyone says talking animals exist in this world, I will point out I haven't seen any other talking animal apart from these two. Anyway they bring Smith back, as they find out that BooBoo's pet turtle is in fact an endangered frog mouthed turtle, and since it's endangered by law it's natural habitat can't be destroyed. So as everyone is racing to get it all I'm thinking about is why the turtle can't talk? To wrap the story up they get the turtle expose the Mayor and all live happily ever after. Now the story barely focuses on the bears, but instead focuses on saving the forest, now that isn't a bad message but when you try your best to force it into the audiences head, they will not respond well. But apart from the painfully forced message, the story is just dull.Now lets look at the film from a technical stand point. When the film focuses on the bears, the CGI looks impressive, but when the actors have to interact with them, the quality quickly drops, with providing some of the worst green screens, I have ever seen. Painted backgrounds from the 30s looked more realistic.Now I know I wasn't the intended audience for the film, it's obviously aimed at kids. But I find it very hard that kids would be entertained by this, I know kids are more easily entertained but you still have to put effort in making your film. Like I said Aykroyd and Timberlake do a good job with their voices, and the film did trick me in thinking it was narrated by Morgan Freeman, but was in fact narrated by actor Josh Robert Tompson. At first this deception annoyed me, but then I realised that it shows the talents of talented impressionist. So with all said and considered I give Yogi Bear 2/10.Thanks for reading.
