Pete's Dragon (2016) Movie Review

Pete's Dragon (2016) Review


Disney continues it's winning streak of successful live-action adaptations alongside Cinderella and The Jungle Book. In this case the original movie was not a good experience both visual and emotional plus it didn't have any entertainment whatsoever. Simply put it was boring and the way they created the dragon was just plane bad. I understand the technology was not what is today but you can do better than putting a cartoon in a live-action movie. Mary Poppins came out in '64 and the penguins in that famous scene war better that the dragon in the '77 original. Enough of that, let's discuss this movie. The visuals are, understandably, a lot more better than the original, we have some good scenes that contain both tension and emotion. The story is not a new one because we had some other movies with the same story: animal befriends a boy/human, other humans find out and they attack and try to capture the creature, it's pacing is slow, there is an array of charm and soulful emotions but overall, for me, it's a bit of a letdown. Hey, I love this types of movies but this did not deliver like I hoped it will.7/10
