This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Confused movie that could have been really fun but it seemed unsure on thier target audience. Not for young kids. One minute they are having a gag sequence on farts and the next they are talking about two scorpions mating on a person's head. It could have been good if they hadn't gone slapstick. Didnt appreciate the animated sequence where the adult takes off his clothes because of some plant pollen and you see his bare buttocks. Totally unnecessary. Not the dora you watched with your preschooler. Felt like in some places it was a total spoof film and other places it had potential as an action film. Really glad I saw it before my cousin took her 4year old to see it. It was a disappointment.… Expand

If you want to go see a movie you can make fun of with your friends, Dora and the lost city of gold is where it's at. This movie is so messy that it's laughable!

This movie is so messy that it's laughable! Who honestly thought that portraying Dora as a teenager would be a good idea? It has a dumb script, scenes that don't make sense and cheap humor mainly aimed towards little kids..... honestly, very boring and not something I would spend 1.5 hours on. But again if there's nothing else to watch and you just want to make fun of it, it has a lot of material to choose from… Expand

It's one thing to slip in jokes only adults will get, as in Jim Carrey's Grinch movie. It's another thing to slip in cynicism and events that will create awkward moments between parent and child at the movies.

It's another thing to slip in cynicism and events that will create awkward moments between parent and child at the movies. The woman cast as Dora is as perfect as a real person can be in the role. However, the story at times edges from sincerity into mocking the character, as when she comes across a plant with a long scientific name and says to the camera, "Can you say [insert long unintelligible scientific word with about 20 syllables here]," clearly intending to mock the cartoon Dora who teaches kids new words.

My almost-5-year-old daughter loves the cartoon, and the movie was heavily promoted during the cartoon show on TV, so of course I assumed the movie would be for the same age bracket. It is not. It is full of poop and fart jokes. It also left me having to explain to my daughter what hallucinogenic drugs are and "why that man took his clothes off." Not to mention the concept of 'mating' which I had planned to introduce my daughter to at a later age. The story itself, once you remove these unfortunate bits, is just OK.

In short, not appropriate for the littlest kids, i.e. those who likely most enjoy the TV show. A bit snarky and cynical with a Dora who seems perfect except that they made her such an intense pollyanna the mocking is unmistakable.

Also could have done without the woke interpretation of Moby Dick as "appropriating indigenous blah blah blah." I had thought it was about a man obsessed with a whale.… Expand

Si sigo viendo y reseñando este tipo de películas me van a tomar como un espectador muy exigente y odioso. Dora me deja resignado y, al mismo tiempo, reflexivo en ciertos aspectos. Quitemos la escarcha: Las actuaciones son muy malas e invisibles, la narrativa aspira a ser un episodio extendido de cualquier programa de Nickelodeon con síntomas de que será cancelado, la música también es invisible y los efectos especiales son de bajo presupuesto. Sin embargo (con cierto énfasis para cuidar mi imagen propia y no convertirme en el Comic Guy de los Simpsons), el film mantiene un animo alegre y positivo que cualquier razón de molestarse por pagar para ver un episodio de relleno de Dora La Exploradora en el cine se resbala fácilmente. A lo que me refiero es que a pesar de lo idiota del personaje de Nicholas Coombe, lo pesimista de Jeff Wahlberg, lo inmadura de Madeleine Madden y lo molesto de Eugenio Derbez todo es bien mediado por la ingenua pero positiva chispa de Isabela Moner. No, su actuación no es mejor que la de los demás, pero carga con un personaje escrito justo para anclar al público. Por lo tanto los acompañantes de Dora tienen tan poco incentivo que el positivismo y cosmovisión de ella es suficiente para entretener a los niños sin hacer molestar a los adultos. Es prácticamente lo único que puedo rescatar. También quiero dar una mención honorífica a la escenografía, por ser dinámica y "realista", sin embargo lo que admiro es la capacidad del estudio en recrear un ambiente así de grande y no la calidad de la producción. En fin. Dora no es nada que los niños no puedan ver en la televisión o en sus tabletas y nada que los adultos vayan a disfrutar plenamente, pero los niños se la pasarán bien y los adultos no la sufrirán mucho.

If I keep watching and reviewing this kind of films, people are going to take me as a very demanding and hating spectator. Dora leaves me with resignation and, at the same time, reflexive in some aspects. Let's take off the frost: The acting is very bad and invisible, the narrative aspires to be an extended episode of any Nickelodeon program with symptoms of a future canceling, the music is also invisible, and the special effects are low budget. Nevertheless (stressing enough to take care of my self-image and not becoming the "Comic Guy" of The Simpsons), the film manages to keep a happy and up-beat soul that any reason of getting mad for paying to watch a filling episode of "Dora The Explorer" in the cinema slips easily. What I mean is that it doesn't matter how idiot is the character of Nicholas Coombe, how pessimistic is Jeff Wahlberg, how immature is Madeleine Madden and how annoying Eugenio Derbez is, all is well balanced by the naive but positive sparkle of Isabela Moner. No. Her acting is not better than the other ones but she carries a character written just for holding the public. Therefore, since Dora's friends have so few incentives, her positivism and worldview are enough to entertain kids without bothering grown-ups. It's practically the only thing that I can rescue. I also want to give an honorific mention to the scenery, for being dynamic and "realistic", however, what I admire is the ability of the studio to create an environment that big, and not precisely the quality of the production. Any way. Dora is noting that kids can't see on the TV or in their tablets and nothing that grown-ups will enjoy fully, but kids will have a good time and grown-ups won't suffer it too much.… Expand

It just straight up from CollegeHumour's idea! And where's the nostalgic songs, and all of that stuff. It's just basically a Lara Croft riftoff.

All I could think of was how sexualised and overgrown Dora was. That combination is kind of gross.
