Incredibly is Isabela Moner - Whom I found quite annoying in ''Instant Family'', '' Sicario: Day of the Soldier'' and ''Transformers: The Last Knight'' - Who becomes the most interesting revelation of this film.

I honestly had no expectations and I have a hard time believing that someone would expect more than what it's shown.
After all, it's still a Nickelodeon kid's film focused solely on those sectors: Kids, families, Dora fans and fans of the channel.
It's not like the live action character was going to become a kind of teenage Lara Croft. C'mon, let's be real.

Depending on your own cynicism and interest it's how you will find some relevancy in this film. Otherwise I think it's quite obvious that you know very well where you're getting yourself into.

This is an average kids movie. That's about it. There isn't much I can say that could convince you to see it.

Seriously, what is going on here? Why is Dora so drastically different from everyone else, including her parents, who are two seemingly normal human beings? Why would you even bother entertaining the notion that all of the television adventures we've seen over the years are fantasies, when you have an actual, anthropomorphic Swiper The Fox existing in what we're supposed to believe is "the real world?" Why does everyone view Dora with such disdain and derision but treat the talking fox and blue and yellow monkey as just naturally occurring elements in existence itself? What is going on? They're clearly trying at some sort of parodic treatment of the material, yes, but they're also implementing some elements of the show unironically, ultimately making it feel like a soulless hodgepodge of ideas you've seen done better and more consistently in movies like "The Brady Bunch Movie" and "Christopher Robin," two very different movies with very distinct rules in play for their respective worlds. This movie wants to do all of the above and it's simply asinine. One of the more excruciating testaments to the power of having a singular vision in the writer's room. Expand

Weird
This film is definitely something, The thought of a Dora movie is laughably bad, The film itself is mediocre, But it is still a pretty weird film.

In effort to bring Dora into a more realistic world free from things like talking backpacks, this live-action update establishes that all of the events from the TV show were imagined by the protagonist and her cousin Diego when they played pretend together as children, and proceeds to make fun of its animated counterpart from that point on. An idea that almost works. At least until the film breaks its own reality by including an anthropomorphic fox in a mask. A fox we are clearly shown Dora and Diego imagining at the start of the movie. Yet neither of them even react in the slightest to seeing it stand before them in the flesh. Or that he's talking. Which is messy to say the least.

The humor is very hit or miss. Things are at their most consistently humorous and entertaining when Dora goes to the city after years spent living in the jungle and has to navigate the intricacies of highschool. This is where I wish the movie had stayed as it was really on to something there. Unfortunately, it takes it takes a bizarre left turn and we end up back in the jungle on some sort of Indiana Jones-esque adventure where we are then ferried from one tonally incoherent setpiece to next and it seems like the movie loses all grip on what it wants to be before culminating in one of the most poorly choreographed musical numbers I've ever seen.

It's definitely a cute film, but the vision behind it seems so muddled and even self-contradictory that all I feel is confusion and disdain. Little kids on the other hand are likely going to love this for all of its silly humor. I'd challenge those youngsters to revisit it in a few years though, as I doubt that they'll find much value in it when they're older.

"Dora and the Lost City of Gold" is a breezy and entertaining live-action adaption of "Dora" that is suitable for younger audience.

Is it just me or does every time a character says "Pa-Ra-Pa-Ta", it sounds like "Bah-dup-bup".

Not great, but surprisingly not bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dora the Explorer doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Throughout the movie Dora is developed to be the cartoon character, but in real life, a fun take on the character, especially when she turns to the audience and asks them to spell out a word. Showing this character get to grips with high school was very funny and interesting. But then they start changing what they want it to be. Love plots appear out of nowhere, with Dora's cousin Diego falling in love with stuck-up top of the class girl stereotype, and one other strange one with nerd boy stereotype falling in love with Dora, but nothing ever actually happens because of this, all the cast seem to ignore it. They try to make the film funny, and succeed some of the time, but then also try and force morals down the audience's throats. The cast is brilliant, Isabela Moner captures Dora's constant upbeat attitude perfectly, and Diego becoming a regular teenager is very well done. Dora's dad is played by Michael Pena, who I think the makers of the film saw being funny in Ant-Man and other films so cast him and left big holes in the script that probably said "MICHAEL DOES FUNNY THING HERE". Because of this, he's wasted on a really unfunny joke where he explains what rave music is to Dora. I think with a clearer idea/plan and some slightly better writers, Dora could make for a really good movie. Expand

Después de todo no se podía esperar demasiado de una serie animaba para niños. Si bien la premisa principal es fiel en toda la película, no podemos evitar sorprendernos por una o dos escenas que nos toman por sorpresa. Entrega unas cuantas bromas gastadas que a fin de cuentas causan gracia pero no podemos evitar pensar que podría ser mejor. El largometraje está pensado para una audiencia específica y para todo aquel que quiera recordar y ser transportado a su niñez por esta racha de “remakes, spin offs, adaptaciones” a falta de ideas innovadoras en la industria del cine y que sólo tiene el objetivo de recaudar más dinero. A fin de cuentas, se puede disfrutar con toda la familia un fin de semana si nada que hacer. PUNTAJE: 63/100

It's a decent movie with a little bit of passable humor sprinkled in. It's a meh movie.

Pero al menos Isabella Monett, hace una buena actuación de Dora, eligieron a la actriz perfecta para ese papel, por otro lado el cgi, se ve cuestionable y la escena inicial, se nota muchisimo que no está terminada, de hecho se nota que fue hecha en pantalla verde, pero dejando de lado sus defectos, al menos la pelicula si es disfrutable y sirve para pasar un rato, si no te gusta, pues no me puedo quejar.
