Bizarre at times, frightening at others, and just boring the rest of the time. The CGI wasn't done in any kind of realistic way, so it just looks like live action characters pasted into an animated world.

Pinocchio himself is just kind of there while the events happen to him, rather than actively partaking in it. It's just simply not a good movie.… Expand

Disney still uses the original movie's signature song as part of its brand image. The 1940 film defined the Disney spirit. Apparently, though, this doesn't rescue it from being another tired, exploitative tentpole for modern Disney.

TheDisney still uses the original movie's signature song as part of its brand image. The 1940 film defined the Disney spirit. Apparently, though, this doesn't rescue it from being another tired, exploitative tentpole for modern Disney.

The movie is at its best when it makes some small tweak or addition to the original film. It's okay when we get to watch an enthusiastic performance or a pretty CGI spectacle. It's lame when it tries to be modern, like one of many forced cameos, terrible popculture references, or baffling new elements that go completely unexplained.

It falls apart when you realize Pinocchio has gone from a precocious but easily distracted little kid, to a bland chatterbox that mostly states what is happening, repeats back what other characters have said to him as a question, and then says what he ought to have done instead of what he actually does. He usually gets into trouble by random chance, rather than any action he takes. He's gone from a flawed bit lovable hero, to a bland reciter of exposition.

Overall: the performances range from fun to irritating, it's quite pretty when it's not distractingly fake, the titular character is now a boring twit that lets the plot happen to him, and overall, it feels like a movie that has no idea why its 82-year-old progenitor was such a classic.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is easily the worst adaptation of Disney's Pinocchio. The Blue fairy being bald made no sense (is this really a spoiler?) - the extra scenes not from the original were okay and well done however the ending was a disservice to the lore of the Disney original.… Expand

La película no es perfecta pero si te hace pasar un buen rato, lo único que me molesto fue la inclusión forzada de la latina y el hada. lo bueno es que su participación es muy poca.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Qué tal la película? Bien, para pasar el rato.
¿Efectos? Algunos mejores que otros, pero va.
¿Es igual a la original? Casi, con algún que otro cambio en la historia y los personajes. Te muestra algunas cosas que la película original no tiene y eso no está mal. Uno de los pocos problemas, es la duración, se me hizo pesada. Más que nada por qué es un producto que se vio con anterioridad.
¿Tom Hanks? Bien, no es un papel en que se haya tenido que esforzar demasiado.
¿La vería otra vez? No, para eso miraría la original, es mejor y los dibujos son hermosos.
¿El hada? Ble, menos protagonismo que el hada de la película original.
¿Es necesario este live-Action? No, pero como muchos de los live-action anteriores, Disney espera conseguir una muy buena recaudación.… Expand

Unfortunately for this release, it faces the same problem that all of Disney's live-action adaptations have faced, and that problem is going up against superior versions, because so far most of them have failed to capture the magic of the animated films, and Pinocchio fails miserably in that regard as well.
I even think Tom Hanks was a poor casting choice to play Geppetto. Admittedly, I'm putting unfair weight on this film, but there being a better version of the same project, I must say that, while the 1940 Disney film may seem dated to new viewers, it's far more effective than this weak remake. This movie means condoning creative laziness, and its release on Disney+ is proof enough of that. And it's also very sad to see how Robert Zemeckis is closing his career.… Expand

Tom Hanks wearing makeup like Manfredi and Battiston in the role of Mangiafuoco (oops: "Stromboli") are the only almost two concessions to the Comencini of '72. For the rest, it is difficult to recognize that it is Collodi's novel: a real reboot, blackwashed and set in Wakanda. It wouldn't be a problem if the conspicuous changes made added pathos instead of deleting it.… Expand

Anyway compared to recent Disney content I am surprisingly less angry about this one, but that doesn't mean Disney is exempt from pushing out a chopped up and dumbed-down version of Pinocchio.

Let's begin, this film is dumped down, stripped apart and a lesser version of the original. The CGI is uncanny, the scenes have been swapped mixed and altered into this unrecognizable story.

The characters in this film were purposely swapped or taken out and do not match the time period in which they are in, there are scenes in this film that do not matter or push forward the plot.

And as mentioned before the flow of the scenes has been stripped apart. eg. remember when Pinocchio is going to school, yeah he was never supposed to make it in the first place, he was meant to be constantly influenced about becoming famous and making his father proud, by Honest John and his companion. Here it's completely unfocused, he makes it but is kicked out because the plot demanded it so.

But why am I rating it higher than usual, it's because it tried to do something different, that's not bad, besides the race swapping of course, but it tried.

Overall it's still not a good satisfying watch, it's half as good as the original, so it's a 4/10. It's watchable, not enjoyable, not complete, not source accurate, just plain watchable.… Expand
