Better Than Many Reviews Are Saying
1 May 2023
I truly don't understand why this film is being excoriated the way it is.

Maybe slightly politically correct but nowhere near the drivel that most films updated to be PC are.

One reviewer said "updated without over correcting" and I think that's pretty accurate.

Well acted and well directed. Nice visual effects and some heart to the story.

Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but quite good and definitely better than some other adaptations in the past 20 years or so....

The director also made the Pete's Dragon adaptation a few years back that is drastically underrated.

Watch this and you'll see that it's very enjoyable.
