Old characters are brought to life in this live-action but it feels... lifeless! Some minor changes but really nothing new added to the story. The CGI looked good in some parts but terrible in others. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth does a good job as Pinocchio's voice but the highlight for me was Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket (although his CGI model looked lazy and weird). Some of the dialogue was awful! Overall this remake really lacks heart, originality and feels unnecessary. I would definitely rewatch the original instead. Fingers crossed for del Toro's version!

Half way through. I'm loving it. I have special memories to Pinocchio. When I was a little kid my big brother heard me crying in bed cause I got afraid of death. Never before did he show me he cared for me and even though he was only 13 (I was 6) he came into my room and calmed me down by telling a story about Pinocchio. It's my earliest memory. And this just brings it all back. Now I get to watch this with my 8 year old and she's mesmerised. I don't care what anybody says, this is magic.

Another pointless Disney live action remake. It has its moments but it really needed an extra sprinkle of the Blue Fairy's magic.

why tf does the blue fairy look like that

Go and watch the 1940 original instead.

Butchered the source material. Another piece of Western heritage mocked and ruined. At this point it would be embarrassing if the nefarious element behind what’s going on wasn’t so blatantly obvious.

I could go on and on about how story elements and crucial symbology are left out for no reason, how superfluous elements and characters have been added, again for no reason, but there’s no need to deeply analyse these things.

Go and watch the 1940 original instead.

creepiest movie released in 2022...

What the hell happened to the fairy?

She was beautiful in the original and now she is Skunk Anansie...

i don't think i enjoyed a single second of this movie
pinocchio didn't learn life lessons
jiminy cricket as the concious was absolutely useless in this movie and did absolutely nothing
the whale was a FUCKING KRAKEN
pinocchio as a boy in the end was nightmare fuel
and i guess the blue fairy animation must have cost too much because they used mystical blue light in the end instead of just having her change pinocchio

Forget all the negative reviews. This was an enjoyable movie, that moved along in a good pace. Good acting from all the live actors, with Tom Hanks shining as Geppeto. The CGI wasn't the best, but it was good. The sign of a good movie is when it brings a joyful tear to your eye. So enjoy and "Wish upon a Star".

Casting Tom Hanks as g'pedo is g'enius. [Spoiler]I wonder if we will see Pinocchio's shoes on Tom's Twitter, or is that only for _real boys_?[/spoiler]

Was waiting very eagerly to watch this but after watching the trailer got really disappointed.

From original Collodi's book chapter 15:
"“In desperation, since knocking wasn’t working, he began to kick the door and bang his head against it. Then a beautiful girl came to the window, her hair sky-blue, her face white as a waxen image.”
This is the description of the Blue Fairy.

Many think the original material is the 1940's Disney animation but it's not. The author is Carlo Collodi and published the novel between 1881 and 1882 with the title "The story of a puppet".

I hate it when they feel to need to subvert the original written material to be inclusive.
Very sorry about it but for me it will be a pass.

Please avoid commenting about me being racist. I am not and if you read what I have written you'll understand it's not about that.

I had more enjoyment reading the terrible reviews ripping this movie to pieces than the actual movie.

This is the definition of a soulless corporate film.

I'm not done conversing!!
Undoubtedly it has good effects, but it doesn't have that hook of the movies from before Disney, I don't know if they have lost that touch of their movies but it's from Pinocchio.
It's like watching a Pinocchio X movie I think they've lost the touch :thinking:.

Blue fairy pure woke garbage.

Writing this review as a 27 year old. This movie is magical. Your kids will love it just like I did back in the day.
Hearing the lyrics of Disney's theme song never gets old.

Disney needs to stop. Please.

that's so bad. what a bad CGI

Easily Tom Hank's worst movie.

Hoping the del Toro version is much, much better.

Visually stunning, although the story was very confused and mixed up. Several of the actors accents disappeared half way through. His nose only grew once and he didn’t become a real boy (which is the whole point of the movie). Kids will still enjoy it just fine and pleasure island and the whale were a sight to behold.

[spoiler]why they did not made pinochhio boy at the end[/spoiler] this is trash !
