An enjoyable family film. Advice to critics? Don't get all deep and it won't disappoint.

I am not a fantasy fan, but give a chance to every movie I watch. It definitely worth watching, because it's stunningly filmed and heart touching. But I upvoted some negative reviews here, because they have a point. Dragon's theme isn't disclosed. Almost no action for 100 minutes. Emotions is a good thing, but you can't build the whole movie on heart touching moments. The last thing that cost that film a star for me: who the hell will choose people when you could spend your entire life with a dragon?

Try not to spoil it but its a brilliant film. It has a bit of resemblance to the 70's film only this takes place in the 1980's. Its got some very good characters, the CGI was done just as well as Jungle Book 2016. There is not much songs compared to the old version which is a little sad, however its got a very emotional and fun side to it all. I recommend buying this and watching. It really is a good film and its plot it good. There are also some funny scenes which even made me laugh. The plot was also very good.

With a heartbreaking intro, this movie begins strong both visually and thematically. There is some heart to a story of an orphan and his dragon but a lot of the 'plotty' things really get in the way. You can probably guess this isn't a story about how Pete lived in the woods with a dragon and no one bothered them, the end.There are some nice visuals here and there but I found the parts in the woods to look really drab and colour graded to an ugly green. Elliot the dragon looked pretty good and they managed more emotion in his face than Okja.The bad guy part of the story doesn't even try to give him motivations. He's just there because he wants to capture a dragon and act mad/scared all the time.Overall nothing awful here but also nothing to make it stand out as a compelling kid's movie.
