Hey now! The original "Pete's Dragon" is a decent classic, albeit not an animated one!

Can't agree there. It's 70's Disney at it most mediocre. The recent version was a lot,lot better.

One of the problems with Disney in the 70's is they kept on trying for another Mary Poppins..and always failing.

For Guy Ritchie that is delivering. It’s all about context.

You know Guy Ritchie directed right?

 

For him this is universal acclaim

He's directed 4 films with a higher RT, 3 with a lower, and two with an equivalent RT.

 

For him, this is middle of the pack.

[Rorschach]

I've only seen 4 of the live-action remakes. If I had to rank them...

 

1. The Jungle Book - 6/10

2. Beauty and the Beast - 4/10

3. Maleficent - 3/10

4. Alice in Wonderland - 2/10

 

So far, I haven't really been impressed with any of them.

Saw it this afternoon. It’s really good. 

Sure I had issues, especially that blue genie CGI which is terrible in places, but I really was swept up and had a great time. 

 

The main reason it all works so surprisingly well is Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott. They’re dynamite together and she is brilliant in this. Literally a star is born. 

 

Musical numbers are fine and deliver. 

 

I think audiences are going to love it.  Much preferred it to BatB personally.

I've seen all of those except for Alice, but I've also seen Cinderella. If I had to rank them...

1) Cinderella

2) The Jungle Book

3) Beauty and the Beast

4) Maleficent

 

I enjoyed Cinderella. The rest... not as much, though the other 3 have their moments.

Cinderella isn't one of my favorite Disney animated films but I've heard a lot of good things about the remake so I'm willing to go into it fairly open-minded. Same with Pete's Dragon. 

[KJsooner]

I freaking loved Cinderella! Kenneth Branagh did such a great job with that one! The musical score, the sets, the art direction, I could type all the day!

 

I also enjoyed Pete’s dragon quite a bit. Others were kinda meh to me.

 

Cinderella -9/10

Pete’s dragon-8/10

Batb 6/10

The Jungle Book 6/10

Maleficent 5/10

[AJG]

Cinderella - Boring

 

Jungle Book - less boring

 

BatB - Boring 

 

Alice 1 - more boring

 

Maleficent - OK

Any thoughts on this Jungle Book?

 

and this Cinderella?

 

[lorddemaxus]

My ratings of the Disney remakes I've seen:

 

Pete's Dragon : 8/10

 

The Jungle Book: 6/10

 

Beauty and the Beast: Couldn't finish it

 

Mary Poppins Returns (not sure if this counts as a remake): Couldn't finish it. To be more exact I stopped at the Meryl Streep scene.

 

I want to make it clear that I almost always finish any movie I see past the first 10 minutes (I usually only stop around the first 10 minutes if I'm not feeling like watching any movie suddenly or find out I'm too busy). BatB and Mary Poppins Returns are the only two movies in the past two years that I've not finished.

You guys are legally IMPAIRED!

 

You should be given a state pension to reimburse you for the fact that you are ILL and can not enjoy one of the most enjoyable things in this world: feel-good movies.

 

Maybe that will make you visit this forum LESS often, to vent your frustration-fueled HATE. Because that is what you do here, don't you - especially visible in good movies threads like this and Alita's.

 

God knows I understand you. If I was sick and disabled - which I AM, physically!, since an incurable illness started destroying my body three years ago - I would probably bitch and moan and hate on the things I can not have too.

 

But I still feel sorry for you.

saw it today and i loved it. honestly will is really great? the film drags a bit without him.

 

naomi scott is wonderful and mena massoud is pretty good too, especially at the comic parts. there’s a dancing part where the genie controls him which is a bit of genius physical comedy. and i actually think the love story is much better in this version than in the animated version. they give them a couple more scenes together and it really makes a difference. the two of them are very sweet together.

 

guy ritchie is the one who lets everyone down. he has no idea how to shoot a musical number and there’s so much weird, abrupt cutting and editing.

I think many people are going to be surprised by the Thursday preview numbers. Lots of seats reserved in shows around where I am (Houston). Some are nearly full and many are at least half full. I will be shocked if the preview number is less than $5 million tbqh.

[TServo2049]

I remember liking Stephen Sommers’ Jungle Book. Haven’t watched it in years, but I saw it in the theater and I think again on pay cable once.

 

I never watched the Brandy/Whitney version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, but I remember seeing the ads constantly when it was released on video.

I don’t think anyone on here is expecting a preview number below $6-7M let alone $5M
