Review of Dumbo (2019) by Spongeswift — 30 Mar 2019

It's about time we stop judging remakes based on their original counterparts... Disney's new Dumbo recreation is not only a technological marvel, it's a precious tale with heart and deep elements. The message of the original film still has failed to been heard and many horrible acts of torture exist on earth.

This is why I was not mad about the plot pretty much being the same as it's animated counterpart. Anyways let's judge the actual movie for what it is. The film began pretty poorly to me, it's lousy editing and slow start discouraged me but that first flight gave me chills.

The way they treated Dumbo's mom made my blood boil which means they really put shrill and real life elements into this flik. Danny Devito (Max Medici) and Nico Parker (Milly Farrier) were huge standouts to me.

The heart and devotion they put into their characters was undeniable. Most of the other actors did amazing as well. It was hard to imagine them pulling off the dialogue as the original doesn't have much of it, but they do.

But the third act is where the movie really peaked. I couldn't take my eyes away. It was so magnificent but horrifying at the same time. Overall this movie was good, the first 2 lousy acts were made up for with a magnificent finale.
