Review of Mighty Joe Young (1998) by Steve Persall for Tampa Bay Times — 24 Apr 2007
Paxton, as always, is thoroughly engaging, and Theron is coming into her own as an actress, but the bottom line here is that the film lacks the original's goofy good humor. Less effects and more humanity are in order before this remake can even get within spitting distance of the original.
