Review of Pete's Dragon (2016) by Jim222001 — 14 Oct 2016

Pete's Dragon is a touching and sentimental family film everyone can enjoy. It has it's slow points but I was mostly moved by the film throughout with tears constantly running down my face lol.

With a mostly lackluster summer, Pete's Dragon was a real surprise. The performances were pretty solid and you can't help but love this take on Elliot. Despite being big and green, he is a lot like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon personality wise. But is just as likeable.

It's just unfortunate that the film is another Box Office dud of the summer when Pete's Dragon is one of the best of this summer. I think after the Jungle Book and Tarzan, audiences were tired of boys raised in the jungle movies this year. However, despite not much feeling fresh I think the film is a must see.
