The adventures of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon.
When I knew this is a remake movie I feel very curious about this film and wanted to watch this movie. Talented cast also makes a good hype watch this movie. Though the name of the movie is a little bit confusing and also misleading but the attempt and the director's effort really appraisable. If anyone saw the trailer, must be thought it is a typical routine adventure movie and maybe will compare this movie with Narnia and Eragon but ultimately this is not that type of movie and the storyline is completely different. Sometimes the plot maybe over the top and over fantasized. But if you are searching for a good family film this must be a fair choice for you.
I didn't watch the original film but I heard about the film. That is why I am not going to compare these two film. Maybe the original movie is better than this but I can surely tell you this is a good attempt and a worth watching. There are lots of good movies released this summer but this must be a good choice and a well-made movie.
A very talented cast are appointed in this movie. Robert Redford, Bryce Dallas, and Karl Urban has done a very good job and Oakes Fegley also judged fairly to his role. The direction is good, the attempt of trying a good movie is also very good but this could have been better by creating some good suspense and made the pace faster. The Dragon is also well made CGI and almost realistic for the plot. One of the most negative things about this movie is the plot is very predictable. The emotional scene and bits also not well made and very predictable. Sometimes you will feel the plot is over fantasize and unoriginal which are also big mistakes for the director and example of poor writing of the screenplay.
If you want to watch an adventure movie which has not a typical storyline you can watch this movie and I believe This will meet your expectation almost 60%-70%. Enjoy the movie.
