Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

One of my earliest movie memories was seeing Pete's Dragon on the big screen (my second big film in a theater, Jaws being the first) at Radio City Music Hall no less w/the Rockettes. It'd probably make for the mother of all screenings but that wasn't the case. Even at the age of eight, I knew Pete's Dragon was just a'ight. So fast forward more than 35 years & now a film w/same title comes out & I feel strangely unresponsive. They can only go up w/a new adaptation so why am I not more excited than I should be. After watching it, I can see why this film didn't leave a mark the way you'd think the mouse house would. Disney is raiding their animated back catalogue & keep coming up aces w/their live action remakes (I can't wait for the Song of the South remake...Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Remus, anyone?). So by telling a tale that is both whimsical & a critique of non-environmentalism, what are we left with but an earnest yarn that goes nowhere. Not even the new tunes improve things much. At this point, I would think so far out of the box that the result would definitely raise an eyebrow. Give Terence Malick a tenth of this remake's budget & let him go to town...I'm there.

A story about a lost orphaned boy who befriends a magical dragon. But really it's a story about loneliness. The rest of civilisation, who find the boy six years later, think the boy is lonely, missing his family, but he's made a family with the dragon, whom he calls Elliot. But Elliot needs Pete just as much as Pete needs Elliot, both were orphaned and lonely, and need each other to survive. But the dragon was the loneliest of all the characters because it had never met another of its species.Unfortunately some thought the dragon was a monster, that needed to tamed, captured and exploited, when in reality the dragon was a rare endangered species that needed protecting and preserving, and to with its own kind.A wonderful children's story and definitely worth watching as a film.

The good ol' mythical beast and a boy story, except mythical beast is boring, the boy is boring and literally nothing happens through out the movie.For a movie that starts off with "What does adventure mean?" there's very little adventure. It feels like a satire with neverending queue of "ave" and "inspiration" moments.What a waste, how do you even make movie with dragons in it so boring?

I am not a fantasy fan, but give a chance to every movie I watch. It definitely worth watching, because it's stunningly filmed and heart touching. But I upvoted some negative reviews here, because they have a point. Dragon's theme isn't disclosed. Almost no action for 100 minutes. Emotions is a good thing, but you can't build the whole movie on heart touching moments. The last thing that cost that film a star for me: who the hell will choose people when you could spend your entire life with a dragon?
