Review of Pinocchio

Pinocchio (I) (2022)
1/10
This is the worst of all the remakes.
9 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Pinocchio repeats so many of the issues of the other awful remakes (just a rehash, shot for shot redo of the original with barely anything new and what they do change is made worse and questionable), but also suffers from god awful effects (150 million dollars to effects from 2004), a cast that is either bored (Cynthia Erivo and Luke evans) or just bad imitations (Tom hanks and Joseph Gordon-levitt), an insult of an ending (the whole point of the story being that Pinocchio himself becomes brave and sacrifices himself and then becomes a real boy, all of that is completely cut for an ambiguous ending that fails due to an abrupt feeling and bad narration from jimminy that felt like he didn't want to say it so he just got it over with as soon as possible), awful jokes that don't fit, and Robert zemekis thinking he is impressing us when really he is just self indulgent with his bad filmmaking. If I wished a star, I wished Disney stopped making these remakes because they just keep getting worse, and this to me is the bottom of that already crap laced barrel.
