COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Remake submitted by charlottedebaltzo on June 20, 2017, 10:53am I liked this movie and I think Disney did a good job adding to the story a little bit. I enjoyed watching it and like it a little better than the original!

Good submitted by DL on June 21, 2017, 3:19pm I like this version better than the animation version.

Fun family movie submitted by rbseemail on June 23, 2017, 6:52am This is a fun family movie.

Great submitted by yenkong on July 17, 2017, 8:46pm Great family movie.

Love it! submitted by Xris on June 16, 2018, 8:09pm I loved the original, and still do, but this is even better!

Look with More than your Eyes submitted by gem on July 25, 2018, 4:28pm To some this movie may seem contrived, but I thought it was a strong case for true love and how love causes a person to act to benefit the one loved. Watchers will see this played out in several scenarios in this 'kid's' film.

This is a family friendly show, but I think adults will be able to see a lot more themes and interactions than the kids would necessarily perceive.

I thought the flying shots and the movement of the dragon was fairly believable. After awhile into the movie, however, it no longer mattered because the story had caught me up into its wings and I was committed to the ride.

No spoiler here. However, there are several very tense moments that may just have you at the edge of your seat.
Remember: To one who looks, there is always more to see than what meets the eye.

Pete's Dragon submitted by SBNB on August 17, 2018, 3:20pm I watched this movie a while ago and I probably won't watch it again. It was entertaining enough, I suppose.

ok submitted by kbahleda on August 22, 2018, 11:23am Ok movie....they did a good job adding to the story line and making it more modern.

Remarkable submitted by lstorc on August 30, 2018, 3:22pm This was a fantastic adaptation! It is a definite tearjerker, with incredible acting and special effects!

Petes dragon submitted by avrogers1 on June 15, 2021, 10:10pm This is a "remake' but it holds its own as a film and creates a new generational love for pete. Its really well and done and so difderent from the original thats its a very different story and I'm here for it.
