Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Hammer Time ...or Pete's Dragon. It's nowhere near that high calibre of movie.I really didn't know what to expect before I started watching this movie. At the beginning, the movie had the look and feel of E.T. But that soon disappeared the moment the main characters "Jake" and his brother "Mike" started acting.Although some of the kids can actually act. One in particular - "Max" - not only can act, but is funny.The way the military carry out their manoeuvres and act is about as convincing as the quality - or lack-thereof - of the CGI of the dinosaurs found in the movie.The movie is supposed to be set in a small town in the USA. But I immediately noticed the houses and streets etc in the movie looked very much like houses found in Australia - which is where I'm from. I then looked at IMDb.com which confirmed this movie was shot in Australia. They didn't even bother using a left-hand drive version of the white van used in the movie - Australia is a right-hand drive country. But at least they got the American accent right. Or did they? So on behalf of Australia, I apologise for this movie. I promise we make better movies than this.
mypetreview This film is a delight. The story and characters are heartwarming and Magnus is just gorgeous. The young cast put in some really good performances. The accents at times seem to slip with a couple of them but overall they carry the film brilliantly. The only criticism I have is that I can't find anywhere where I can purchase a Magnus toy for my boys.Do yourself a favour, Ignore the trolls. The real critics are spot on with this one.
Dan Beale-Cocks I have low expectations for children's films because they're usually terrible. This film isn't very good, even by those low standards.You can see that it wants to be a family friendly action film, with a bit of heartwarming stuff between the kid and his dinosaur.It fails pretty hard at that. There's no humour or charm here. There's no chemistry between the actors, or between the actors and the cgi creatures. The set pieces are weak.Both my child and I got bored very quickly.It's a shame, because it could have been so much better. We deffo need films like this.
fukknetflix I'm not sure if they want to convince people that this is filmed in America, or they are making a joke out of it intentionally. Here are some glaring mistakes that I noticed that made this movie borderline unwatchable:-Soldiers being transported around in a civilian truck -Soldiers carrying AKs. Their uniforms say US army... -Soldiers wearing covers, while others are not -Over half of the vehicles seen in the movie are not sold in the US -You can clearly see the steering wheel on the right side of the vehicle -Characters breaking accent and using strange language for everyday objects i.e. "bandage" instead of "bandaid". Overall it was a pretty awful movie. They should have just had the movie set in Australia so there wouldn't be so many mistakes.
