What critics are saying about Pete's Dragon

Lone Wolf's Rating: 8 / 10 Pros: Great visual effects. Sound effects were spot on. Cinematography was great. Plot was interesting, and well written. I liked how they managed to give it a modernized update, without compromising the core elements of the original story. Acting was OK. Pacing was good. It was slow during the moments it had to be, so we could soak in the tender moments of the story ...

The animation hit that sweet spot between photoreal and caricature— a far cry from “Game of Thrones.” “The fur led me to Weta because of the ‘Apes’ films and because they add soul to their characters,” said Lowery, who found it an odd coincidence that Weta was also working simultaneously on Steven Spielberg’s “The BFG” and that both movies have children befriending 20-foot creatures confronting xenophobia.
