Very unlike the original, and I personally didn't overly enjoy it. A bit lacklustre and not much going on.

Such a heartwarming film, the love between the boy and the dragon is magical... the films sound track is moving... all around brill picture XD

This was a good movie! I enjoyed it, despite an interesting choice to make Elliot a fuzzy (?) dragon. Bryce Dallas Howard gave such a stellar performance I thought she was Jessica Chastain, (high praise) until someone pointed out she was Ron Howard's daughter. Some of you will recognize Karl Urban as Star Trek's Bones (McCoy), and, I don't care how old Robert Redford gets, he's just plain sexy. I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10.

I'm all in for these type of Disney movies but this was not one of the best. A bit bland and boring but nevertheless one family movie to enjoy. The ending was good.

Pete's Dragon is a touching and sentimental family film everyone can enjoy. It has it's slow points but I was mostly moved by the film throughout with tears constantly running down my face lol. With a mostly lackluster summer, Pete's Dragon was a real surprise. The performances were pretty solid and you can't help but love this take on Elliot. Despite being big and green, he is a lot like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon personality wise. But is just as likeable. The film deserves higher than 65% good reviews here. Some people rating, probably didn't even see the movie. While still blaming Disney why Suicide Squad was rated bad lol.
