Sloppy

Rating: 3/10 (26 August 2019)

I adored the original animation but, with all the simpathy I have for Favreau, this was above his capabilities. The movie, besides a scene heavily modified and one taken out, lacks the solemnity, the humor and the charm the other version had. Disney should have been more careful in handing over one of its signature works to someone who made very enjoyable superhero movies, which I liked, for the record. If only they thought it over better like they did for Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella...
