Awesome visuals, not the same impact of the original.

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

The movie does a fabulous job to to tingle nostalgic emotions by giving similar visuals, but undelivers in conveying the same emotional impact of the 25 year old one. Most of the time, the characters seem to be empty shells unable to strike an emotional connect despite the "superior" graphics and visuals it incorporates. In spite of this it does, the movie provides a number of instances that causes goosebumps/ shivers down my spine and almost leading me to tears. Bring a remake, alterations to certain scenes provide a nice addition of humour that works well in the movie's favour. Hans Zimmer has given this movie an amazing carry with his OST, compensating for what the movie doesn't offer. It concludes, as we know, in a positive attitude and that really helps with the way you feel about the movie and the "takeaway".
The movie does an admirable job providing the generation that loved the original an opportunity to relive their childhood.
