Incredible CGI save a pretty lame carbon copy remake

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2019)

The first thing to say about this film is it really does set a new high bar in cinematic CGI. It is truly incredible, I really couldn't work at all if the whole thing was real with CGI added or just wholly CGI and it is worth seeing on that basis alone.
It is just a shame that the story didn't get anything like the same makeover. If you have seen the first you have seen the second. I know it's a remake but from memory it's almost a complete copy just with live action. Same scenes, songs and characters, nothing seems to have changed.
There are some very funny scenes and the characters and songs are still great but you do end up thinking was it just done for the sake of it?
