Dated & falls short of the original film
5 April 2024
I'm a big fan of Astrid Lindgren, her book & the original film. Timeless classics, this is not, however. They clearly aimed to update it for the mythical modern audience, which intern removed all the charm and realism and made a believable setting difficult to achieve in this medieval inspired fantasy. The casting is fine, except for a few strange choices & the acting is generally OK, I presume the younger audience will be entertained just fine. I was glad to see that the budget was sufficient for some great CGI. I will not recommend this if you are a fan of The book or the film because of the potential for disappointment. For casual viewing & younger viewers it's OK at best.
