Dumbo - Review Thread

Rotten Tomatoes:50% - Average Rating: 5.69/10Metacritic: 52​Owen Gleiberman - VarietyIt transforms a miraculous tale into a routine story by weighing it down with a lot of nuts and bolts it didn't need.​Philip De Semlyen - Time OutWith production designer Rick Heinrichs, Burton forsakes his beloved gothic touches for an art deco style that lends it all a Gatsby-esque decadence.​Radheyan Simonpillai - NOW TorontoAt its best, Dumbo is an imaginative visual treat. Burton's baroque style flourishes during the larger set pieces.​Karen Han - PolygonDumbo is Tim Burton's best film in years.​Josh Speigel -Slash FilmsThough not remotely as noxious and garish as his 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland, Burton has not solved the puzzle of figuring out a halfway decent creative reason for this film to exist.​Christie Cronan - Raising WhasiansDumbo is an unexpected flight that shows the world how our own uniqueness can soar. It's a "feel good" movie that probably won't win any awards, but will win over a new generation of Dumbo believers.​Roger Moore - Movie NationI expected Burton to make me cry. I didn't expect him to utterly bum me out.​Oliver Jones - ObserverDumbo is pretty standard issue, with corporate necessity seemingly dictating Burton rather than the other way around.​Peter Travers - Rolling StonesThis live-action re-imagining of Disney's 1941 animated classic may be the sweetest film Tim Burton has ever made. It's also the safest.​Bilge Ebiri - New York Magazine/VultureIt's not hard to enjoy Dumbo. Like the circus owners and carnival crackpots who try to exploit the flying elephant for all he's worth, Tim Burton still knows how to give us what we want.​​ via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2UXeG4i
