PINOCCHIO All Critics (149) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (109) Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee, it didn’t work for me.  September 16, 2022  Peter Travers ABC News TOP CRITIC A misguided redo.  September 14, 2022 | Rating: 1.5/4  Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News TOP CRITIC Instead of capturing the old-school charm of the original, the new film looks as dead-eyed as one of Zemeckis’s motion-capture characters, as it recites the familiar fable of the puppet who wanted to be a boy.  September 12, 2022  David Sims The Atlantic TOP CRITIC A well-intentioned work that largely falls flat, it arrives as just another widget in Disney’s “remake ’em all!” agenda, one whose pedigree offered the hope of something better.  September 9, 2022  John DeFore Hollywood Reporter TOP CRITIC The verbal jokes for adults barely raise a smile, but Zemeckis visually remains the pro he’s always been, moving smoothly through a stylised world.  September 8, 2022 | Rating: 3/5  Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) TOP CRITIC Think of this Pinocchio, at its best, as Zemeckis’s conglomerate-backed cultural critique, a nauseated state of the artistic union typified by a scene in which our little timber-carved innocent quizzically contemplates a steaming pile of horse dung.  September 8, 2022  Keith Uhlich (All (Parentheses)) TOP CRITIC Frequent peril in live-action/CGI version of classic tale.  September 17, 2022 | Rating: 3/5  Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Not even Tom Hanks in front of the camera or Robert Zemeckis behind it can make this blatantly opportunistic effort resonate.  September 16, 2022 | Rating: C  Robert W. Butler Butler’s Cinema Scene Even by Disney live-action remake standards, [Pinocchio] is quite subpar and it’s all because it tries way too hard at everything to the point that it no longer becomes enjoyable.  September 16, 2022 | Rating: 4/10  Mat Brunet AniMat’s Review (YouTube) The movie falls in two camps. One adds new stuff that feels like it serves no other purpose than to pad the runtime… or two, does exactly what the animation did, it just doesn’t do it nearly as well.  September 16, 2022  Jeremy Jahns JeremyJahns.com Here, they have unfortunately decided to intrude on the 19th century European setting and freshen it up with Honest John talking about social media influencers and acting like he’s snapping a photo with a cell phone. Huh?  September 16, 2022 | Rating: C-  Lynn Venhaus Webster-Kirkwood Times Dull and uninspired.  September 16, 2022  Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet…
