Tim Burton's live-action remake can't compete with the original; Too many new characters and themes weigh down this live-action remake of the animated classic
Tim Burton's "Dumbo" is hardly a bad film. But his fans will be disappointed by how little of the director's dark DNA made it into the finished product --a slick, serviceable, safe-as-kittens entertainment that frankly could've been made by anyone
this film winds up burdening the whole thing with a dismayingly pointless, over-long, under-interesting; as the pointlessly complicated and drawn out story grinds on to its tiresome conclusion. This has been painfully de-tusked
frustratingly uneven; cluttered screenplay; thin characters that fail to exert much of a hold; the filmmaker's overstuffed visual imagination and appetite for sinister gloom all but trample the enchantment of a tale that, at heart, is simple and whimsica
a marvel of cuteness; This 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
