Disappointing - The Call of the Wild review by cr
I was looking forward to this but i was really disappointed in it. It starts off well but rapidly goes downhill. The problem is the main doggy character is CGI which is great that Disney is not using real animals but he looks so weird and is very distracting. Might be enjoyed by younger viewers tho as its aimed for that market.

Reduces a classic children’s book to a pastiche - The Call of the Wild review by PS
I was really looking forward to this movie - the book is deservedly a classic with its unflinching portrait of nature as vast and unforgiving, and the memorable relationship between Jack Thornton and Buck. It’s often the first book that children read where not everyone lives happily ever after.
Unfortunately the movie chucks out everything that’s good about the book, and reduces it to a Disneyfied shaggy dog story where every plot shift has to wear a hi-viz vest to be seen coming a mile off. I don’t mind the CGI but I do mind Harrison Ford having to gamely play along with this drivel. Opportunities for wide screen shots of fantastic landscapes are passed up in favour of hokey races through ice caves.
Of course, you could say this is just the rambling of a curmudgeonly adult - but my 10 year old who’s read the book hated it too. We agreed that one of the few good things coronavirus had done was close cinemas when this was showing!
