Released on September 8th, 2022, “Pinocchio” is one of the newest movies to come out. Originally, in 1940, “Pinocchio” was meant to be a live-action film in the first place, but the idea was turned down by Walt Disney, who made the story into an animated feature “The Adventures of Pinocchio”. The live-action film was officially announced on April 8, 2015, but many unexpected troubles caused the film to be postponed. Finally, on January 24, 2020 Robert Zemeckis began to direct the making of the film which led to it being finished two years later. “Pinocchio” tells the story of a puppet, Pinocchio, who is made real after Geppetto, a woodcarver, carves Pinocchio and wishes for him to become alive. Pinocchio tries to be a real boy, but it doesn't work. He is kicked out of school for being a puppet and is persuaded to go on other adventures. The movie is 105 minutes long and has lots of adventures with characters like Jiminy Cricket and Stromboli. This movie stars famous actors like Tom Hanks as Geppetto and Benjamin Evam Ainsworth as Pinocchio. Most of the characters were computer generated images, like Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio, but there were some who were played by real characters like Blue Fairy and Geppetto. This highly anticipated movie has been widely considered a bust. The movie got a 26% on Tomatometer and the audience score was a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. On Common Sense Media, it was rated a 3/5, and 5.1/10 on IMDB, which is beyond terrible for a movie with so much hype before its release. The Google Reviews aren't any better, having more 1 star reviews than 5 stars, which usually does not happen unless the movie was appallingly bad. It was obvious what the audience thought of the movie when even big fans of the old Pinocchio movie became the number one haters for the live-action film. “It is a complete disappointment. Not even Tom Hanks could save it. I’ll stick to the classic.” wrote Mary Rojas from Google Reviews. Overall, the movie was not what anyone expected it to be, and it was nowhere near the classic version Pinocchio.
