Negative Positive
Title: Long, slow, and unabashedly melodramatic
Review: Let me start with the ending first. This part was a total unnecessarily drawn out, and over emotional part of the film. I agree with another reviewer, stop the film when the boy finally finds the blue fairy. That was his goal throughout the movie. There were few moments of joy in this robot's immortal life, all the pain the we are forced to witness just makes you emotionally numb at the end and checking your watch waiting for the ending (if you haven't turned the movie off already). It started promising enough, with a good concept, but Spielberg made it too hard to bond with the little creature that was nothing but an embodiment of pain and loneliness. The film is visually beautiful, but without a strong story, it is an overall disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
