Movie Reviews

Reviewed by ViriatoT8 4 / 10

Too condensed to follow if you haven't read the book

Based on Mark Twain's classic, the film had all the potential to be great. However, trying to compress much of the story into 1h40 results in abrupt shifts that only viewers familiar with the book can follow. The acting falls flat, failing even to convey genuine fear or surprise in key moments and other mistakes mark the movie, such as Indian Joe not being intimidating enough or Aunt Polly being too young. On the positive side, the setting is impressively detailed and captures the period precisely. The film's main strength lies in its literary source rather than its execution.

almost nice

a credible Tom Sawyer. a soft . plump Huck. too young aunt Polly. and different Joe the Indian. a lovely recreation of small town, same adventures, spirit of novel at right place. but not exactly an adaptation. because the ambition to create a self work is too great in this case. so, the nuances becomes colors, the details are more important than large problems. sure, it is a play and each adaptation is game with facts from book if the measure is not too far.after other adaptations, it is right to desire create something original. but the desire is not always right way. in this situation, fundamental chance is the love of public for Twain masterpiece. the two charming boys. the lights. the science of images creation. and the nostalgic memories. and, of course, the option of filmmaker for Bucarest.
