Simply put, this movie did nothing for me. I've come to expect more - or at least something entirely different - from Martin Scorsese. Some say this was his attempt at a Stephen Spielberg pastiche. Lonely orphan, animatronic robot, fantasy elements - it's all there, and it's all just fine. It just didn't quite resonate with me on any level, and while it was by no means a bad movie, I'm left without much of a positive reaction to it all the same. I wish I could elaborate more, but I'm not even inspired to comb through my own reaction to this one and pinpoint strengths, weaknesses, highlights, or flaws. This was just a nice and easy PG movie without much of a statement beyond the idea that old films should be preserved. Hot take, huh?
