While it certainly didn’t reignite my childhood passion for this property, it is a reasonably enjoyable watch.

The classic era of Pixar, where everything they made was gold, is probably gone for good. However, they still make solid entertainment.

It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

This is a clear attempt at a new franchise and is fun enough that it just might succeed.

It is certainly not a terrible experience. Still, it is hard to recommend it when Pixar has done so much better, so many times.

While it obviously doesn’t have the novelty of the original, it builds on its gorgeous world in clever and creative ways.

Though thematically darker than the famous Disney version, it is an inspiring family adventure that del Toro has certainly made his own.

While it is difficult to believe that people were clamoring for a Buzz Lightyear origin story, the one we’ve gotten is actually pretty good.

The resulting story is a strange mix of fantasy/action/romance, with good action and spectacular visuals that cover for its flaws.
