Critics Consensus

Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project.

The recut American version is truly awful, but a good 75 percent of the awfulness is attributable to Miramax, the film's distributor.

What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log?

Film Frenzy

Joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy.

Rated: 1/4

Live-action dubbed puppet story is creepy and lacks humor.

Creepy and stupid, this bland adaption of the classic "Pinocchio" story is weird, and not in a unique or entertaining way.

Pinocchio ( 2002) was a really good movie. It was really funny at points, and even thought Roberto Benenni was a older guy when he played Pinocchio, he did a wonderful job at doing everything in the movie. Pinocchio (2002) is a very underrated movie. This movie is much better than people say it is. For critics, this movie got a 0%, and for the critics, this is one of the 10 worst movie ever. For the audience this movie got a 33 %. This movie needs higher rating. What a good remake.

A diferencia de la versión animada de Disney, esta adaptación esta mas aferrada al relato original. Claro que a estas alturas es muy difícil poder opacar al clásico animado que Disney nos trajo, pero aun así esta adaptación merece tener algo de atención a pesar de no haber recurrido a más efectos especiales para crear una marioneta viviente o darle vida a otros personajes no humanos. Al menos las intenciones de Roberto Benigni fueron buenas. Claramente no es mejor que la versión animada de Disney, pero se aprecia que hayan intentado hacer una adaptación más aferrada al libro. Mi calificación para esta película es un 8/10.
