My Pet Dinosaur

I have low expectations for children's films because they're usually terrible. This film isn't very good, even by those low standards.

You can see that it wants to be a family friendly action film, with a bit of heartwarming stuff between the kid and his dinosaur.

It fails pretty hard at that. There's no humour or charm here. There's no chemistry between the actors, or between the actors and the cgi creatures. The set pieces are weak.

Both my child and I got bored very quickly.

It's a shame, because it could have been so much better. We deffo need films like this.

Sorry to the producers of this attempt at a charming boy and his heroic pet saga, but it really is awful. The animations were just odd, the direction so wooden I felt like building a camp fire. The story leaps about at points with characters turning up in places from scene to scene with no explanation of how they got there and the military's motivation for being there is only something you guess about long after it even matters. Certainly not for adults and my two grand kids were very bored.

Perhaps the worst film I've seen for a long time and if I could I would provide a negative score for wasting my time.

It's like a 7th grader wrote, directed, edited and produced this for a school assignment.

The acting and writing is atrocious and the story line jumps around and there is little flow to scenes. The 'US ARMY' guys just turn up and it's the same guys with an assortment of military gear. Then when they start shooting it is comical, because the the firing a sound track from possibly every other army movie and no recoil and/or muzzle flash, and really this is just the an example... there are many, many more.

If you want to watch a film/TV show with great acting from younger actors, watch 'Super 8' or 'Stranger Things'.

Badly acted, kids performances made the adult actors seem even worse, couldn't be bothered waiting for the dinos to show up.

Not a lot to like about this film, was expecting something better.

Do yourselves a favour and watch, How To Train Your Dragon, the cartoon characters are more believable, likable and watchable.

The actors and the lines were simply weak and almost empty. The story itself was mostly there. The dinosaur and effects were the most Interesting part. My problem was the kids gets the dinosaur to "safety", leaves and then suddenly it's running through the street being chased by government. It's like the filmmakers as whole just skipped a chunk of the plot line altogether and then all characters are suddenly on a mission together. The story fell off the tracks. Overall it was making sense till that point and then got repetitive and random. I'd say skip this movie as you don't miss anything.
