Beloved by fans and critics alike, although 1940’s Pinocchio may feel a be dated in spots there is nothing about the film that calls for a new version of the story (let alone three in one year – including one with Pauly Shore?!). However, Disney (in all its wisdom) has chosen Pinocchio for the latest “live-action” adaption of one of their classic animated films (featuring multiple CGI characters, of course).

The Fast & Furious‘ Elsa Pataky stars in this braindead action-thriller as U.S. Army Captain J. J. Collins who nearly single-handedly defends a remote Interceptor station somewhere in the Pacific which is the only thing that can prevent a smug monologuing terrorist (Luke Bracey) who won’t ever shut up from nuking half of the United States. In it for money, which likely won’t be worth anything after the global economy collapses, our rich bad boy otherwise seems to be prepared for anything he encounters, except Captain Collins.
