Movie Reviews of Thomas and the Magic Railroad
Movie Review: A Family Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
Thomas the Tank Engine is a favorite with our grandchildren, and they reach for this one repeatedly. Although the adults can be boring, especially Peter Fonda, the trains are great! No wonder Thomas and his friends have been around for more than sixty years!Movie Review: Kids: Good; Parents: Worst. Movie. Ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
We first saw this horrible movie in the theater. I was bad but our boys loved it. Here's what I didn't like about this movie:
* The acting is awful
* The plot is incomprehensible
* The sound is badly mixed
* The human actors take center stage at the expense of the trains
* It has none of the sweetness or charm that Thomas is known for
Even though I truly hate this movie, my boys love it. That's why I'm buying the DVD now that our VHS tape has worn out.
Movie Review: Good for Toddler Thomas Fans
Summary: 4 Stars
My toddler loves this movie. Don't get me wrong--the negative reviews on this site are not incorrect. There isn't as much train action as in other Thomas flicks, and the human acting isn't very good. I think Alec Baldwin is great, but Peter Fonda sleepwalks through the movie, just collecting his paycheck, and the kids look like they're reading their lines straight from the cards. Still, the music is catchy for toddlers and the storyline is straightforward and uplifting for kids.Movie Review: Bad, bad, bad.
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad plot. Bad acting (from usually good actors!). Bad accents from the engines. Bad special effects. There's a mean streak that's not found in the "regular" episodes of Thomas. If you're looking for a longer Thomas adventure, try "Calling All Engines" instead!Movie Review: Thomas and the Magic Railroad
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is very enjoyable for young children who like Thomas the Tank Engine. It's a little different than typical Thomas movies in that it has live actors as well as the trains. The acting isn't the best, but that doesn't take from the enjoyment for the younger viewers. There is one spot in the copy of the DVD that we have where you can't hear the dialogue, but it's a very short segment and not really noticeable unless you have subtitles on.
