Peak Reynolds with some very amusing stuff sitting alongside some extreme violence and choice language. Had some regrets letting my 13yo boy watch it, but it's nothing he hasn't heard before. 8
78. Home Alone
Still the best last 30 minutes of any family film. Christmas classic. 8
79. Avengers: End Game
Culmination of maybe the most ambitious series of films ever made. It's amazing that it hangs together. Love it. 9

Yeah, I can see that. He takes the wide eyed naif to extremes. There's a certain logic to it though - they're clearly riffing on the idea that he's only just popped into existence and knows absolutely nothing about anything. Del Toro's Pinocchio is genuinely, irritatingly, innocent. He's a long way away from the (initially) selfish, entitled, violent prick that Collodi wrote about. (Or the weird half way house that Disney settled on.)
