Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Call of the Wild: Don’t bother.

A politically correct, diverse Alaska at the turn of the century, and what amounts to cartoon animals. At best a simple, good-hearted tale young kids might like.

JMHO

The preview was enough to turn me off. Thanks for confirming my feelings.

just the fact it would put money in hollywoods pocket keeps me away.

After he opened his mouth a while back, I'll never see it.

Another burned out actor trying to stay in the limelight. Guess it worked for Anthony Hopkins

I don't know how many black Frenchmen ran dog sleds delivering mail in the Yukon but I imagine there weren't many.

I agree with your review. The dog Buck was almost cartoonish with the contrived human emotions.

It's a kid's movie up until the gunplay. It pained me when he threw all those gold nuggets back in the river.

Wasn’t going too.

H F is a freeeeken Libtard MAGA hater, DemoSocialist !!!!


Used to like his movies, NO more.

H F hasn't recovered from his plane crash still.... painfully obvious.

The original with Clark Gable and Loretta Young was the best one.

Political correctness in the year 2020 means that you have to include at least one Negro in every movie, television show, commercial, or anything else that the public will see. The authenticity of the scene being filmed does not matter, as most of the people who pay to watch that stuff have been so brainwashed, that they don't know the truth anyway.

The movie it most reminded me of was 1,001 Dalmatians, I kept expecting Cruella De Ville to show up.

Didn’t help any when the CGI wolf pack hunts wild boar and flocks of just male ring neck pheasants up there in the Arctic.

Wife and I saw it this past Tuesday - I wasn’t impressed. It was rather corny.

I did like the upcoming Mulan movie due out March 27th - not so much for the story line but the background scenery looks outstanding.

Pretty much my assessment when the remake was first announced. ANY modern remake of a classic will be [bleep].

Of course I won't bother. It stars a POS...

Loved the book, which means I automatically distrust it as a movie, and doubly so any recently made movie. Then I saw the previews, which were not just CGI but really bad CGI.

Our resident liberal complaining about falsifying history to make it diverse?

Harrison Ford will be 78 in July. That's a bit old to be portraying this role. He's now an "environmental activist", so that's enough for me to not want to see this movie.

Just for the record...About 30% of American cowboys were black but until recently, you never saw a black in the western movies or tv. There were a lot of them in eastern Canada and the US had no shortage of them looking for something better. I have no idea how many of the gold rushers were black but I'm guessing there were quite a few. London seldom mentioned race other than Indians but in reality it would have been entirely possible for the guy to have been black.

That said, others have mentioned that Buck looked like a cartoon. Well, he IS a cartoon, just done a lot more fancy than his predecessors Snoopy & Bugs Bunny.

Is that true? A third of American cowboys were black? I knew there were some black cowboys. I know about Bass Reeves, a badass black lawman. I never heard that 3 out of 10 cowboys were black.

Was the dog CGI?
