Review of Casper (1995) by Omotestgump — 02 Apr 2023
It shouldn't be too bad, but something is missing." Something that would be a strength to reach "very interesting.
One of the drawbacks would be that the characterization is too blatant: the three ghosts are depressing and Carrigan is a jerk. There are jerks in the school. The characters are depressingly obvious. Too much so. It's a good thing they didn't add any more nasty villains. These characters do some interesting things, but frankly, they are a pain in the ass.
The one flaw I can say is the storyline as well. I thought it was a good theme, a good story, but it takes Casper's inspiring story in a different direction. Despite the great theme of friendship between Kat and Casper, the story is taken in a more sci-fi direction. It's for kids, so it's packed with a lot of elements to keep them interested. It's not bad, but it won't make the movie any more interesting.
In the end, the movie is enjoyable all the way through, but you can't shake the impression that there are a lot of unnecessary elements.
