The Call of the Wild's reviews
Media reviews
Entertainment Weekly
"The ultimate parent movie (...) History has the ability to entertain and move (...) And Ford's presence, as well as his performance, give him a passionate and wild side that he needs
Variety
For all the wholesome cheesiness of much of the film, you?d have to have a pretty hard heart not to be touched by it.
The Guardian
The result is a bit corny, a bit cheesy and you might feel self-conscious going, ?Aww ?? at creatures that are not real dogs but laptop fabrications. But it?s a robust and old-fashioned entertainment with some real storytelling bite.
Empire
It does nothing radical with the original material, but it comes out airy thanks to the good assembly of its scenes and the force that Ford gives
The Hollywood Reporter
The results are visually disorienting, to say the least. Although Notary and the special effects team do as good a job as technology allows, the expressive Buck never quite looks real. And you keep expecting him and the rest of the animals to burst into song.
Indiewire
'Call of the Wild' 2020 no es una atrocidad total, sino un signo de interrogación, una historia de aventuras formulada con tecnología de punta en busca de un propósito.
The A.V. Club
It is neither disaster nor dream, landing firmly somewhere in the disappointing middle.
The Wrap
Slow, emotionless and boasting fairly mediocre production values, this misguided kid movie turns Jack London?s classic tale about the natural world into something barely recognizable as part of that world.
Screen Daily
'Call Of The Wild' isn?t animation, it isn?t live action, it isn?t fish, fowl or dog and somewhere in between it falls off its sled. Mankind can always benefit from some digital enhancement; man?s best friend, not so much.
Collider
If the film wants to tell us that you have to appreciate the natural world, the protagonist cannot be so unnatural (...) He never finds his way
