It says a lot about AI that though I didn't really like it, I went to see it a second time. And you know what, I still didn't really like it.
A simple patch job could fix things right up. The first act is wonderful. The second act needs lengthening, the third act needs to disappear.
The second act needs an additional sub-plot that gives Gigolo Joe something more to do. He's such a great character that it's a shame his role is nothing more than a guide for David. The pair need to visit a different part of the world. Rouge City is fabulous looking but then we are taken into a claustrophobic room with Dr. Know that is a bore. Dr. Know is a triumph of computer effects but he needed to be funny.
If the film ended with the narrator saying that David kept wishing to the Blue Fairy for ever, and ever and ever... it would have been so pessimistic, so awful, so different. WOW!!
It didn't need epilogue.
Oh and please somebody explain to me Gigolo Joe's final lines. "I am... I was". I don't get it.
