Lilo & Stitch lacking in soul

IN the long line of Disney's live-action remakes, Lilo & Stitch joins the class of well-cast, well-budgeted reimaginings that feel... fine. Not offensively bad. Not memorably good. Just somewhere orbiting Planet Okay. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), the film checks the boxes: beautiful Hawaiian backdrops, a fluffy blue alien and a story about family that still says 'ohana.' But somewhere between the sun-soaked visuals and the CGI shenanigans, the remake forgets to pack one crucial thing for its theatrical vacation: its soul. Stitch is the star (as he should be) Everyone knows that everyone came for Stitch. And for that, the movie delivers. The beloved chaos gremlin is as destructive and adorable as ever, thanks to the returning voice of Chris Sanders, who breathes familiar life into the blue misfit. Kids in the audience are eating it up, laughing, gasping and cheering during every scene where Stitch does something wild or weird. And to be fair, he is incredibly well-rendered. The animation team clearly spent time making sure his ears, fur and general menace translate well into live action. But Stitch alone cannot hold up the film's emotional core and that is where the cracks begin to show. Cast that deserves better material There is nothing technically wrong with the acting here. Newcomer Maia Kealoha brings a spark of charm as the plucky Lilo and Sydney Elizebeth Agudong handles big sister Nani's stress with surprising maturity. Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen bring the expected oddball flair to their alien roles and the supporting cast, including Hannah Waddingham and Courtney B. Vance, fits the puzzle neatly. The issue is not performance, it is purpose. The script feels like a paint-by-numbers retelling that is too cautious to be fresh and too reverent to be impactful. The result is a movie where actors are doing their best, but the emotion gets lost somewhere between the picture-perfect beaches and the galactic exposition dumps. Aesthetically polished, emotionally thin Visually, Lilo & Stitch is a tropical treat. Kaua'i is captured in warm, golden light and the island's natural beauty radiates off the screen. There is a clear effort to respect Hawaiian culture through casting, music and local flavour and while the dialogue occasionally leans into awkward exposition, it is all cleanly directed and competently paced. But polished visuals can not replace authentic feeling. Where the original animated film tugged at heartstrings with its small-scale sincerity, the live-action version often feels like a glossy souvenir nice to look at, but not something that sticks with you. The emotional highs are muted, the character arcs feel rushed and the raw vulnerability that made the original a tearjerker has been replaced with safer, broader beats meant to appeal to a general audience. Film for the kids One thing is certain: children are having a blast. From Stitch's antics to the colourful action sequences, this remake plays like a crowd-pleasing matinee for the under-10 crowd. It is loud, fast and funny enough to hold short attention spans and Stitch remains a merchandiser's dream. For adults or fans of the 2002 original, though, the experience varies. Some may find comfort in the nostalgia, while others will notice that the film, despite its efforts, never quite reaches the emotional depth or quirky sincerity that made the original a cult favourite. It is the cinematic equivalent of a re-recorded pop song, technically competent, but missing the soul of the original performance. Safe, slight and sort of sweet Lilo & Stitch is not a disaster. It is a decent family film that entertains without offending, but rarely inspires. Fans hoping for a bold reimagining or a deeply emotional retelling may leave wanting more. At the same time, younger audiences and casual viewers will likely walk away satisfied, especially if they came just to see Stitch run wild. This is not the worst-acted remake out there. It is not even the worst Disney has done. It is simply another entry in the live-action pipeline that feels more like a product than a passion project. Watch it for Stitch. Watch it for fun. Just do not expect to feel much when it is over. DIRECTOR: Dean Fleischer Camp CAST: Maia Kealoha, Chris Sanders, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Zach Galifianakis E-VALUE: 6/10 PLOT: 5/10 ACTING: 5/10

‘Lilo & Stitch' wins N.America box office for second week

Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' has earned a whopping US$610 million so far. (Disney/Pixar pic) LOS ANGELES : Disney's family-friendly 'Lilo & Stitch,' a live-action remake of the 2002 animated film, won the North American box office for a second week in a row, taking in another US$63 million, industry estimates showed Sunday. So far, its worldwide take is at a whopping US$610 million, Exhibitor Relations said. Maia Kealoha (as Lilo), Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B Vance and Zach Galifianakis star, while Chris Sanders again provides the voice of the chaos-creating blue alien Stitch. 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' – the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise spy thriller series based on a 1960s TV show – took second place with US$27.3 million in the United States and Canada. The Paramount film has made another US$231 million overseas, which should help offset its massive production budget, reportedly at US$400 million. Debuting in a disappointing third place was Sony's 'Karate Kid: Legends,' a sequel featuring Ralph Macchio – the star of the original 1984 classic – and action flick icon Jackie Chan, along with Ben Wang in the title role. It made US$21 million at the domestic box office and another US$26 million overseas. ''Legends' is trying to invigorate the story with a new Kid – again – but business is not strong,' said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. In fourth place was Warner Bros. and New Line's horror film 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' at US$10.8 million. And another horror film, 'Bring Her Back,' debuted in fifth place with US$7.1 million. 'This is a very good opening for an original horror movie that cost only US$4.5 million to make,' said Gross. Rounding out the top 10 were:

Criminal minds

DISNEY+ continues to cement its place as a hub for quality K-dramas with Nine Puzzles, a gripping psychological crime series directed by Yoon Jong-bin and penned by Lee Eun-mi. This 11-episode thriller packages emotional trauma, criminal profiling and unresolved mysteries into a layered narrative that keeps viewers guessing. At the centre of the story is Yoon E-na, played with haunting intensity by Kim Da-mi. As a teenager, E-na stumbled upon the lifeless body of her beloved uncle with a single puzzle piece ominously left at the crime scene. Although the case never led to charges, E-na became the prime suspect in the eyes of detective Kim Han-saem (Son Suk-ku). The stigma stuck and the case went cold but the emotional scars remained. Years later, E-na has transformed into a profiler for the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, working to understand the minds of criminals while struggling with her own unresolved trauma. When a new murder emerges with disturbingly similar characteristics to her uncle's case, E-na is forced to reopen old wounds. She is also made to partner with Han-saem, the very man who once believed she was a killer. Their dynamic is at the core of the drama. Da-mi portrays E-na with restrained fury and calculated calm, while Son delivers a subtle performance as a detective grappling with guilt, doubt and professional duty. Their uneasy alliance is less about redemption and more about recognition of each other's pain and shared obsession with the truth. Visually, Nine Puzzles leans into darkness. Jong-bin's direction favours long silences, dim lighting and slow reveals, crafting an atmosphere that is as unsettling as it is intriguing. Composer Jo Yeong-wook, known for his work on Oldboy and The Handmaiden, heightens the mood with a chilling score that creeps in at the right moments. The pacing is slow in the first few episodes, but purposefully so. Each scene, line of dialogue and expression is loaded with significance. What might feel like a lull is actually the show laying down the emotional groundwork for the twists and turns that follow. Viewers who stick with it will find themselves rewarded with a thriller that values psychological realism over flashy dramatics. Supporting performances from Kim Sung-kyun and Hyeon Bong-sik add balance and weight to the cast, helping ground the series in procedural reality while E-na and Han-saem pursue a more personal kind of justice. With just enough questions answered and more still unresolved, the first half sets the stage for an intense escalation. Nine Puzzles is now streaming on Disney+. The final two episodes will air this Wednesday. DIRECTOR: Yoon Jong-bin CAST: Kim Da-mi, Son Suk-ku, Kim Sung-kyun, Hyeon Bong-sik E-VALUE: 7 PLOT: 7 ACTING: 8
