Better than the original.

I felt the first movie was over-rated, or perhaps I just don't like a smelly dog being the center of the movie. In True Blue, the kid Mick Carter played by Levi Miller is the center of the movie, not the dog. I must prefer people to dogs, and Levi Miller is most amicable. The movie had a sub plot for me being the transient nature of youth. The opening scenes show a mature age Michael Carter (played by Jason Isaacs) reflecting on his youth and being sent to his grandfather property in the Pilbara. The closing credits feature the mature age Michael Carter again, with his sons & wife playing with a newly purchased pup. Therefore when we see Levi Miller in the movie, it is just a point in time, a memory, a pleasant memory at that.
