Ghosts of War (2020)
Particular
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A very particular film that takes place in a haunted house during the Second World War, but not everything is as it seems. I don't know how to describe this film without spoilers, so I will. First of all, the film is very interesting and it fits very well into the psychological horror panorama by blending classic fear with Arab curses and cutting-edge technology, this may seem incredibly confusing, but it is not, the film flows very well and little by little the viewer is given the opportunity to understand how the film unfolds and to realize together with the protagonists the true soul of the film.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Like aalother Marvel movies
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
First chapter a little more Marvellian of the saga of the very blond Norse god who brandishes the powerful hammer of lightning. With the previous chapter they had tried to give the Thor saga a very serious and adult connotation with a very dark photography, instead with this chapter they decided to make it uniform with all the rest of the cinematography and in my opinion they did well for the box office and the general public of the saga but for me it had to be kept a little different from the rest of the Marvel films because that is where its originality resided. Having said that, however, I would also like to say that the film is very nice and also very entertaining.
Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend (2022)
Normally good
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A film that is a bit too underrated but deserves at least a passing grade because it manages to tell the story of one of the most influential men in the panorama of Italian luxury cars very well. The film is therefore a beautiful story, raw and full of both the good and bad things that Lamborghini did in his life, from the first tractors to the first luxury car arriving at the end of the company. In conclusion, it is worth seeing the film but do not expect something exceptional, it is a good story told quite well but obviously it is not a masterpiece.
Black Panther (2018)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
I would like to start by saying that I personally have never really been inspired by Black Panther as a hero but this film has made me strongly change my mind. In the meantime, let's start by saying that the plot is spot on because it offers us a classic story of the origins of a superhero but with this one already being a hero first but who however must face an unprecedented challenge coming from his father's past of which he was unaware. In conclusion I want to say that the film is very entertaining and unexpectedly at least for me very very beautiful.
Botte di Natale (1994)
Funny
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A very classic spaghetti western that sees in irony and scenic blows the full realization of its potential. So there is not much to say about the film except that it is rightly very cute and funny and also very entertaining thanks as I have already said to the great irony that distinguishes it. As the title of the film says, prepare yourselves for Christmas slaps because the plot is not much more complex than that, many slaps with classic and very beautiful sound effects that if you are passionate about the genre, the film is certainly very valid.
The Atomic Submarine (1959)
Old but valid
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions of the film.
Ok the model of the submarine and the flying dike in a pool are very funny but they must be contextualized to the period, the film is very old and unlike other films this extreme old age is also felt in the acting style which is quite cumbersome and set. However, let's talk about the plot which for the period is quite original and also managed quite well both in terms of timing and twists, however I was a bit disappointed by the ending which is not done very well and is a bit too hasty. Lastly I want to say that the principle of if you can't represent it visually then tell it is a bit too overused.
Black Widow (2021)
Better than you might expect
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
I had some prejudices about this film because I had only heard bad things about it from practically everyone, the most positive judgment I had heard was that the film was simply skippable and not essential to see, and let's say that I too found problems especially in the scenic rendering of the special effects that are sometimes poorly done and also on the usefulness of the film in the broad panorama of the cinematic universe, but if one watches it thoroughly he discovers that the plot adds both characters and ways of reading that could be taken up again in the future and also in itself this plot is a very interesting plot between action and espionage that entertains a lot.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
On one side Stark and on the other Cap, the clash between the two most beloved Marvel superheroes with the introduction of even new faces in the cinematic universe, a real pearl of this cinematic universe. I did not expect to like it so much and instead it entertained me a lot thanks to some very good action scenes and a very beautiful and not at all obvious plot. The good thing about this film is that it does not bore even if the film in total lasts excessively more than two hours and therefore could be quite heavy, but this is the demonstration that if you have a good film in the end the duration is secondary.
Havoc (2005)
Pretentious
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film. I really don't know what to say about this film, I don't even fully understand what it wants to represent, the degradation of some neighborhoods?, the fact that rich kids don't know what they're doing? Or the intolerance of people towards a world of crime to which they are fully attracted?, because this film does not represent any of this and is only a pretentious film for teenagers who would like to be criminals without understanding anything of what is around them. In the end, therefore, it remains only a film that entertains but fails to overcome its pretentiousness that ruins it a bit.
Hamburger Hill (1987)
Really nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions of the film.
I must say that I knew absolutely nothing about this battle before trying to watch this film and once I saw it I can say that the film particularly moved me, because it tells in a very human way a terrible and bloody battle where many people lost their lives, some of whom certainly did not even want to be there. Of all the war films I particularly appreciate films like this one that manage to put humanity and not just a crude and cold narration of soulless events. In conclusion, a highly recommended film.
Spaceballs (1987)
Funny
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A classic parody film that parodies one of the most well-known and appreciated film sagas in history. In my opinion this parody is very appreciable because unlike others it is never excessively vulgar or too risqué, but remains in a limbo between parody and a very normal comic film and this in my opinion is one of the great merits of this film. In conclusion, it must be said that this is a film that has made history as far as parodies are concerned and has almost acted as a master for films to come, obviously I am referring to crazy films.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A great light in the cinematic panorama of superheroes, an irreverent, funny but still quite serious film that manages to find an excellent balance between humor and seriousness to be a light and enjoyable film but at the same time manages not to be stupid or too ridiculous. The plot is really interesting because it serves as an expedient to thoroughly tell the story of one of the members of the Guardians, a story that is really very interesting and really very beautiful. As for the scenic rendering of the film, the latter is really very beautiful.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Prequel on the story of one of the protagonists of Fury Road, a film made very well that manages to explore the entire life story of the protagonist without ever being too long-winded or cloying. If you are a fan of the Mad Max saga I absolutely recommend this film, but I also recommend it as a film to approach the saga because being a prequel it works well as an introduction. In general, therefore, the film is very beautiful and very well structured thanks to the territorial organization of the battle leader that makes the film a story of revenge parallel to one of conquest.
The Watchers (2024)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
A horror film that I would define as decent, not much more but at least decent, that is, it is sufficient because it does what a horror film should do, that is, scare and almost only thanks to tension. But the big flaw of this film is that it tries to have a complex and inspired plot and then fails terribly because it is managed very badly and this is truly terrible because as an atmosphere the film is beautiful and as for tension scenes it manages to entertain well, then you look at the plot that seems particular and cute and instead it is managed so badly that it makes you despise it.
Ed Wood (1994)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Wonderful film that tells the story of one of the poorest but most visionary directors the world has ever seen, a director who had a big heart even if he had absolutely no talent to express it and therefore produced only films that later became cult but only for the fact of being trash. This film thanks also to the magnificent performances of the actors tells a strange and eventful life with the respect and irony it deserves to tell it in a very light but still very thorough way. Obviously I highly recommend watching it.
Uglies (2024)
Very good
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Very nice film that for those who grew up with classic dystopian teen films is very normal administration and therefore I think that the ratings are a bit too low because it is a very normal and entertaining film that if all goes well will also have a sequel that I will watch because this film deserves a sequel. So in my opinion this film is well above average and even if it does not bring anything new to its overcrowded genre it still represents a very good film to watch without pretensions just to have fun.
It's What's Inside (2024)
Nice but not too nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film really annoys me because it starts with a really inspiring plot and then ends in nothing and this is a shame. The basic idea of the film is really very good and also the beginning and the development are interesting and particular with really well-timed twists that keep you glued to the screen and then comes the Ending that is not bad in itself but it is bad how it is handled because it is put on the screen as a terrible didactic explanation that completely kills the spirit of this film. . As a final consideration I want to say that the photography is very good and helps to appreciate the film.
Dune: Part Two (2024)
Gne
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
If the first Dune was boring, the second, being the sequel of the first, maintains this line of boredom and slowness but with a hint that makes it more enjoyable than the first part. The scenes are really beautiful and well done and even those that leave the viewer in tension are many thanks above all to the twists that in many cases keep the film going. So the film is boring but more valid than the first and therefore I can say that it is worth watching more than the first. However, a sore point is found in the ending that I personally found very rushed and poorly constructed.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
They had to represent D & D in a film and being a board game it could have been complicated but instead they succeeded very well in their intent creating a very beautiful film and above all very engaging and fun. The plot is very classic but that's how it had to be and in my opinion and therefore it works very well. In conclusion it will certainly not enter the Olympus of its genre but I still consider it a really good film. Let's say that the fundamental thing of the film is the irony precisely because it is based almost everything on the latter.
El hoyo 2 (2024)
Really nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Prequel of the first chapter which therefore has a mistake in the name since it is not a chapter 2 but a chapter -1. Having said that, however, I liked the film a lot also because being very similar to the first, this film retains all the strengths correcting some weak points, despite this however the plot is not as good as that of the first, in reality it adds many new points that greatly enrich the general plot of the saga but it does not seem as original as the first film. Despite this however the film is very beautiful and some scenes are really very beautiful.
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
Terrible
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions of the film.
This film is the perfect representation of when you don't need to make a sequel, if there had only been the first film it would have been much better for everyone. What is the problem with this film you ask, well the problem is the songs and this is a big problem because the film should be a sort of musical but after a while you start to hate any song because of how badly any song is managed in any scene. It is not possible that a fart is enough to start a song. And if it were only for the songs it would also be salvageable but besides that the plot is not that great and there are many senseless scenes.
Adrift (2018)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film from my point of view is really very nice and to think that it is based on a true story is really impressive. However, it obviously has some flaws and the most obvious is certainly the tremendous banality of the twists in this film, there is no unexpected twist, everything is terribly predictable and it is a shame because for the rest the film is valid. Then I can't even say that it is completely a copy of the film because being based on a true story the plot is obviously forced, but not completely and it is precisely in that not completely that there is the banality.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions of the film.
Truly a masterpiece of our times, not for the plot, not for the acting (although very good), but for the hand-made special effects and for the Burtonian atmosphere at its best. Speaking of the plot, the film is not great especially because the bad characters never represent a real threat, that is, I never had the feeling that the protagonists could fail, but if one leaves the plot alone, the rest of the film is not a 10. This is a perfect sequel to the extraordinary work that was the first film.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Spy film because among all the heroes Cap is definitely the one that best suits this kind of stories, very nice the introduction of a new character presented here as a semi-villain of the story. In general I can say that the film is really entertaining, as a plot it is also well done because even if quite complex it is managed very well and therefore you do not get lost even if you do not pay particular attention to the film. I also particularly appreciated the fact of not being too confusing. Nice.
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film was criticized at the time for being too sad and dark but it was a godsend considering the ones after in the same saga, this film was the demonstration that Marvel could do something a little more adult instead of making the usual racket, luckily they then found a balance but this film could have been a precedent for having more adult sagas, luckily the criticisms were not listened to too much. In conclusion therefore I consider this the best Thor ever slightly superior to the first and in a sidereal way to all the others.
