My little monsters loved it. After the latest Disney flops, I finally saw them excited about a movie again, and I was pleasantly surprised, too. I thought it would be some kind of self-celebratory commercial for Europa Park disguised as a cartoon, but instead it's an independent story, and even though the theme park theme is present, it's nothing like you'd expect. I certainly wouldn't have thought I'd find that part so sweet and sentimental. The story is cute and funny, the characters adorable.

It's truly a nice, classic, family movie, but with modern sentiment and a remarkable graphics.

One of the most interesting works of recent years, with an impeccable direction. It has style, rhythm, aesthetics, if I hadn't known it was a directorial debut, I wouldn't have guessed it. But it is not a surprise since the debutant is Michael Sheen, who is a true artist as well as a professional. Perhaps in some moments the script is not as incisive as Sheen's direction, but in a world full of copy-paste series, a little genuine ingenuity is more than welcome. The choice of actors and music is also fantastic. Kudos for taking a chance on a story that will piss off a lot of puppets: that man has balls!

I was a bit skeptical about this movie, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, it's not perfect, and sometimes Branagh overdo it a little, but whoever likes the genre will be captured by the fantastic atmosphere and will not be bored, because Branagh has been able to put some pepper on the story. His Poirot convinced me and the old glories like Judy Dench, Willelm Defoe and Johnny Depp do their job and do it well, but in my opinion the most interesting notes come from the young people: I personally loved Josh Gad and Daisy Ridley, but the real surprise was Sergei Polunin: I mean, for those who saw him performing as dancer, it's not a real surprise, but it's really hard to believe it was his first time in a movie! He has given to his character this melancholy, turbulent and passionate aura, halfway between a Shakespearean prince and James Dean. His expressions, his little gestures, the way he looked at his wife, he made me feel like a teenager who cannot wait to buy his poster and stick it over her bed! And let me say, that guy definitely knows how to "handle" a woman as well as he can deliver a kick! As usual, more the critics hate a film, more it worth to be seen.
