Reviews

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a huge cult, but it's a movie that you have to be psychologically ready to watch. This is a film that deals with very delicate and strong topics such as friendship, hope, death, the prison setting... I always left this film aside, even knowing and knowing its reviews, ratings and word of mouth...it didn't inspire me a lot... Now that I have seen this film, I said to myself in my mind: how stupid was I?!

This film has a plot that does not completely wrap you, but in the course of the film does the opposite, it conquers you. Morgan Freeman is also shown here a sensationally good actor, can look like the character he plays every time! I liked Tim Robbins a lot, he perfectly embodied the character of the character and what he wanted only with expressions. All the other actors were excellently good and managed to create unforgettable characters. My favorite character in the movie is Red. In addition I loved Brooks, I became attached immediately; also Andy, the protagonist, is obviously a great character, very smart. The unfolding of the story, its writing, the details that follow each other and that refer to each other from scene to scene...are simply perfect. Darabont's direction is perfect, he's literally a genius. I really liked the choice to include a narrator in the film, that of Red, who can make you understand the timing, what the characters felt, what he felt himself. The film's photography is impeccable and the setting of Shawshank Prison is amazing. The ending of the film is indescribable, very emotional, almost almost makes you cry: ICONIC.

What I had to say about this masterpiece, I said.

Just watch this, don't ask questions.

From "No Country for Old Men" I expected much more. On this film I have always read a great word of mouth and very high ratings and is defined as a movie. Honestly, in my opinion, this is just a good thriller film with an incredible antagonist that drags the whole film along. The film becomes beautiful only for its presence, in scenes where there are only other characters...there is nothing exciting. Anton Chigurg is so amazing for the great performance of Javier Bardem. The other characters are discreet, they are not well-researched. The other actors were convincing but unfortunately some had a horrible Italian voice actor. The plot is good but I wasn't very curious. The Coen's direction is good and it's great for the genre. The writing of the film is not enveloping and I have not been able to explain well since the beginning the various characters: you see just the fact of wanting to focus only on so much blood and an excellent antagonist. The setting is well chosen and is one of the movie's highlights. The CGI is great and at times looked like real blood. The rhythm of the film is only good because Anton Chigurg is present in most scenes and makes you stay on track and in suspense. The ending of the film didn't convince me, I would have liked a more raw and decided ending like the whole film. I don't have many words to spend on this film but I can't say it's not good.

"Shutter Island" is a crazy movie. A plot of sensational details, an atmosphere out of the ordinary, incredible soundtracks, a crazy direction by Scorsese, more than perfect interpretations of Di Caprio and the rest of the cast, incredible costumes, a beautiful setting, an incredible plot, continuous twists, a huge writing. Everything in this film is perfect, nothing excluded, indeed, in my opinion there are things that surpass perfection. It is impossible to talk about and discuss this film without spoiling everything that happens during the film. This film is about Teddy Daniels, a federal agent who goes to the asylum on Shutter Island with his new colleague Chuck. Everything that happens then.... I let you find out! The characters are incredible and the evolution of the story and suspense are incredible. The soundtracks make all the scenes tense and full of suspense, even if they would be normal scenes. The special effects present are perfect, they seemed real. This film is a continuous interweaving, you have to be always careful to every little detail, especially in the end, otherwise...you are out of everything: this is just the beauty! I think this film has one of the best twists in the history of cinema, I was shocked. For now it is in my opinion the best of Scorsese and it is one of the 3 best movies I have ever seen.

Crazy.

"Furious 6" is in my opinion a film too much hated and underestimated of this saga. In this film the action scenes are spectacular, absolutely not at the level of the fifth film, but of excellent quality. In this film you can see the sharp change of the franchise, going from the crime of the characters to being heroes: I think it succeeded very well. They made the right choice not to make the actual heroes after a personal choice but with a choice linked to the well-being of the family. It is also clear that in recent films the protagonist is no longer Brian but is Toretto, making the saga much worse, which in my opinion is just right to give some news but.... I love Brian too much. The plot of the film entertained me and interested me, but not as much as the other films, it seemed a little too long, in my opinion it could be shortened a little bit. This film reports Letty, that after the now decreed "fake death" in the fourth chapter of the franchise returns giving a chance to Dominic. I understood this choice very well: Dom would never have returned to his previous life without a shocking family news. I hope, however, that they do not remake it with other characters because otherwise it would become too much science fiction, too many dead-resurrected. I liked the new characters and their in-depth introductions, and Shaw seemed like a pretty motivated antagonist. The actors confirm themselves to be very good. The soundtracks are incredible and I think it also improves photography here. I really enjoyed the final scene of the airport, beautifully organized with perfect soundtracks. The setting of the film is excellently chosen as well as the costumes and cars used are gorgeous. I think that this sixth film of the franchise is too undervalued, in my opinion definitely at the level of previous.

"Fast Five" is so far the best in the franchise with a big gap. In this film you really see the idea of bringing the saga to be an automotive action franchise, and it does it great. This film brings together the main characters of the franchise in an exceptional way and the links between them work perfectly. I really liked the in-depth introduction by Elena, Hobbs and the greater involvement of Gisele. The plot of this film has entertained me a lot and I think for the most part thanks to the beautiful Brazilian setting. The soundtracks of the film are perfect for both the environment and the various moments of the film. It's very good plot writing and how the various characters get involved in the shot and the costumes are perfect for the setting. Lin's direction confirms or even exceeds the excellent work done with the previous 2 films. In my opinion, Vin Diesel plays his character better and better, Paul Walker is a great actor, I liked the performances of Nelsa Pataky and Dwayne Johnson. Gal Gadot confirms herself as a great actress and plays Gisele very well. I love the Roman-Tej couple, especially for their actors, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris, perfect for the role. The hilarious Tego Leo-Santos pair also works perfectly. I also liked the return of Vince, which works well with writing. The ending of the film is spectacular with an incredible soundtrack, I love it, I really enjoy it. The mid-credit is incredibly adrenaline, leaves you speechless. I can't wait to see the sixth film from one of the most spectacular and underrated sagas in film history.

"Breaking Bad" is the best TV show I've ever seen. A TV series that doesn't need words to describe the splendor that this show represents. I was stunned by the characterization and change of characters during the 5 seasons, which are one more beautiful than the other! Walter White I think is one of the best protagonists in the history of cinema and is definitely one of my 3 favorite. Jesse is one of the best deuteragonists that cinema has ever presented, a perfect character. A character that I think is underestimated for the importance it has is Flinn, I love him. I loved Hank Schrader so much and I hated Skyler. Marie is a good character, but I never liked her. Mike is a great character that I can't wait to deepen with "Better Call Saul", and with him also Saul Goodman that I love so much. The various antagonists in the series convinced me a lot, especially Gus Fring, one of the best characters in the series. Gilligan's direction is sensationally beautiful and innovative, he had an incredible idea. The plot is a bomb and his writing is phenomenal. The level of photography is incredible, the images are iconic. EVERYTHING IN THIS TV SERIES IS ICONIC IN THE CINEMA WORLD. I have no words about the actors' interpretations: Bryan Cranston among all played one of the best interpretations of the story, but as he did an excellent job Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odernik, RJ Mitte and all the rest.

Now I talk about each of the 5 seasons: -The first season is in my opinion excessively hated. I loved it! The first episode is amazing and introduces the TV series flawlessly. Everyone says that the first season is very boring and is the worst: in my opinion it is anything but! It's a magnificent first season because it should be seen as an introduction to the huge and perfect story that will develop! It only serves as an introduction, and it does. Perfectly.

-In the second season much more things begin to happen. We are beginning to see the dangerous side of drug trafficking and the troubles that the protagonists will have to face. This season introduces the character of Saul: FUNDAMENTAL!. It took such a weird character to animate the whole thing, and he does it perfectly. I really enjoyed Gus Fring's introduction here. I also liked Jane who gave Jesse a moral boost.

-the third season animates things a lot: you can see the radical change of Walter who realizes that sometimes you don't have to use half measures. It deepens the character of Gus that interested me immediately and I loved the greater family involvement in writing.

-The fourth season, on the other hand, is on the level of perfection: here we can really see that the issues are no longer just related to money but are also beginning to enter the threatening and dramatic side of the series. I loved Jesse's biggest burn and his dramatic deepening. Hank is becoming more and more central in the story and I really liked this choice. This penultimate season I enjoyed a lot.

-I don't want to talk about the fifth season: PERFECTION ON THE SCREEN.

This TV series overwhelmed me, it gave me emotions that I had never felt before. I would pay to see it again as if it were the first time.

FINAL RATING: 10/10.

"Ozymandias" is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. A blend of fantastic emotions, suspense perfectly organized and that makes it perfectly on the viewer. The characters take a resounding turn, especially Flinn, who I consider one of the best characters in film history. The turn that this episode makes the series is sensational, everything changes. At times I was even going to cry.... The thing that makes this episode sensational is the work done in the previous 59 episodes, with a crazy character writing. I was speechless...i The rhythm is perfect, I was never bored, the direction and the photography are incredible.... It would take two assessment tables to evaluate this episode.

. Rating: 11/10, for this product can not be awarded a grade that falls within the 10 scores.

"Fast & Furious" is slightly below the levels of the first three films. Everyone says that this fourth chapter of the saga is a total flop, a bad movie...but I say the opposite. For me Fast and Furious 4 is a great movie, fun and never boring. This is the first film of the new era of the saga, no longer focused on illegal car racing but rightly implements a great change: it becomes an action film, with shootings and much more, always giving more space to cars. According to many the choice to make the saga become an action franchise is bad but I think it's perfect: imagine a saga that for 10 movies always brings the same story about the illegality of motor racing. Well, I would say that it would be quite boring. The plot of the film is the thing that convinced me the least, I think it loses a lot compared to previous films. In contrast, however, I loved the difficult situation that there is between the family Toretto and Brian, but with a nice journey together during the film: the two are a phenonemal couple and together they work perfectly. I also loved the dramatic side of the film with Toretto tight-knit by the police about to get to him. I really liked the direction of Justin Lin that after "Tokyo drift" reconfirms with excellent action scenes. I think Vin Diesel improves his performance and with him Brian becomes even better in my opinion. I liked the inclusion of Gisele played by the beautiful Gal Gadot. I liked the film's antagonist, Braga, played well by John Ortiz. The film's photography is still excellent in this fourth chapter. The ending of the film really gets me excited about the fifth film, which I can't wait to see again.

. Rating: 8.4/10.

"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" is a movie bomb. A completely different plot from the first 2 films with a story set in the future. The beauty of this movie is that you could also see it without watching the saga, although you would not understand the ending, which I really liked and has a crazy soundtrack. In my opinion the film really comes to life in its second part, the first is a bit more boring, the second is spectacular. Even here the characters are introduced very well: the best for me is Han, simple but essential, with a great interpretation of Sung Kang. I also liked D. K. with a great interpretation of Brian Tee and Twinkie of Bow Bow. One character that I never fully appreciated in all the visions of this film is Neela, she never gave me anything. The protagonist Sean has convinced me a lot and I can't wait to see him with Brian and Dom. The direction of Justin Lin in my opinion exceeds that of the first two chapters with many spectacular shots and has organized the film very well. In my opinion this is (compared to the first two films) the one with the best car races. I also liked the photography a lot. The most beautiful thing about this film are the soundtracks, unforgettable and perfect for the fantastic Tokyo setting. In my opinion this film, like the whole saga, is too underrated, these films are bombs and if they are seen to have fun and see the beautiful action scenes are masterpieces, stop. I never get tired of this movie, even if I've seen it five times.

2 Fast 2 Furious" is a great sequel, at the levels of the first. The most beautiful thing about this movie is Roman Pearce, one of my 3 favorite characters of the franchise: it makes me laugh and really excited, especially thanks to the wonderful performance of Tyrese Gibson. Also the introduction of other characters, like Tej, is excellent. In my opinion, this point is one of the advantages of this franchise: the perfect insertion of their characters. The actors also do a good job here, but I think it is much less than the first film. Singleton's directing applies to the franchise and I think it does a better job than Cohen's in the first chapter. In my opinion, photography is also of a higher level than the first film. In this film the same technique is used as the prequel: simple and good plot, simple and good writing below. Result: great choice. As I repeat, to be a good racing movie you don't have to have a shocking plot with twists or a very original plot never seen, just entertain the viewer by showing the interesting part of the movie: cars and racing, and this movie does it great! I had a great time, with action scenes not only series but with many comic sides! All due to the presence of the already nominated Roman, the driver of the film. This may have been minimal my personal fifth vision of this film, but it amused me as if it were the first, just like the first film, but like the whole saga, that never tires me.

.Rating: 8.8/10.

"The Fast and the Furious" is a great opening film. A crazy movie full of moments that get you pumping. The idea of street racing is so cool! The introduction of what is currently one of the most iconic franchises in the history of cinema is really well made. They have very well introduced the plot of the saga, the characters are fantastic and I love them to madness, especially now that I have seen these films so many times that I know them by heart. Dominic is a badass and I get so excited and played by Vin Diesel is literally an iconic god of cinema. But Brian is my favorite character and I think it's influenced by the presence of Paul Walker, who I love so much. I loved Mia, Letty, Jesse, Vince and the others, too. I liked the fact of inserting a short plot with a simple and therefore excellent writing, so as to give maximum minutage to the automotive action scenes, the true essence of the film. Cohen's direction is good, and so is photography. The rhythm is almost excellent, you will not get bored practically ever, especially for the choice not to last even this saga an infinity of unnecessary hours but to make the visions pleasant and smooth. The music is great and intersects perfectly with the plot and the setting is also great. The costumes are perfect for the film and I especially love Toretto's ouftit. The ending of the film is great. One thing not to be underestimated and that makes the film even more beautiful is the presence of fabulous machines with aesthetics out of the ordinary. After this vision I reassessed the film even more positively, now I really know it by heart, but from how much I enjoy this saga, each time I will watch it as if it were the first.

. Rating: 9/10.

"The Fall Guy" is a great action comedy. The word of mouth of this film is not very positive and therefore I went to the cinema without expectations, only with the thought of having fun and a little fun. But it turned out to be something else! This film perfectly mixes action and comedy through the great work done by the actors, with Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson at high levels and who perfectly interpret their characters. The surprising thing about this film is that it is a film inside the film: this movie is about Colt, a stuntman, who after a serious accident retires. One day, however, he returns to the track with a new job offer and this will lead him to reconcile with many old friends and to live dangerous and unforgettable adventures. In fact, the weak points of the film are the plot and the writing, very simple, but I don't think they are ugly, on the contrary, I liked them. And then, to be clear, these films do not need an incredible plot, the important thing is that they are films that entertain the viewer with a bit of madness! The characters are all beautifully characterized and in-depth and I loved the friendship and romance between Colt and Jody, a perfect couple. But I also loved Dan thanks to the performance of Winston Duke that always drives me crazy, I laughed like a child. Also in my opinion in this film there is also drama and sadness, mixed perfectly and there is a scene on which I was going to cry, an unforgettable scene. The rhythm of the film is absurd, there was not a moment when I got bored. Leitch's direction is excellent with an incredible photograph, in my opinion this film and "Bullet Train" are on the same level, perhaps slightly higher for the soundtracks, the best point of the film. I loved the ending and this movie is probably one of my "comfort films". I can't wait to see it again digitally.

"A Clockwork Orange" is really strange...but really cool! Kubrick is literally a genius. Each of his films has an incredibly original story, never seen anything like that! Especially this film has an incredibly strange and unusual plot. This film is about Alex, a boy who commits criminal acts and all forms of violence with three friends. One day he is arrested and subjected to a treatment that conditions him not to use violent methods of all kinds. When he gets out of jail, every person who's ever been raped by Alex comes back to bite him in the ass. A totally brilliant plot. Kubrick's direction is crazy and watching this movie I was amazed that it was made in the 70s! The costumes are amazing, maybe the most iconic thing in the movie. Also the fear and anxiety that gave me the look of Alex is incredible: I think his gaze is one of the most iconic faces in the history of cinema. And then the actors: Malcolm McDowell is perfect in the role of Alex and his other friends in the film are also interpreted perfectly! The characters are great and the film is dragged by Alex, that makes the film a joy for the eyes. Another perfection are the music: constant, exciting and that go very well with the strangeness of the plot. Also the setting and photography are excellent, especially considering that the film is quite old. In the film there are many amazing details, such as the fact that the characters all speak in a colloquial way with an ancient and cultured language, and the song "Singin' in the rain"...(and I say no more). In addition, although it lasted almost 2 and a half hours, the film entertained me a lot. The ending is ultra interesting and I managed to understand it. I will definitely see again this strange and incredibly disturbing film.

. Rating: 9.9/10.

There are no words to describe this film. A masterpiece in every sense. It is not one of those films that is exalted for the special effects, the famous actors in the cast or some other factors: this is a film that is exalted for the great message that leaves the viewer and for the strong topics covered. First of all I say that this is one of those films that "flew" while watching: at the end of the film I said "Is it already finished?". I'd watch it a thousand more times and it would go faster and faster, I wasn't bored for a second. The plot of the film is overwhelming especially in that it is drawn from actual events. The writing of the film is phenomenal, especially for the choice of inserting the times at which each scene begins so as to make the viewer understand how much time passes from one event to another and how much time is missing at the end of the film. The actors were atomic, unquestionably perfect performances, especially in my opinion that of Vincent Cassel, but also Said and Hubert were great, like everyone in the cast. The main characters and present throughout the film are only three, Vinz, Said and Hubert, but these three are fantastic! I also liked the other characters even if only seen for a few minutes. The direction of Kassovitz is incredible, it kept me glued to the screen for the duration with breathtaking shots, and also the photography is fantastic, especially for the choice of making everything in black and white making the film even more dramatic and stronger than it already is. The ending took me by surprise, I was shocked and amazed. For now this is the best movie I've ever seen. I conclude with this film quote: "The problem is not the fall, but the landing." .

Rating: 10/10.

Challengers is a great movie. After seeing some ratings and reviews on the web I started to have high expectations about the film, and let's say they were paid back in full. Challengers is a film that in my opinion does not have a precise plot: it is a set of 3 different stories. The friendship between Art and Patrick, the love of the 2 towards Tashi and the sporting part of tennis. From my point of view, the best 3 points of the film are the actors, but above all the fabulous direction and music. Guadagnino makes, in my opinion, a space film, with a different and original direction. An example of this is framing during tennis matches, with first-person looks during the game. The actors, especially Zendaya, play their role. My favorite is Patrick, although in the movie he does not exactly play the role of the good. The writing of the film is excellent, I also really liked the fact that each flashback is specified the date of the scene, so as to make the viewer understand the period of the moment. In fact, this story does not follow a chronological order, it is a continuous going from the present to the past explaining the stories of the various characters. The costumes are great and also the setting satisfied me a lot, as well as the photography, excellent, especially in the colors. I also liked the fact of inserting the intimate component between the protagonists but never explicit nude scenes. I really liked the ending and it has a deep meaning according to my point of view. I widely believe that he will be nominated for some Oscar awards, among all the areas I believe more in those of directing and music, but I think there would be a candidacy for some actors. In case you're not nominated for any awards, I'd consider it a scandal. I'll be happy to see this movie again when I get the chance.

I loved this remake of the Ghostbusters by female protagonists. I've seen this movie so many times and when I saw it, I still remembered all the scenes and all the jokes. A film that even knowing it by heart has never aged in my eyes. I don't understand why everyone thinks this remake sucks. I think this movie is a good movie about Ghostbusters, with nice funny characters and a good plot. This is a much more wacky and superhero Ghostbusters, with scenes that sometimes seem like you're watching the Avengers, but you're actually watching some great Ghostbusters action scenes. The leading actresses have been good in their parts, although sometimes there were really awkward moments both at the film and dubbing level. Personally I was more excited by Kate McKinnon and Leslie, the latter super nice. My favorite character is Patty, super nice and I always enjoyed every joke. I also liked the other protagonists, especially Jillian, and also loved Kevin played very well by Chris Hemsworth, hilarious! The villain of the film convinced me and I was so afraid simply by the face of the actor, Neil Casey. The direction of Paul Feig I consider personally good level, but especially the photography: in some scenes the colors and the sharpness of the image were incredible, for example in the final battle. The special effects of the movie are excellent, the ghosts look real! I think the writing of the film discreet but I would have avoided some things, such as the inclusion of the original actors of the saga: it's a remake, putting them makes no sense! The costumes and setting are excellent. One thing that made me turn my nose a bit is the remake of the soundtrack, but all in all I accept it. I was quite satisfied with the ending. I can't wait to see the film, AGAIN!

"Ghostbusters II" is a cute sequel. Unfortunately nothing special. There are incredible peaks in some aspects of the film, but there are aspects that completely lower the level. I would say to start from the negative aspects. First of all, the plot: I honestly think it's very ugly and I've never been fond of it. Also the rhythm, sometimes I got bored! I don't think they even made a breakthrough in writing, which I also think is not good. Another negative aspect is that of the action: unfortunately the film devotes very little to the real heart of this genre: ghosts! All because of having a plot that has nothing to do with ghosts. Unfortunately I didn't even love the setting, which I loved in the first movie. Unfortunately I didn't like the ending either. Finally, it didn't excite me and gave me the chills like the first movie, but also just like Frozen Empire, the latest movie. Also, I think the return of the Ghostbusters to business was foolish and too simple. Now to the positive aspects: the director, good level, the actors still excellent, the best in this film were for me once again Bill Murray, but I would give the best award to Rick Monaris who played very well Louis, which makes me laugh a lot. As just mentioned, another point in favor is the fun, but in levels and consistency much lower than the first film. Once again I praise the music, the most beautiful thing of the Ghostbusters movies. I also liked the costumes so much and the special effects are good, but not like those of the first movie. In my opinion, changes and innovations were needed to keep it up. But, all in all, I think it's a nice sequel.

. Rating: 7.6/10.

"The Godfather: Part II" is a quite perfect movie. A perfect and wonderful film from every point of view: Coppola's direction is exceptional, as is photography. On the plot I do many compliments for a simple reason: they understood that to make a sequel at the levels or even better than the first, you had to insert something that did not make the plot of the films equal and monotonous. For this reason they decided to deepen the past of the great Vito Corleone and explain his story: I think it was done excellently. De Niro plays the young Vito Corleone excellently, but never as the unreachable Vito Corleone of Marlon Brando. Al Pacino plays here one of the most important and perfect interpretations of the history of cinema with his Michael Corleone, one of the most iconic and memorable characters in history. I also really liked all the other actors present. The point in favor of this second chapter compared to the first is the rhythm: this second film, even being longer, has been in my eyes much smoother. I also liked the writing of the film more. I loved the many twists and also the transition between quiet scenes to violent and incisive scenes: they were phenomenal. I loved the characters and their gorgeous outfits. I really liked the character of Fredo Corleone, more in depth, and I loved the development and change of the relationship with his brother Michael. I also liked the idea of inserting a familiar twist of the protagonist and the scenes with it are incredible. The music of the film is indescribable: iconic, beautiful and perfectly matches the theme. The setting is also perfect and finally, I loved the ending of the movie. I can't wait to see the third movie.

. Rating: 10/10.

Ghostbusters is a great movie, super fun, with a very original and fabulous plot. The characters are iconic and super funny, my favorite is Venkman, too amazing, obviously helped by the great interpretation of Bill Murray. But I also loved the other Ghostbusters: Spengler, Ray, but also the newcomer Zeddemore, nice from the first moment. The soundtrack is fantastic and makes me feel absurd emotions, I think it is one of my 5 favorite soundtracks of all time. I really liked the writing of the film and the way the situation evolves. I also liked the fact that I explained every Ghostbusters device with every feature. Ghosts are beautiful, my favorite is Slimer, then follows the Marshmallow Man. I also really liked the actors, they pushed their character with even just facial expressions. Being a film of the 80s, the special effects are of a high level: obviously seeing it today you can see very much the disjunctivity of the movements and the fake monsters, but when you watch an old movie, you have to look at it with the eyes of the people of those times. I think the level of direction and photography is good and I loved the costumes and the setting, the Ghostbusters headquarters is iconic. I have nothing to say except: "Watch this movie and you will love the saga".

"Ghostbusters - Frozen Empire" is overhated. This fifth Ghostbusters film is a good movie, but everyone hates it: instead, I liked it, so much. In this film I experienced many emotions: there are sad and moving moments, others have amused me a lot, others really excited me. This film focuses a lot on fan service: it tries to refer to many links with previous films and does it very well. Other highlights of the film are the special effects, fabulous and perfect, the music, always beautiful and original, and the characters, excellent, my absolute favorite is Venkman, I love it. I also liked the direction, good, but especially the photography, beautiful. The actors were also good, especially Paul Rudd and Bill Murray. The plot is good and simple and I think it was the best choice, sometimes you don't need the most beautiful plot in the world, but just be logical and sensible. The film is also well written. The antagonist of the film, Garraka, I loved it, menacing and gloomy. The film entertained me the right, in my opinion the duration could be disposed of enough. The setting is beautiful and also the costumes, which give crazy vibes. The ending of the film made me shiver, very emotional. Few movies can give me the same emotions that the Ghostbusters soundtrack can give me. The post-credit scene is nice but I would have expected something less fun and more threatening and incisive. I can't wait to see when the next movie comes out.

"The Godfather" is a masterpiece. After a long time of waiting I was able to see this acclaimed film, and I must say that the high ratings I noticed are absolutely not wrong. In this film everything is perfect: the actors are the best point in favor of the film, Marlon Brando among all, incredible. Also Al Pacino, James Caan and everyone else have been excellent in their roles. The characters are iconic, everyone! Starting from Don Vito Corleone, one of the characters I love most in the history of cinema (all due especially from the huge performance of Brando), to Michael Corleone, also excellent. The direction of Coppola is incredible as well as the photography, the film also for this factor has always entertained me while lasting 3 hours, which are not heavy. This last factor, that of rhythm, is mainly due to the excellent plot and the excellent writing made and thought. For the '70s, the quality of the music, like photography, vocal audio and special effects are fantastic. During the movie there is a lot of suspense, especially in the movie end, which is excellent. I loved very much the fact that they wanted to insert strong and touching scenes not limited even to the level of cruelty and topics treated, that are very interesting. The setting is perfect for the genre and the costumes as well. I can't wait to complete the trilogy, I expect a lot after this movie.

The Green Mile has shocked me. This film is tremendously emotional, simply cinema. Every sector of this film is incredible. The plot is fabulous and original, the writing of the film is amazing. The directing is phenomenal and the photography too. The actors are colossal, especially Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan, simply phenomenal. The latter, simply through facial expressions and his wonderful acting, conveyed in me what his character felt. Michael Clark Duncan as John Coffrey is a perfect character. Like him those of Paul Edgecombe, William Wharton and Percy Wetmore; also all the other characters I haven't mentioned are incredible. The costumes are phenomenal and the setting also: all 3 hours of viewing are practically always centered in the prison, but never bored. Always talking about the duration, the 3 hours initially might seem heavy, but they fly. The end of the film is simply cinema: incredible emotions. I don't know what to say anymore because in my opinion it would be enough to say: MASTERPIECE.

Godzilla vs. Kong is a tremendous wasted opportunity. This epic clash between the most famous titans of cinema could have been a memorable film over time and instead disappointed me. A film enough for the broken headphones that does not exalt the true protagonists of the story, the 2 titans, still focusing on humans and technology. The plot did not convince me at all like the writing. The directing, the action and the photography are good but not as I expected. The special effects are good and so is CGI. In this film the characters are acceptable even if I didn't give a damn about anyone because I wanted to see the titans fight. They still don't understand that the people who are interested in these films want to see them only for the titans and not for anything else. They dedicate little time to the action by tightening the timing of the fights to a minimum. The actors were acceptable and I was not excited, excluding Brian Tyree Henry who made me smile, thank you. I have nothing more to say because when I'm disappointed in a film that I consider a waste my mind can not produce words that are not vulgar and I'm sorry that it went like this for this film because I wanted to see it for so long. This movie is already forgotten by my mind.

"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" is finally the movie everyone was waiting to see. After the disappointment I felt in "Godzilla vs. Kong" I got my eyes back with healthy and hard fights. Finally they understood that in these films the majority of the duration must be occupied by the titans, that is THE PROTAGONISTS. They finally figured it out, even if there are some nice mistakes. As in the entire Monsterverse saga the special effects are great but in this movie I noticed a huge improvement. The photography, the setting and the direction are beautiful, as well as the many emotions present. The action level is incredible and exciting, with every punch being dropped by the characters my smile was printed on my face. The new titans in there are beautiful, and they really got me going. Also finally after the (in my opinion) failure of the film that inaugurated this Monsterverse, "Godzilla", here you see the true power of the titan with all its explosiveness. Now to the mistakes: the plot initially seemed as simple as I wanted and good entertainment, but then as always they went to ruin with the inclusion of mythology at random, horrible, senseless and poorly explained. Also another thing that I didn't like are the actors, sometimes the situation had become a bit embarrassing, excluding Brian Tyree Henry who always makes so much smile. One thing that I liked is the comedy, many scenes have led me to smile so much. If they have to go on (as I think they do) with the saga, I hope they will do it with this level or maybe improving. So far, "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" is for me the best movie in the saga.

Godzilla is a movie that has never attracted me so much and after seeing it I had the confirmation, it is not a good movie. Godzilla is a film in which you almost never see Godzilla. The plot is unclear and sometimes extremely boring with dramatic notes inserted on the human protagonists, of which I do not care anything! A Godzilla movie must be an action-packed movie and you can't give 3/4 of the duration to humans and their relationships and instead only a few moments to the real interesting part of the movie: Godzilla, because that's the truth. The cast is good, Bryan Cranston makes a great performance but also Elizabeth Olsen and CJ Adams have made a good impression. The characters are not even ugly but sometimes they also interest and the dramatic notes feel, although some deaths are really poorly organized. The special effects are good even if sometimes CGI lacks a bit. The action and photography are beautiful and chari and also the setting and costumes are good. Now let's move on to the problems, which are big: as I said, the plot, useless for this film and I did not arouse interest, the writing, horrendous, in many points of the film you could not perceive anything, the rhythm, the film is of an absurd boring. But now the biggest mistake, which, as already mentioned, is to make a film about Godzilla in which we talk about everything but Godzilla. During the film I was just waiting to see the titan in action but they have inserted very little and in my opinion in a very wasted way. I think this new Godzilla movie is a tremendous missed opportunity. I don't think I'll see this movie again.
