Animali fantastici - I segreti di Silente Seven oN ★ 8
Ah, and here we again have a great and magical adventure, that equals the first movie. If it weren’t for Johnny Depp being replaced by Mads Mikkelsen (a great actor imo but not in the magical world) I would again have given it 9/10. 0
Animali fantastici e dove trovarli Seven oN ★ 9
Rewatch and I loved it as much as the first time. The images and music really take you to a world of magic. The characters are interesting and (most of them) lovely. The storyline kept me engaged throughout. On to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald! 0
Non ti presento i miei Seven oN ★ 7
Maybe it’s worth 7/10 stars but all the negative reviews just make me angry. Just taking one side of the story, not empathizing with the other, isn’t that why there’s so much misunderstanding and even hatred going around. I think this was actually one of the better Christmas movies: humor, love, forgiveness, family and, in the end, mutual understanding or at least the willingness to understand the other, together with a good premise + plot to convey it and fine acting make this a thoroughly enjoyable movie. 0
The Creator Seven oN ★ 9
This movie has some good but also some very bad reviews which I just don’t understand. Void of emotion? Bad script? I experienced quite the opposite: a heartbreaking movie, with a gripping narrative, beautiful acting and a strong message about the callousness of human kind against everything we don’t fully understand, always feeling superior. It shows how easy it is to believe everything you’ve been told… until you experience otherwise that is. Beautiful movie which had me gripped from the start till the end! 0
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Parte uno Seven oN ★ 9
High action movie with a gripping narrative, good pace, humor and chemistry between the characters. A long movie but it definitely didn’t feel like it! Love Benji and Luther! Edit: And the message after I posted my review! 💜💜💜😂 0
Nessuno ti salverà Seven oN ★ 6
Great potential, both in theme/premise (how to love and forgive yourself) and execution. However, though conveying the theme/premise without the use of words sounds interesting, here it felt very unnatural and forced. Also, it left too much unexplained, which may have been on purpose, but too much of anything is never a good thing. The same goes for the middle part: about an hour of run-hide-run-hide repetitions. So enjoyable enough but it didn’t quite realise its potential. 0
Sound of Freedom - Il canto della libertà Seven oN ★ 8
Very powerful, though heartbreaking and heavy movie with an important message. Those children(’s acting) really touched my heart and soul. The message at the end though was not necessary imo. Also it’s an incomplete message. I can understand they want to raise awareness of how big of a problem child trafficking is, children being used in the sex industry and the need for law enforcement from different countries working together better, but what can I /we do as “simple citizens”?? Also, the leading actor and perhaps the agent his character is based on, seem to be problematic. The actor has been a prominent promoter of the false, violent QAnon conspiracy theory. The formal federal agent the character is based on as well as the film distributor reject any of the conspiracy theories. Though apparently the agent has recently said that (the abduction and killing of children for) the harvesting of a substance called adrenochrome, is real. The movie itself however has nothing to do with QAnon, it does not have any references to any conspiracy theories and was even filmed before QAnon started (source: NPR). Another criticism is the amount of fictionalization of the true events. As if Ballard would be able to take up a whole crime syndicate on his own. The studio acknowledges taking "creative liberties."(source: NPR). Well, no surprise there. This isn’t the only studio doing this and they never made the claim that this was a documentary instead of a (dramatized) movie based on true events. So imo still a good movie and most definitely worth the watch. 0
Dear David Seven oN ★ 6
Ok, maybe not the best of movies but definitely not the worst! Actual topic, interesting premise, definitely horror instead of drama as some reviews state. Enjoyable enough. Maybe, just maybe, it’s rather a 5/10 instead of a 6/10 but I definitely feel the need to compensate for the horrible reviews… 0
Assassinio a Venezia Seven oN ★ 8
I’ll have to subtract a star from my rating cause this movie strays away from the book so much, that it can hardly be called an adaptation. As a movie on its own I really liked it though. Part mystery, part “horror”, it kept me hooked from start till end, giving me the occasional goosebumps. Definitely worth while the watch! 0
Simulant - Il futuro è per sempre Seven oN ★ 6
Enjoyable enough movie about the dangers of AI. No great surprises, except for the simulant killing his “wife” which at the end made sense. Illustrates the importance of equality/feeling like equals in any kind of relationship. 0
Guardiani della Galassia Vol. 3 Seven oN ★ 9
Again, I loved this movie. I was so afraid this would be the last one but apparently more are coming, yay! I do hope it’s with the whole gang. Cause it’s the gang that evokes all these emotions: joy, happiness, grief, sadness, anger, frustration, hate, etc etc. Loved to get to know more about Rocket’s past, it was heartbreaking. Definitely looking forward to the next installment! 0
Humandroid Seven oN ★ 8
Wow, so many themes, thoughts and emotions , just don’t know where to start… A small selection: - The impact of upbringing on the “clean slate” of a new borne. - The impact of social and economic status on life style and upbringing. - The inner vs the outer self, being different, being judged because of your outer self and being different. And being hurt just because of that, and despite having a beautiful inner self. I cried so much for Chappie! - It’s not all black and white, even when talking about crimes, good vs evil. I laughed, I cried, I even came to love the “gangsta’s”. Loved how the love and goodness of Chaplin changed even Ninja. He not only got to know love but got to protect “his child”. His last a sorry was a true, heart felt one. 💜 0
Un amore all'improvviso Seven oN ★ 8
Great adaptation. Of course parts are missing cause you just can’t depict a whole book in 1 ¾ of an hour. The time travel particularities are even more of a question mark in the movie than the book. Nonetheless, I loved the emotions and relationships portrayed. 0
