Spider-Man (2002)

Tobey Maguire is the one and only Spider-Man

[8/10 · 21 August 2022]

I've watched this movie plenty of times and, yes, I definitely think that Tobey Maguire is the only actor who best embodies Spider-Man. Why am I so sure? Because Tobey isn't playing the shy nerd; he is really a shy nerd just like Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire played the shy, wishy-washy, Charlie Brown-like character in other important movies such as The Cider House Rules and Pleasantville and yet in all these movies he's also wise. He's the ideal next door guy , the next door superhero. I praise the performance of the other actors of this great movie of course.

Beowulf (2007)

Faithful to the Anglo-Saxon poem

[8/10 · 19 August 2022]

I appreciate this movie for being faithful to Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon poem. The efforts made by the creators of this movie are praiseworthy The performances of the actors voicing the characters are flawless.

Nell (1994)

Jodie, you deserved that third Oscar !!

[9/10 · 24 July 2022]

I've always loved this movie. Jodie's performance is absolutely unsurpassable She had worked so hard and she had been so great and who who the Academy Award? Jessica Lange for a forgettable movie like Blue Sky. If I were Jodie , I'd still be angry about the loss even if so many years have passed.

Bananas (1971)

Boring and not funny at all

[3/10 · 8 June 2022]

I have just finished watching this movie. It was boring and not funny at all. It makes think that if all the old movies directed and played by Woody Allen are as disappointing as this one, well , I' m happy not to have watched them.

Taxi (I) (2004)

Ok I saw it again............evidently it sucks

[5/10 · 9 December 2021]

It's impossibile to appreciate this movie. Gisele's legs and charisma are not enough to save this silly movie . The only positive thing is that Jimmy Fallon has become one of Gisele's best friends after this movie , if I'm not mistaken Lucky him , although Tom Brad is luckier than him.

End of Days (1999)

Arnie kicks the devil's butt !

[7/10 · 10 October 2021]

Frankly I don't understand the negative reviews. Maybe this is due to the fact that I watched this movie in Italian and our dubbers are extraordinary, Anyway I think the movie is enjoyable and even funny I didn't not buy the DVD but I watched it more than once.

Contagion (2011)

When reality is scarier than a movie

[6/10 · 9 April 2020]

When you are a child , you are afraid of watching movies dealing with vampires or witches. When you become adult you're afraid of the Exorcist But when reality kills more than fiction as it's happening these days because of Corona virus, no possessed little girl can scare me , nor even this movie simply because it's a movie and nobody really dies. They find a cure for the disease very soon which is not happening these days When we learnt about the virus we hoped everything could finish very soon and I decided to watch this movie again because i've already enjoyed it It was realistic and I had fun Nowadays I'm not laughing anymore

Hustlers (2019)

Keep on dancing and singing , J.Lo!

[3/10 · 8 March 2020]

Hustlers is so disappointing , it's boring It looks as if you 've seen this kind of movie several times . J.Lo should really quit acting She's a great performer as far as singing and dancing are concerned but she ain't the acting but at all

Crawl (I) (2019)

A typical summer movie

[6/10 · 24 December 2019]

I think this movie must be watched for what it is : something you watch without thinking about the plot whether it's convincing or not , whether the performance of the actors is good or not. It's the typical movie you watch in summer or if there's nothing else to watch on tv

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

IT LASTS TOO LONG FOR WHAT IT IS

[5/10 · 16 August 2019]

The plot is quite unimportant, Cara is a hot babe truly truly hot, The same can be said of Riri (Rihanna) I like the visual effects That's all

Fourteen Hours (1951)

A good idea for Nando Mericoni !

[6/10 · 20 July 2019]

I don't know this movie very well, I don't think this movie is famous in Italy if not for its wallpaper which appears in a very famous Italian movie called "Un americano a Roma" starring great Alberto Sordi. His character looks at the picture and decides to do the same thing the protagonist did climbing up the Coliseum in Rome "Fourteen Hours" 's cast is undoubtedly important but if you asked anyone in Italy, if they remember this movie, they'd answer it's important for its wallpaper

Little Italy (2018)

Neverending stereotypes !

[4/10 · 28 April 2019]

I hadn't seen a movie with Hayden Chirstensen for a very long time I had appreciated his performance in Jumper So why did he accept to star in this b-movie stuffed with stereotypes concerning Italy and Italians. Why do the foreigners think that Italy is like this and Italians behave like this ? I mean thanks to the Internet they should have learnt much more about my country. Hey Alyssa Milano: go back and prepare potions as Phoebe don't try cookery anylonger !

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

This film sucks..............that's all

[1/10 · 3 February 2019]

What else could I say? The plot is absurd , the acting is bad, it's a wast of time There's nothing else to say

The Blind Side (2009)

Stereotypes rule over this movie and make it be unwatchable

[1/10 · 16 September 2018]

I found this movie really unpleasant It's a journey back in time when black people were like "The Muggles" in Harry Potter movies, the kind woman who protects the good big black guy is a jump back in time in the history of movies concerning the rights of black people; as if To Kill a Mockingbird , Guess who's coming to dinner or The Color Purple had never been made I disagree with Bullock having been awarded Actually the only two or these movies where I appreciated her were Demolition Man, Miss Detective and Practical Magic I think that she's overrated

Revenge (II) (2017)

More a fantasy movie rather than a revenge movie

[7/10 · 12 September 2018]

I'm ready to agree with people who believe in the so called "suspension of disbelief". But if you take into account the amount of blood that comes out of the the girl's belly , come on, this is more a fantasy movie rather than a revenge movie The negative message it gives is that thanks to a particular drug, the girl becomes almost invincible if not immortal I don't know if the director of this movie is aware of it Matilda is hot and convincing and this movie will boost her career probably; but I'm afraid she could be typecast considering the fact she enjoys boxing .It'd be a pity.. I wish her all the best

Dead Poets Society (1989)

Unjustly overrated movie

[1/10 · 30 July 2018]

My motto is : in order to be a good teacher , tell your students to do one only thing shut up and study , study and shut up If someone wastes his time trying to convince people his ideas work whereas the ideas of the other teachers don't, that man/woman is not a teacher He's a dictator I've always hated late robin Williams anyway

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

When villainesses matter...

[1/10 · 15 July 2018]

I knew this movie 'd not work. Sofia Boutella had been the main reason why the previous installment had been successful As a matter of fact this movie made her become famous Perhaps the choice of the director of making her character "die" in the previous movie (spoilers) , was unwise

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Waste of money :(

[1/10 · 14 May 2015]

I regret watching this movie Nonsensical plot, no clever dialogues, it a Hong Kong b-movie is much more interesting than this In my opinion, in comparison to this movie, Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 and Spawn deserved Academy Awards. Charlize Theron kicks ass but only too seldom, the make up doesn't hide her beauty in this case as it had happened in Monster . Wouldn't it have been more interesting to see her fight vs those goons?. As for the goons, their make-up reminded me of the mutant species of vampires in Blade 2 Tom Hardy? What can we say about him? Several reviewers wrote he was a promising young actor. Is it still so after his lame performance ? This movie doesn't deserve any star. A star is too much, I hope no one will think of doing Mad Max Fury Road 2 i think it'd be a further waste of time and money. Just to be precise: I watched this movie in Italian but I think no one can blame the dubbers, they simply dubbed nonsensical dialogues That's all
