We are talking about an animated series of films that has never disappointed the public, on the contrary, the more the sequels went on, the more memorable the enemies became and the in-depth analysis of the characters was truly and effectively explored. In short we can say that I personally find the first 3 chapters to be masterpieces despite their strengths and weaknesses and I admit that when they announced a "Kung Fu Panda 4" I was in ecstasy and when I saw the very first trailer with the return of the main enemies from the first film I was literally exploded with joy but above all with curiosity. Now I've just finished watching it and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed but at the same time I don't consider it to be up to par with the other chapters as it's missing some things that characterized and differentiated "Kung Fu Panda" from other cartoons. First of all, I'll start by saying that the plot is very simple and some twists are quite obvious, the villain is very handsome and very cool but at the same time they don't give him much space to try to characterize him a little more. In fact, one of the problems (absurdly) is the lack of characterization of the villain who, despite potentially being the most dangerous of all, ultimately makes him look like a normal level enemy. At the end of watching the film I asked myself: "Is the plan of this film to close the circle of the series?", and actually there is no answer as even the ending, if desired, could close the whole circle but at the same time time could open up ideas for spin-offs. In my opinion a closure with this chapter could be right and well managed as he finds himself faced with all his most fearsome enemies but I fear that they also have other plans in mind and I admit that it scares me a little because already with this film you see that the quality has dropped slightly and I'm afraid that the further we go the worse it will be. In conclusion I can say that it is an excellent film for children but impossible to compare to previous masterpieces.

And here we are talking about the umpteenth film of one of the sagas that for better or worse left a mark in the history of cinema for its special effects that for the time were really advanced, too bad that this film (for visual quality) is inferior to the previous titles. The plot is really very simple but in the end functional although there are some scenes in particular so in the final scenes that made me put my hands in the hair for example the whole sequence regarding the armor for Noah that I found it simply a joke and likewise I considered the cameo of G. I. JOE. After all, there is not much to say because there are few things you can fully appreciate, let's say that the design of the robots are very beautiful and visually is not even terrible because the combat scenes are well managed and well shot. The soundtracks are cute, nothing epic but cute from with some tiny reference to the original soundtrack that I admit has put a slight goosebumps. One thing that I really liked absurdly was the main villain that although it is not very thorough, is really threatening and especially ruthless, this villain is almost better than the Megatron of the original trilogy (not for appearance but for concept). In the end, however, it is a film that makes you watch quietly without much expectation.

We are faced with the best (for now) film adaptation of a video game, what we have in front of is literally the video game in every way. Let's analyze this series calmly, first of all we can say that the music is well suited, from goosebumps and especially often music becomes a "secondary character"I was particularly impressed by the use of music in the final scene in the hospital where Joel massacres everyone. The cast is perfect even if Bella Ramsey say that not very similar to Ellie, but despite this we say that there is not too much lingering. While the rest of the cast is simply stellar as if the characters of the video game had come out to appear in the series. On the plot there is nothing to say, simply majestic as the video game, well adapted and faithful to the video game product. Now let's talk about the thing that would have worried me most and that is the realization of the infected, absurdly these monsters are made too much but really too well, I was amazed by the quality of this series. This series is a spectacle for the eyes with brilliant shots and breathtaking settings. I have only one concern at the moment, I'm afraid I'm not ready to see THAT scene in season 2, now we are all too attached.

At first glance it may seem like a "simple" stalking story with disturbing and inhuman nuances, but what we're looking at really happened and the more I watched this series the more I realized how sick mankind can be. Each episode is a punch to the stomach and despite this I finished the series in a day without even realizing. This story is really heartbreaking and in this series we see (in my opinion) one of the most destructive/ disturbing scenes of the last years, not so much for the images as for the concept, and I'm referring to the scene of the monologue at the final of the competition for comedians, That speech literally destroyed me. In general it is a series that shows a lot of the brutality and exploitation that the protagonist has passed and really comes to ask himself:" but how is this possible?" , Speaking instead of the technical side of the series is not bad at all on the contrary, the staging of some explicit scenes are well jousted with games of "see-see" accompanied by disturbing soundtracks when needed. Truly a very nice series and well built without neglecting any detail thanks to a perfect use of flashbacks. I recommend everyone the vision because you will not feel great for a few hours.

Let's say I would have liked to see a movie about Pasolini, and actually that's what we saw but, unfortunately, it's not what I imagined. Let's say that too many things happen without explanation in a short time, in my opinion the ideal would have been maybe to make it last half an hour more but maybe analyze more the life of Pasolini and not just death. Very nice the fact that there are clips of "Salò or the 120 days of Sodom", the cast of this film is perfect, nothing to say about the technique of the film that still does not dare too much but still does its own. Let's say that the film itself is beautiful but I really had other expectations, probably my fault because I get my head up but if you make a film about Pasolini I want to see life, death and miracles of that artist with the "A" capital, instead here show us only the last 2/3 days. Hats off to the actors because they were all really perfect not to mention the mother in the final scene that manages to convey 100% the pain even to those watching through a screen, I personally was moved.

This is a very special film, perfect on many points of view with really small and laughable problems. Let's start by saying that it has a truly original plot with a staging and direction not just a little bit indeed really superb, with a use of soundtracks really so apt that they can convey the right emotions in the right moments. There is really little to say about this film because it leaves literally speechless and it is really a well-built film also narrative speaking with very interesting ideas with scenes of action well managed especially scenographically speaking with the movements of really interesting room. Not to mention the plot and the general story that almost leads you to empathize with Douglas, the peculiarity of this narrative is that it really goes through the sad moments of his life but they always make you see we say the positive side of the situation that in the end is nothing but the love that our dog friends give you. I was really amazed by this film, the only problem but really a lot but so small is the characterization of the psychologist and I would have loved to know how the situation ended between her and her ex-husband who continues to "follow her"... Let's say that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth because when I finished watching the film I said:" but then the psychologist with her husband remains in the problematic situation in which it is?". That said it is a really huge movie and perfect from almost all points of view and I really recommend watching it to everyone.

I had a lot of expectations for this movie watching the trailer, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed by a couple of details that I will explain below that precisely left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Let's start from the premise that I have never been a huge fan of the video game saga and the story in general but this movie seemed to me a good idea to maybe bring closer to this universe even people who have never been attracted to it so much. An opportunity that in my opinion was wasted on the silliest aspects. Let's start by saying that I definitely wasn't expecting a good badass horror movie as King would make it but at least I would have expected some jumpscare (since video games are based only on those) and a plot that was at least cute and not obvious... Instead far from it, I was faced with a literally empty movie where the only thing done well were the animatronics which alas are visually beautiful but seeing them playing with a little girl making a castle with chairs and tables really made me feel sorry for them. The plot is very simple and mostly obvious at best, the music on the other hand is cute. I heard many people in the cinema excited about the movie only the first 20 minutes because rightly the animatronics appear but then there was total silence and at the twist there was no one amazed. A movie that focuses only on showing how well they did the animatronics and that's it, I found it really empty and left me hollow inside.
