It seemed to me essentially a cowardly film: on several occasions, it comes off as gratuitously vulgar, yet it is never irreverent or politically incorrect (the only joke I remember is the one about Jewish children in the prologue). It is truly insubstantial in terms of screenplay and not innovative at all in the comedic sense, although some gags made me chuckle. In summary: it's too soft to please us cynical bad guys and too harsh to appeal to the uptight, well-meaning old-timers. However, it has the undeniable advantage of reminding everyone, indiscriminately, that Mila Kunis is one of the reasons why God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, or whoever you may believe in, gave us a penis and (at least) a hand.

In reality, the Italian title is yet another mess caused by the impossibility of rendering certain English wordplays. In the original, the girl is named Summer and the title is "500 Days of Summer." In the Italian version, however, the name has been translated to "Sole." At that point, it might have made sense to translate the title to "500 Giorni di Sole." But no. That said: I swear I still don't understand what the heck hipster means. I'm increasingly convinced it refers to what I call "indie at all costs," but it's not exactly that because I find out from the review that going to IKEA to be silly is hipster behavior, and I don't think an indie person would do that. I've done it quite a few times, but I don't feel hipster, and the people I know who know what it means haven't labeled me as such. I'm very confused. The film: in my opinion, it never really takes off, never fully engages. It should create an incredible empathy between the viewer and the protagonist, but instead, it fails to evoke more than a general sense of disappointment. The idea of continuous time jumps is nice, but it's not managed very well. It had everything it needed to be the teen-sentimental-comedy of the decade, and instead, it's just a harmless little film.

Well... I had heard such bad things about it and had such low expectations that in the end, in some way, I liked it. I mean, it's a big toy that's nice to look at, with some tasty ideas (the already mentioned scene of the cesarean section), a well-directed first half with excellent pacing, and a second half where it goes off the rails, leaving behind any possibility of not reducing everything to "let's blow up the bad guys' spaceship, damn it!". It seems to me that over the years, the Alien saga has been imbued with so many philosophical-existential meanings that it never really intended to have. The only one in the saga with a more or less mystical aura is the third, which - coincidentally - is the most reviled in the series (and which I actually love!!). We've forgotten that, when all is said and done, Alien is a sci-fi thriller/horror with a monster that tears everything apart except Sigourney Weaver. If someone expected Prometheus to be the new Solaris, well, it seems to me that - once again - that's their problem: except for Blade Runner and a few other things, Scott isn't exactly a serious filmmaker, and expecting some revelation about human existence from the writer of Lost is mostly foolishness.

I confess that I didn’t dislike it at all. It’s a rather enjoyable dark fairy tale: it perhaps doesn’t hold up well for its two-hour duration, but it is a pleasure to watch. Eva Green seemed beautiful to me and very entertained by her role. Some sequences are really well done (e.g., the "sex" scene in the office), and there are some treats that made it charming (e.g., how the whole "Alice Cooper" matter is handled). Not everything, however, works, and the screenplay has a few flaws: the part of the story regarding the family business is handled poorly, and some characters (especially Victoria, but also the kid whose name I can’t remember…) literally disappear halfway through the film, only to reappear and have a decisive role in the last 10 minutes.

This is the last album of theirs that I listened to, by the way at the time of its release back in 2000-something. I'm still waiting for my balls to completely deflate.

In reality, at least in the beginning, it almost seems to hold up. In the sense that it’s obvious we’re talking about a cosmic nonsense, but in the first part, it felt like a somewhat successful nonsense overall. At least Theron is truly convincing as the wicked witch. Even the seven dwarfs in a “Ghimlesque” version and the cursed forest seemed positive to me. The real problems, those that really make you want to stop watching movies forever, come about half an hour before the end, when everything takes on the guise of a kind of Lord of the Rings for young women on their second menstrual cycle, which is just unbearable to watch, but especially to hear. The crowd-rousing speech before the battle would make your pants fall down even with a double pair of suspenders, and the whole fight scene in the castle is ridiculous because it’s so poorly shot and scripted. But above all, Stewart confirms from film to film that she’s a terrible actress like we haven't seen since the days of TV series with Manuela Arcuri. I remember her being passable back in Into The Wild, and yet with every film I see her in, she seems to get worse and worse. Even physically, she seemed cuter a few years ago. By the way, it seems that over time she has developed giant ears, definitely disproportionate to the rest of her body and face. If she continues like this, the only film she’ll manage to act in will be the Dumbo reboot...

In general, I lean a bit more towards S4doll: when it came out, I was in my early twenties, and it made everyone freak out because "No, come on, you can't just remake Escape from New York." The truth is, it's the same film; it’s just that 15 years have passed, the cinema and people have changed, and we all got our red pens out to tally up the nonsense we would find. As if in the "masterpieces" of the '80s everything was perfect and went smoothly. It’s definitely a "tired" Carpenter, as has been said, but it's not a "grandpa Carpenter, come on, if you stop filming I'll give you the apple mousse you like so much" (Ghosts of Mars is the last of his I saw, and it's appalling). For the rest, I find myself more fascinated every day by Nes's transformation from a clueless guy on the site to "a streetwise little tough who puts the newcomers in their place, dazzling them with copy-paste bursts that would make an eagle cross-eyed." Power of Debasio! :D

Great film. Slow, but intense. Ruined by a criminal dubbing in the Italian version. The final scene alone earns it an extra rating.

Beautiful page. It's a pity about some formal inaccuracies, but the emotion that your viewing has evoked shines through (or sweats out?) and that's enough. The film, forgive me, gave me a slight case of the heebie-jeebies just from reading its description, and I don't think I'll watch it. But you, good job.
