Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - The Movie that DIDN'T Save the MCU

  Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)


I admit that I had high expectations for this third film, both because it was the only Marvel film coming out this year, and because a film about this character (who I loved in the first 2 films) hadn't come out since 2018; however, the wait, against all odds, didn't bring the desired results. Because this "Deadpool & Wolverine" isn't even identifiable as a film. The story could have been 500 times simpler, more linear, more intimate (perhaps focused only on the 2 fucking characters of the title) and instead it ends up being a jumble of senseless things, put in random order and without the slightest chemistry between all the characters; even the relationship between Logan and Wade is truly one of the worst things seen in a film. 


A relationship based on beating each other up? How fucking childish can that be. It almost seems like the two actors had more connection in interviews and press conferences than on set. However, leaving aside the relationship between the various characters, the film has plot holes as big as lunar craters and absolutely dead moments in which nothing happened (and I mean nothing), something that in a 2-hour film that has been awaited for 7 years cannot allow itself to happen even by mistake. In addition to this, the direction is mediocre like few things, the cinematography forgettable and flat and the editing done by someone with quite strong ADHD. 

The jokes in some places are funny, yes, but in others they become a point in the eye and do not allow you to fully enjoy the film given that there are like 5 of them every second. Of all these things, however, the worst in my opinion is having wasted the presence of an actor like Hugh Jackman and having besmirched (yes, even if it was ironic it wasn't funny at all) "Logan" and its characters. In short, not the film that will save Marvel (not even remotely), but certainly the film that made me say, enough with this type of Tik Tok cinema, because having managed to put such a beautiful and iconic character like Deadpool in a bad light was a fucking feat. 

I conclude this review with regret, because the premises for a truly beautiful film were there, but apparently at Disney making money matters more than having the interest of the public.

Nosferatu (2024) - Robert Eggers Goes Gothic in a Sensational Journey That Doesn't Fully Satisfy

    Nosferatu (2024) Ok, I think it's 2025 and a new year means new reviews and new movies. In particular for this brand new movie I think I'll go on a bit, so I warn you already, it will be quite saturated with information and boring, but it doesn't matter after all. I write for myself, to think about what I saw and maybe have the opportunity during this flow of thoughts to understand or grasp things that I missed during the vision. Needless to say, I was waiting for this movie like few things in this world: as much as I have always recognized the grandeur of the 1922 film, avant-garde in German expressionism, never before has this story become so important to me. The reason is among the simplest ever, namely Robert Eggers: with every cell of my body I love this asshole incapable of making mistakes. I think he is one of the best directors not only of recent years, but of the entire history of cinema. One of those authors who is not only able to tell incredible stories but ...

The Brutalist (2024) - A Monumental Masterpiece

      The Brutalist (2024) I've been in bed for a week with a fever of 39, and this is definitely one of the things I've thought about most often. I'm finally recovering and I can once again invest my energy in something other than "surviving". Being able to write something about this film won't be easy, but I'll try to clarify a couple of thoughts that came to mind. Just calling it a film is quite reductive. Yes, because what I saw in Milan in the glorious 70 mm format, in the original language, goes far beyond the stylistic features of the classic film. Here we are faced with something else... here, we are faced with Cinema with a capital  C , in bold and underlined, damn it. A Cinema that has been missing for too long now. I don't think I've seen something of this level for a very long time, several years perhaps, and despite my expectations being high, I never would have believed that they could be swept away so easily. I'll say it clearly ...

The Boy and The Heron (2023) - A Modern Masterpiece of Art and Imagination

  The Boy and the Heron (2023) Ok, here we are finally. I want to start with a very small premise: I will give some spoilers, not so much because I feel like ruining the film for people, but rather because I see this review more as a stream of consciousness than anything else, useful primarily for me to fully understand, or at least try to understand what I saw.Let's start right away (I'm on my way to doing the longest and most substantial review I've ever done 💀), by saying that this film is splendid. I must say that there were a lot of expectations on my part around this "The Boy and the Heron", obviously given by the fact that Studio Ghibli is synonymous with quality and that the aura around Master Hayao Miyazaki is now on a par with that of a deity. It certainly can't be said that I started out completely apathetic towards the film, not at all. Also because being lucky enough to see it in IMAX meant that my expectations were already sky high even before e...
