Why something that has nothing to do with the Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio? Ah, OK, it's Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, so he mixed a lot of stuff, offering a picture of the fascism with the Duce Benito Mussolini, why not even Hitler, and maybe something else? This is not Pinocchio, this is... I take some parts of the original book, then I change everything, I use some characters that don't exist, I put some war, something evil, some ghoulish, something scary, and voila, my Pinocchio!

Should this a story for children as the original book is? Absolutely not. Nothing is painted with the tones, delicacy, the shades of the original Pinocchio. Probably those who gave a high score never read the story of Pinocchio, the true story, not this one.

And not even in the end Pinocchio becomes a real boy, it remains a horrible puppet, yes, it's horrible, it's scary, what is this Mr. Del Toro? Is it a horror movie? Didn't you see how cute was Pinocchio? This is not it. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have changed anything about the story, but you cut some fundamental parts of the book, where are the cat and the fox? And Lucignolo? I don't know, for an American Pinocchio is nothing that they can remember, but for an Italian Pinocchio is untouchable, it's a masterpiece, it remembers our childhood, it was one of the first books that we read, it was moving, it was simply great! You destroyed our dreams, our memories, our childhood, everything. Sorry, you are an American who can't understand a book like Pinocchio, it's not in your culture, it's Italian, it's Italy!

6 stars because the animation is very good, 1 star for the story.

I didn't know anything about this piece of American history, I'm not American, but I have to apologize to all Native Americans as I am a white man, it's not my fault, but I am ashamed of. This is a movie about what happened in 1920 in Oklahoma, but it perfectly depicts what still happens at our days. I'm not going to talk about that, because I'm here to say something about this movie. It's simply a very good film, and you won't easily forget it. Is it the best movie ever? No it's not, it's just a movie that for many reasons you won't forget, and after watching it, you'll agree with me, unless... It talks about greed, power, lies, evil, injustice, racism, betrayal, hate, and of course, money. Among that some love too... true love? Maybe...

It talks also about how easy was killing Native Americans, with the purpose of stealing their money, and not to be condemned, until the moment in which so many Native Americans were murdered that was impossible not to investigate about those deaths. Did the white man started to investigate, because of those murders? Of course not, the Native Americans had to go to the President, and asking for justice. What happened then? Did the Native Americans get full justice? Again, of course not, they weren't white men, they were Native Americans. However more or less, they got some justice, if we can call that, justice. Many people don't know that one day we all will pay for our bad actions, and we'll get the right punishment. It calls Universal Justice, and there's no chance to escape.

What was the reason why the white man started killing the Native Americans? Money, of course, but exactly why? The discovery of "black gold" on land belonging to the Native American Osage Nation, and suddenly they got rich.

It wasn't acceptable, they were savages, not civilized people like the white man, so some "good" white men decided that they had to get some of that money at any costs. So they started to kill the Natives.

Now it's time for you to see what really happened, and how.

A very good cast, and a great director was able to make this movie possible... Robert De Niro, Leonardo Di Caprio, Lily Gladstone, and the director Martin Scorsese.

It's very long, but believe me, you won't fell asleep.

Enjoy!

4 stars? Why? It's unfair, unless you don't like cars, you don't like this kind of races, you don't like good acting, and don't say to me that these actors are not able to act, because you are absolutely wrong. But there's another possibility... many reviews are from people who don't understand anything at all.

I'm not saying that this one is one of the best race car movies, but surely it's not the worst, and there are idiots who dare to give only 1 star! It shouldn't allow you to write any review, you just write because you are envious, you're angry, you're mad at yourself as you didn't do anything good in your life, you are a failure, and you try to get some satisfaction by writing a bad review... believe me, it doesn't work, and you are making a fool of yourself.

At least look at some numbers before writing idiotic things.

This movie costed 4 million dollars, and the gross takings was 26 millions! A lot of movies would like to have this success.

Please, stop writing about movies, you're not able.

For those who are able to use their brains... this movie is not Fast & Furious, it's a movie about illegal drag-racing competitions, and the big bet behind that. It's not an Oscar movie and it doesn't want to be. It's honest, there are good actors, it's simple, and if you like to see some of the best super cars of that year (2007), you'll be satisfied. Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes McLaren, Lamborghini, Ford GT, and many others. As usual, there are many beautiful girls and one of them is a driver in some races. Obviously there's more, but it's enough. Again, if you like great cars (only a stupid person can say that the Ferrari Enzo sucks, it means he doesn't know anything about cars), some beautiful girls and the world of illegal car racing, this movie is for you, unless you expect to watch another Fast & Furious. It's not.

The movie is nice, very good acting, and it can't be a surprise as it stars Bronson, Bozzuffi and Bronson's beautiful wife Jill Ireland.

Good directing and pace too.

It's not the usual western, and this time the ending can be not really satisfying.

Well, this is the triumph of evil people, money, power, violence.

It's not a good teaching as it points out that poor people have to give up, and not always it's true.

He lost everything, because someone decided that he was not well accepted, and he hadn't watch his sister. Someone arrogant, obviously rich, powerful, and bad.

Nowadays it happens the same, rich people take advantage of poor people, the story doesn't change, and probably it never will.

At that time, there was plenty of space, huge lands totally uninhabited, but still rich people had to have everything and poor people almost nothing.

This is the point, almost nothing wasn't acceptable, because a lot of rich people want everything, the absolute power, so as usual he used violence to convince him to stop thinking to have rights, and the game was over, the character gave up.

This ending is not what many people would like to see, but it perfectly depicts how the things were.

We like to see that the good man will have justice, and that the evil one will lose everything. The reality is totally the opposite, and probably this movie ending is the correct one.

A really good sad music accompanies you throughout the film.

Recommended if you like western movies, but not if you like happy ending stories.

This is a movie that many people won't understand at all, and they can be pushed to give it a very low score, because of that.

I know it's not easy, but it's not a bunch of scenes randomly shot, not at all.

It's interesting, well acted and directed and the script is very good. You start watching it, you got hit and involved, because you want to know how it will go on... Is it my guess right? Who is guilty? WOW, nice! After a while, a phone start ringing again... you're full of curiosity, you start guessing... is it her? Nobody will answer to you, unexpectedly... the credits. It's over.

How can it be possible? Who was the murderer, what happened? OMG, I can't bear it! This movie is crap!

No, it's not, read the title, and start thinking.

Probably you won't like it, and maybe you'll say that the script is awful, poor, and the writer is bad, and the acting was horrible and the pace was wrong. I'm sorry, it's you , just you.

You have to use your imagination, your fantasy, it's possible you don't have any of them, so, your anger will lead you to write a bad review, and give it a low score.

Pity, it was good, it deserves a better score, 7 stars, not 9.

Recommended, but not to everyone.

I don't get why this movie has a high score, it doesn't deserve it. It's horrible, it doesn't make any sense, just killing people, but how can it be possible that those people after being shot many times, were able to fight as nothing happened to them? And the plot? Trying to kill John Wick in any way possible, period.

The worst thing is that they used some scenes from the movie The Warriors (1979), they didn't try to change anything, a black woman with nice big lips, talking on the radio, guiding the gangs with the purpose to chase and kill The Warriors. Same with John Wick, but of course with a modern technology. Shame on you! Didn't you have any better idea? You just copied an old movie that was much better than this one, and that soundtrack was great!

What a disappointment! It remembers somehow Kill Bill, but that movie was very good, this one is almost unacceptable!

I enjoyed the other movies about John Wick, they were very well done, and had a good plot. This time it seems like they didn't know what to write.

Not even the ending was good, is he really dead? We can't be sure, and probably there will be a John Wick 5, because something is missing. Anyway the fight against the thugs, before the last duel, was really bad... just a videogame.

What many people don't understand is that working to satisfy your huge ego doesn't work and it's not what you should do. A lot of people got and get in troubles because of their ego. It's better to think about something else, something that will help you when you'll be dead and when the ego won't have any kind of meaning. This movie shows what some people can do to satisfy their hungry ego, even commit a murder.

I'm sure that someone would say... come on , it's just a movie, nothing else. Oh no, it's much more than a movie, because many times in the world happen things like this one depicted in this movie.

Good movie, well acted and directed.

My score is 8/10.

I'm recommending this movie, because of its teachings and that's the reason why I gave it 8 stars, so I'm not going to judge the movie, but what is inside it and what you can learn by watching it, even if you think that you know everything about this stuff.

It is a really good movie and a lot of people should see it, not because there are famous actors, the best photography or else, but for the teachings, as I already said. About bullying, racism, taking advantage of the others, violence, verbal and not, and of course pedophilia. Forgiveness, apologies, understanding, friendship, tolerance, acceptance, peace, love is what it shows us and unfortunately many people don't know what they are. The world is upside down now and it's up to us work on ourselves to make the world right, a better world as we can, of course. This movie give us some good examples to think about.

ALERT SPOILER!

Disappointing! It wasn't really a bad movie, but at 1:49:22 it started to be a mess, with no logic, no sense. Three men might shoot a man, who was riding towards them with the aim of killing them, and they were pointing their guns at him, and they waited for that very man to have shot and wounded one of them, then the same thing happened without any of them shooting him back. Why? No idea. Another thing I didn't like was the interruption between a scene and another one. It lacked of continuity. Going on, everything was absolutely confused, it seemed that at one point they didn't know what to do further and they shot as they could, putting the scenes one after another one without knowing exactly what they were doing. Before the end the stupidity reached the maximum level... he was surrounded and he asked for freeing his wife in change of a paper that he clearly showed. Why not killing him and taking that paper? No, it didn't happen, they released his wife and then they took him... seriously? The ending was horrible and absolutely inexplicable, the villain escaped from his fate and the good Apaches probably killed, I write probably, because ends up meaningless, as if they've run out of money to shoot any more.

3 stars and sorry, not recommended.

Even if we think that the church is connected to God, in many churches that's not true. God is not there, useless going to the church to find God, He's everywhere, not just in the church. Some churches are in the hands of quite bad people interested only in money and they don't help anybody, but themselves, if you don't have enough money to live you don't have to give anything, (especially to the church), thinking that then God will repay you back. It doesn't work in this way, mostly because you give that money expecting to get something back, no way! Pray and help as you can, one day you'll give money to those who are in need, no companies, church or institutions, unless you really know that they will use your money for good purposes, rarely it happens (my personal experience). Stop thinking that pastors, priests are more close to God than you, it's not true at all. The Vatican has so much money that they could help the whole humanity, but they don't do anything, they ask for money, instead. A lot of people are asking for money to God, it's a nonsense, ask for being reconnected to Him, because if you don't live in the abundance (it doesn't mean to have a lot of money), you're not connected to God. Praying and going to the church doesn't mean you are connected to Him.

This movie is very good, because it shows who some pastors are, the pastor asked for 777 dollars for his church (pastor's pockets), because then you'll get back even more. There are many stupid people like Jessica who think that offering more than they have, will repay them back, you can't buy God's blessings. That pastor is an evil person, a scammer, who takes advantage of people and he's not connected to God, but unfortunately many people think he is. Look what some churches do for people in need, nothing! Look how greed, arrogant, self righteous, sometimes we are (Jessica is a good example). Jessica is a naive person and had an angel next to her, but she offered her service to the devil thinking she was serving the Lord. The devil, many times appears to us in disguise. We should have more compassion, humility, less ego and above all more true love for God, ourselves and the others. However, one day we'll find ourselves in front of the real Justice and that's it, start to think about it now.

Some reviewers just wrote some nonsense and gave a very low score, and not even they are aware that some of what has been described in this movie is absolutely true, not the super powers tough.

If the best hackers would be unite, they could save the world and I'm not kidding, but they are too selfish and instead of being heroes, they are criminals. So talented and so stupid. This movie is real, I mean about that the governments are in the hands of someone (a bunch of billionaires, Blackrock and Vanguards) and that those people are interested to kill people, (bill gates told that clearly and it's trying, it, as it is not human), because they want to decrease the population, because they think we're too many for the resources we have on the earth. Pity that they are the same people who decide about everything in the world, not only they own banks, media, all the biggest companies in the world, but they are the same people who take advantage of the whole population by managing the world resources, and they take decisions on what the world has to do next. The reptilians exist too, but I'm not going to say more about. Unfortunately a lot of ordinary people are completely blind and they don't understand, see, listen to, do anything, so that the manipulation of the humanity is almost possible (look at the "pandemic"). We'll fight until our death, the body is human, the soul is divine and eternal., unless you decide to stay with the darkness instead of the Light.

Those who wrote this, know that it's true, great people!

Horrible movie! The attempt to make people laugh failed miserably, it is too exaggerated! Two idiots like them are not likeable at all, in the end, they are annoying, why the director and the producer didn't understand that, it's a flop, but it could be a funny movie, maybe using different actors or a better script.

It's really difficult to find something fun, I tried to consider different aspects and point of view, but absolutely I couldn't laugh. Everything is pushed beyond the line of the acceptability.

They beat a chauffeur, because they think it's a thief... can you laugh for that? I don't know, I couldn't. The receptionist of a hotel gives them a card to open the door of their room and they don't know it's the key and annoying they ask for a key. Funny? Maybe.

It would have been funny if the words they said were different, or probably if it was another actor.

Anyway I wasn't satisfied, I didn't like the actors, but even less him, she wasn't that bad. My score is 4.
