I do not understand the hype for this movie. I made it about 20 minutes in and the visuals make my eyes want to puke. It reminds me of Team America World Police, but takes itself seriously and has a quarter of the frames per second. TheI do not understand the hype for this movie. I made it about 20 minutes in and the visuals make my eyes want to puke. It reminds me of Team America World Police, but takes itself seriously and has a quarter of the frames per second. The child is annoying like all children in movies and his voice is utterly grating. And to be honest, I really wasn't expecting the musical part, which I also hated. Didn't feel bad for the old man that waited 20 years for a tree to grow to make a toy out of it and was still sad, it was just stupid. Then Pinocchio started on his number and his annoying grating voice forced us to shut the computer because we couldn't stand it.… Expand

not that good and what is with this ending? Basically a mix between the original pinocchio, tim burton's animated movies and AI from Spielberg. Actually, I revise from not that good to absolutely amoral. Do not watch that with kids.

Why is del Toro obsessed with the traumatic effect that historical totalitarianisms have had on childhood? I stress: historical totalitarianisms and not current ones. Who cares? Why is he so incapable of broadening his discourse as Don Milani in "L'obbedienza non è più una virtù" ("Obedience is no longer a virtue", 1965)? Why, to condemn blind and uncritical puppet-like obedience, does he parasitize Collodi instead of inventing an original story of his own? Does he exploit the brand? "A woody film" (Valerio Sammarco). "I cannot pontificate about it, but by the time I'm done, I will have done one movie, and it's all the movies I want. 'Hellboy' is as personal to me as 'Pan's Labyrinth'. They're tonally different, and yes, of course you can like one more than the other—the other one may seem banal or whatever it is that you don't like. But it really is part of the same movie. You make one movie. Hitchcock did one movie, all his life" (del Toro, "Twitch Film", January 15, 2013). The problem is all here: I'm used to authors, artists, scholars who follow an intellectual journey and publish only if and when they have something new or different to say. I don't waste time hearing always the same thing, albeit perhaps in changed and modified forms or styles.… Expand
