Pinocchio

Great acting, amazing movie :D

This was a Charming movie with an All-Star cast. I think this is my favorite version of Pinocchio and even better than the Disney Original

An interesting return to the tone and episodic plot of the source material. The make-up effects are really incredible.

This Movies Bad This Feels Like A Fever Dream

After visiting the Pinocchio museum in Collodi Italy, I always wanted to see a movie of the real Italian version of this famous story of the wooden puppet who came to life. This movie in the Italian language presents all characters in a charming, fantasy- like setting. Because all characters are played by actors and there is sparse use of CGI, the movie feels authentic and it reminded me of classics like The neverending story and Labyrinth, with a hint of Amelie, for its sweet music score, and a touch of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, for its fantastic costumes and masks. This is not a Disney remake (which is good) and the story is very much 19th century in some of its cruelty, but never shocking. Fans of the Disney version may find it dissappointing, but this is actually the real story of Pinocchio, as it is known in Italy for over 150 years. This movie will bring a smile and a tear, as Pinocchio finally learns how to be a (good) boy.

Cool, Weird, Dark and Fun, fin work by Roberto Benigni as Geppetto.

No es la mejor versión ni la peor. Quiza la historia ya no es para más. Lo mejor Roberto sin duda.

It was great adventure and worth watching. Chilling stories with great unexpected adventures

You may like or dislike the movie; I thought it was good though not stellar. What needs to be addressed, however, is the obscene number of 1-star reviews coming from ignorant rubes who think the Disney cartoon was the original version, and this is a terrible remake of it. That is of course not the case: Pinocchio was originally a book, first published in 1883, from which the Disney version was very loosely adapted. This version is much much closer to the original fable, and therefore much darker and weirder, just as the book was. It is still a tale for kids, but not sanitized like Disney, the grit, the poverty, the violence, is there as it was in the original (as it is also the case for most if not all traditional tales before their Disney-fication).

A truly beautiful film that stays true to the fable of the puppet who longed to be a boy, while revealing a deep and gritty humanism by juxtaposing comic characters and moments with the dark reality of their intentions. You have to watch the Italian version with English subtitles to feel the connection with that landscape and culture as intended by the original authors. The performance of Federico Lelapi as Pinocchio is immense and the cinematography stunning. I cried at the end. Beautiful film.
