This movie was so terrible, it actually gave me a migraine. The plot was a joke. It was truly disappointing. Just when you think the story has hit its low, there is another ridiculous twist that makes the plot even more... Full review

Casanova has all the best qualities of Don Juan DeMarco, Dangerous Beauty and Shakespeare in Love. Strong, sexy, beautiful women. Baudy irreverent humor. Gorgeous sets and costumes. A playful element of pure fantasy. A charismatic cast and a playful story. I'll... Full review

Set at a time when heresy and fornication are punishable by death, the mood is that of mischief, as Casanova again and again eludes apprehension by comic circumstance and the loyalty of those who remain devoted to him. Ledger delivers on all counts, convincing us of his natural appeal to the opposite sex, as well as his vulnerability to be smitten with a double dose of true love. ... Full Review

Full of weak whimsy, woefully unsuccessful tries at humor and awkwardness from first scene to last, "Casanova" must have been a disaster from the script stage, and Hallstrom's unsteady decisions only speed up the free fall. While attempting to win Francesca's heart, Casanova must simultaneously avoid Bishop Pucci (Jeremy Irons), the puritanical Vatican heavy -- topped in a quite unflattering mullet wig -- assigned to take him down. ...

Perhaps we'll see that Casanova some day on film; Hallstrom's movie gives the rogue the happy ending he never had and probably didn't deserve. In the end, Hallstrom's film "Casanova" beguiles us because it's a cute, beautiful lie, whereas the real Casanova's redemption came from his late-life candor and literary achievement. ...

One thing "Casanova" does well is that it doesn't try and act like it is a serious 18th Century piece, but it pokes fun at the idea and has a good time with it. Casanova" is entertaining... it isn't a good movie, but it isn't all that bad. ... Full Review

Lasse Hallstrom ("Chocolat") keeps it rolling hamfistedly along as a boudoir farcical romantic/comedy and like all prevous films about Casanova it also turns out to be a stinker, but since Disney money financed it--it's more tasteful than the other films; the screenplay by Jeffrey Hatcher and Kimberly Simi is no heavier than a feather. ...

I am definitely a fan of comic books, graphic novels, manga, and other forms of pictorial story telling. When a movie comes out based off of one of these books it takes a lot to pull it together. ... Full Article
