Pinocchio (Roberto Benigni's Pinocchio)

I can't believe I wasted my time on this one. It was truely aweful. How can such a great story be butchered so. The boy actor for Pinocchio was just OK. The only redemption is that Gipetto's character did come through.... Full review

The graphics stunk, the acting stunk, the story and direction stunk. Is there such thing as an F-? There must be, this film is even unworthy of an F. Avoid it like a lonely granny.... Full review

This movie could pass as a horror movie. It is absolutely TERRIBLE. The entire story was basically finished within the first 20 minutes of this film, so we end up watching Pinocchio bring his father milk for 40 minutes. This film... Full review

Pinocchio 's best invention is at once it's most telling and most frightening.....the story's charm is noticeably lost amid gaudy sets and Benigni's infinite flights of fancy.....The film's stagecrafts are intimate and therefore bolder than the otherwise calculated artifice that defines and overwhelms the film's production design.....oberto Benigni's take on Carlo Collodi's classic fairy tale "Pinocchio" bears an unlikely resemblance to Fellini's more grotesque carnivalesques..... ...
