Movie Reviews of Casanova
Movie Review: Simply delightful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a lighthearted and romantic tale of the famous (infamous?) playboy Casanova. The sets of the Venice of a couple hundred years ago are truly wonderful. People who enjoy period films are sure to like this one.
Heath Ledger does a surprisingly wonderful job of portraying the legendary seducer of women. In many ways, the whole concept of Casanova is like an inflated male fantasy. It asks: "What if?" it were the case that women were to chase after us like we chase after them? Insofar as that is concerned, the film is quite cathartic.
One of the biggest selling points of the movie is that it maintains a great sense of humor. It's good to see how they were able to make a lighthearted film out of what was a rather dark chapter in world history. Typically, movies that deal with the Spainish Inquisition don't have happy endings........until now!!
Movie Review: A must for woman of all age to watch!
Summary: 5 Stars
Casana had finally met his match! The movie is very funny to see the wit of the woman Casana is falling in love with. The is a romatic comedy. As Casana shared his secrets with the shy guy, I found the same principles could be used by woman toward man. This is definitely a must for woman of all age to watch! Casana is very clever in catching the human nature of curiosity. In the United States, we stress too much for a woman to catch a man. Man prefers to be the hunter instead of the preyer. A woman that is beautiful plus intellegence will still attrack her Casanova. I love the movie and will recommend it to the singles who would like to meet the opposite sex and the couples who want to keep their fire of love burning.Movie Review: Fun in 18th century Venice
Summary: 5 Stars
It is definitely worth seeing this movie for the gorgeous sets alone. The story is pure fun with Heath Ledger as an energetic Casanova, a luminous Sienna Miller as his love interest, and talented Lena Olin as her mother. Oliver Platt is hilarious and touching as a pompous yet insecure Papprizzio. Jeremy Irons as the "Chief Inquisitor" from Rome plays his part to the hilt. Clever writing and several plot twists keep you entertained throughout. Not sure how it got an R rating - only a tiny bedroom scene in the beginning - the rest is definitely PG-13 material. The DVD is a has several great extras including a "Making of...", a detailed look at costuming, and a tour of Venice.Movie Review: BEST movie of 2006
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let the awful coverjacket fool you, this is the best movie of 2006. All eyes were on Brokeback Mountain, another great film, but this is the Heath Ledger movie to watch -- and see what a great actor he is creating a totally different performance in the same year.
Any comparisons to shakespeare in love is ludicrous, this movie is so much better. A great romantic comedy, a great comedy and a great movie period.
This movie is fun, heartwarming and hilarious. I was completely surprised at how good this movie is and you will be too. I've seen over a 100 movies last year and this tops my list.
Movie Review: Not What I Was Expecting!
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a really cute funny romantic comedy. i thought that it was very well done and it was not completely focused around sex. actually i was surprised at how little romance scenes there were considering the R rating. this film probably could have been PG 13, but either way it was still great. heath ledger is the perfect casanova and while this movie is centered around him, sienna miller's role was also very good along with oliver platt and jeremy irons. the cast is great and so is the movie. i would recommend it to anyone just looking for something romantic and fun!
