Movie Reviews of Celebrity
Movie Review: DEJA VU FEELING...BUT A VERY BORING DEJA VU.
Summary: 2 Stars
** 1/2 stars rating for this movie. "Celebrity" features most of Woody Allen's trademarks: a huge number of characters, a lot of cameos, a lot of mini-stories that are connected between each other, and dialogues filled of whining, sexual allusions, irony and social satire. When the movie is well made, like "Hannah And Her Sisters", "Annie Hall" or "Manhattan", those Woody Allen's trademarks translate into a very good movie, with lots of fun and entertainment. But when is made like "Celebrity" the final result is a failure of a movie.
THE BEST: Without a doubt, Charlize Theron, Winona Ryder, Famke Janssen and Melanie Griffith are the best of the movie, all of them are beautiful women and make their scenes in "Celebrity" more interesting than they would have been without those gorgeous actresses.
Some of the dialogues in the Leonardo DiCaprio segments are funny and original. There are a lot of interesting cameos. The black & white photography gives personality to the film, in an era packed of explosions and computer generated special effects, is always interesting to see a black & white movie.
THE WORST: Without a doubt, the worst in the movie is the Kenneth Branagh character, he is a great actor, but in this movie he makes an increasingly irritating Woody Allen imitation. When the real Woody Allen is the central character, his voice, attitude and physic translate into a funny character, but when someone else does a cheap imitation, the central character becomes pathetic. A lot of the scenes and situations are very, very boring and pointless.
"Celebrity" is one of the less interesting movies of Woody Allen, it just feels too familiar, repetitive and boring.
Movie Review: Could not reach the end...
Summary: 2 Stars
Man, I love most of Woody Allen's movies, but I could not reach the end of CELEBRITY. AFter the first fifteen minutes I realized was in for a journey of perseverance, but I failed: I was simply not in the mood to watch a film that I surely would not enjoy.
Until the part I watched, I did not like the pacing, the plot or the characters. I tought the movie was slow, boring, lifeless. Probably, the so-called "authentic" WOody Allen faans will say I'm nuts and that the movie is a masterpiece. I disagree.
Movie Review: DVD Edition is so poor !
Summary: 2 Stars
Even if this movie deserves 4-5 stars (lots of jokes, funny situations, and despite what other comments says, really good acting) I can only give it two because of DVD edition. No alternative language, no subtitles, no bonus material, nothing. You'd get the same on TV. What's the point ? Is it soooo expensive to try to get some quality ? Hello Miramax, is anybody alive ?Movie Review: Perhaps the worst film ever made.
Summary: 1 Stars
It is apparently impossible to give a film 0 stars, so I have had to give it one. A Godawful mess bereft of wit, rhythm, or interest. Kenneth Branagh is alternately irritating and embarrassing as he does his Woody impression for two hours. The only good in this film is Leonardo DiCaprio's 15 minutes, during which he blows the stagey, theatrical, northeastern smarty-pants segment of the cast out of the water. Seriously, if you enjoy this film on any level, there is something wrong with you. And I like Woody Allen.Movie Review: Woody Allen at his worst
Summary: 1 Stars
Woody needs to rethink the formula. And someone needs to tell Kenneth Branagh that imitating Woody is the most awful thing he can do for his appeal. It was a weak story line, lousy acting, annoying cinematography, pure drivel. How so many stars can participate in a project without any of them noticing what a piece of garbage it is frightens me. Do not buy - especially if you liked any of Woody's earlier stuff. I am so disappointed.
