Uncharted (2022)
A fun action film, ok adaptation
I love the games and I think this was a pretty good adaptation because the film captured the games' spirit and had almost all the principal elements from the games. One principal element that I felt like was missing though was violence. This film was pretty tame in that department except maybe the cutthroat scene.
Tom Holland was surprisingly good in this role, but I still think they should have chosen someone else. And I don't care about that he doesn't look like Nathan. I mean that Holland's presence is nothing like Nathan's. Other roles were cast very well.
The biggest mistake of this film was how they killed off Banderas' character for no reason at all. What a waste of a great actor and all that good groundwork they did for this villain to make us feel intimidated by him.
Overall I enjoyed this film and think it was the best video game adaptation (film format: if we consider tv-series too, then the Witcher is the best) that I have seen. The competition for that place is not fierce however: maybe only the newest Tomb Rider comes close. I would gladly see a sequel and I hope they'll make it.
Il paradiso delle signore (2015)
Relaxing pastime
Despite the good actors, characters are often poorly written and behave incomprehensibly. Also, the plot is full of either holes or deus ex machina -solutions. I recognize, however, that this series is not even trying to be realistic in that manner. If you are able to overlook the sloppy writing, all the rest is very enjoyable to watch - from the 50s colourful and optimistic Milanese scenery to the beautiful young people and their love triangles.
