In short: The initial story is set 6 months after the defeat of Majin Buu, the God of destruction arrives, Beerus, who awakens after 39 years of sleep, and together with his master Whis goes in search of a certain "Super Saiyan God " seen by him in a vision: from here Dragon Ball Super begins.

I only saw the anime once, that was enough for me.

My opinion and my considerations on this anime can be summarized in the following points:

* Variable graphics, there are good episodes, but also episodes designed and graphically produced in a bland, mediocre way, ugly.

* The technical sector is nothing good considering all the episodes, the anime that have a valuable technical sector are others, "Dragon Ball Super" is not.

* Music nothing special, but it's nice.

* Plot: personally I didn't like more than half of the anime as a plot, too little original, with repetitive and already seen situations, only that they are reproduced in another way, but they are always the ones seen in many other sauces, there have been episodes that they even bored me.

Then let's also point out that this "Dragon Ball Super" is made for children, and this can be seen in the absence of blood and scenes not suitable for children, then let's add that some characters and situations don't add up to me, considering the old Dragon Ball. There were definitely some episodes that I enjoyed, but they are the minority of the total.

In conclusion, for me, "Dragon Ball Super" is an anime with some really good episodes, but I didn't like the majority of the episodes. Now Dragon Ball has said it all, after so many years, continue to produce things about it, repetitive, boring and for nothing original, productions that curl up on themselves, it certainly doesn't help.

It's definitely an anime that children will like, but for me, now that I'm grown up, it's a mediocre anime, unsatisfactory.

Saint Seiya "The Knights of the Zodiac" is a cult anime that marked an entire generation of fans, which had enormous success worldwide at the turn of the 80s and early 90s.

The animated series, produced by Toei Animation in 1986, is based on the famous manga of the same name by Masami Kurumada, and tells the adventures of a group of young warriors, the knights of Athena, who fight to protect the goddess and the Earth. The story of the anime is fascinating and has several elements of Greek and Nordic mythology and religions including Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

The characterization of the many characters is one of the anime's strong points.

The knights (saint) designed and created by Masami Kurumada are all beautifully characterized, with strong and distinct personalities, which make them unique, and many of them are memorable characters.

The main characters are: Seiya of Pegasus, the protagonist, a good, impulsive and courageous boy who never gives up in the face of countless difficulties; Shiryu of the Dragon, a stoic and wise warrior, who fights for others; Hyoga of the Swan, a cold boy, who however hides a great pain in his heart; Shun of Andromeda, a kind and compassionate boy, who sacrifices himself for others; Ikki from Phoenix, a strong, rebellious and lonely boy, who hides a dark and sad past; Saori, a girl, reincarnation of Athena in the 20th century, torn between her human feelings and her duties as a goddess who protects humanity.

And then there are several secondary characters, including silver knights, golden knights, warriors of Asgard and marine generals, some of whom are wonderful antagonists both in terms of visuals and characterization.

Shingo Araki's character design is another very positive element of the anime, an effective, beautiful and very suitable design, which makes the anime immediately recognizable, which stands out from the mass of anime.

The armor of the knights and enemies are a real spectacle, with their bright colors and fascinating details. Some of the armor designs created by Masami Kurumada are amazing ideas.

The music of the anime is another memorable element, a pleasure for the ears. The background music is epic and engaging, and helps to create a very evocative atmosphere.

Another honorable mention are some duels present in the anime, unforgettable and of great charm.

In conclusion, "The Knights of the Zodiac" is an anime of great quality, obviously we must and must contextualize it in the period in which it was released, that is, in the mid-80s: contextualized in that period, it is one of the best anime ever of the late 80s, a true cult, which has managed to conquer audiences of all ages. The series is a true jewel of 80s Japanese animation that conquered the whole world of that period, and which in Italy (and not only) has remained unforgettable.

Rating: 10. I give it the best, because it is an absolute cult anime of the animation of the late 80s and early 90s.

The series in question is an adaptation of a popular work about thirty years ago, the original work is rich in story, characters and fights, however, this live action adaptation is not up to the standard of the original work.

First of all, the series is not faithful to the original work, this has created a product that is not comparable to the original work.

Secondly, the series lacks much of the story of the work it is based on. The series focuses only on some events, however neglecting a lot of the original story, just think that the entire final part is completely absent, but it is just an example of the numerous cuts to the story.

Furthermore this live action is not suitable for those unfamiliar with the original work, as it does not provide a satisfactory introduction to the story and characters.

And there are also other defects that I won't list so as not to make my review too long.

Napoleon by Ridley Scott is a film about Napoleon Bonaparte, but it is a very fictional film, many sequences of the film do not correspond to historical reality. I didn't like the film because I would have preferred something much more historically faithful, not an almost fictional work.

The cinematography of the film is spectacular but the battles depicted also did so they are very fictional.

The film is very schizophrenic, it goes from one thing to another without ever delving into anything specific.

A film about Napoleon(that is not the real historical Napoleon) that I honestly do not recommend.

A film I don't recommend!!!!

Highly recommended film for children.

This animated film is very cute and for the whole family. The story is well structured and the characters are well developed. The music is cute, the animations are high quality, of course the CGI is also high quality, the character design is cute.

The film is pleasant to see, I recommend seeing it with the whole family, it's not a heavy film and it flows well. It also has some basic subjects dealt with intelligently, without going overboard. It's not the movie of the year, but it's definitely a cute movie that kids will enjoy, for sure. Very cute, take the kids to see it.

"This film is a real pearl of cinema. The plot is gripping and exciting from start to finish, with a fast pace that keeps the audience glued to their seats. The characters principal are all very good and their teamwork is perfect, creating an atmosphere of genuine empathy with the audience. The script is elegant and well thought out, with perfectly dosed moments of emotion and laughter. In addition, the direction is superb, with breathtaking cinematography that does justice to the spectacular scenery and landscapes in which the characters move. Finally, the music is good. I recommend everyone to see this film, as it is an experience not to be missed and you will certainly appreciate it much more than one might expect".

Another DC failure. The film in question is a total disappointment. Not only is the plot vapid and lacking in originality, but the direction is flat and uninvolving. The characters lack depth and their interpretation is not very convincing. Furthermore, the scenes are poorly edited and the pace of the narrative is flat and uninvolving. The photography is uninspired and the soundtrack quite banal, never standing out and not contributing to the creation of a proper atmosphere. The screenplay merely repeats stereotypes that have already been seen hundreds of times, without ever daring or surprising the viewer.

Useless and confusing, a film that offers nothing new and nothing interesting so it could have been avoided.

Excellent Special similar Twilight Zone. Great special for Halloween. Promoted from all points of view, script, direction, characters, environments.

I grew up loving the Werewolf By Night comics and loved any appearances or team ups with him in it.

Michael Giacchino has done an amazing job with both directing and scoring the film, I hope they give him more projects to direct in the future.

The acting was spot on and I was pleasantly surprised by an appearance of one of my favourite Marvel characters, which I won't give away here as other may wish to be surprised too.

Overall, a very enjoyable 60 minutes.

Two graphically beautiful but boring episodes.

The CGI is amazing but that does not make up for a weak storyline. Similar to the Star Wars follow ups CGI takes over as the key element when we all know that this did workcompared to the originals. The acting is decent all around, but nothing special. Not a single actor or role stands out as special or particularly memorable. It's like a jumble of background characters, with Galadriel being propped up despite the mediocre performance and character. As for the story, it's a hodgepodge of shifting perspectives that bounces all over the place at a breakneck pace. Likely an attempt to spice up an otherwise boring narrative.

I liked the first episode a lot, it was a lot of fun, plus I liked all of the characters. Technically the series is of a good standard, She Hulk is a series that from the beginning is much superior to series like Batgirl and Supergirl.

A film with a fairly forgettable story, even the animations are little stuff, a film that adds nothing to what has already been seen in the past in the dc universe, a hole in the water.

A badly made movie, bad script, bad stories, bad characters, this is a really bad DC movie. DC is always making bad movies lately. Disappointing and ugly.

A bad and boring movie where there are Batman and Superman. Batman is depressed, Superman seems unintelligent, the final villain is made with a bad CGI, the story of the film is disappointing and boring.

A not very funny and too long film, the script does not shine and the characters neither. A big wasted opportunity, a mediocre short film. Jurrrasic World disappointment.
