There are little good things but in general I think it's bad, my second most anticipated film of this year, what a shame

Say what you will! This is an iconoclast at his peak. How can you not respect the ambition? How can you laugh at a veteran director who is still trying to push the form to its outer limits? This will be remembered as one of the greatest and most expensive experiments in cinema history.

The movie starts strong by drawing parallels between modern American society and ancient Rome, creating a compelling allegory. However, it loses focus in the second half, shifting from societal commentary to intricate political intrigue, which diminishes its scope and leaves its themes feeling hollow.

Francis Ford Coppola’s ambition is evident, but his attempt to cram too many ideas into one film leaves it feeling disjointed and incoherent. While the art direction has its moments, some scenes come across as cheap, undercutting the film’s grandeur.

A lush and intricate yet ultimately hollow visual spectacle, the film seems to want to relay a deeper message but ends up drowning in trivial romantic drama. As I was dozing off, a scene where someone with a flashlight steps onto the stage to converse with the on-screen protagonist turned out to be a memorable cinema experience.

The film lacks any real exploration of capitalism versus utopia, nor does it offer reflections on class or politics. Beneath its flashy exterior lies the pitiful fantasy of a man, wrapped in a clumsy love story. It’s another tale of a man fantasizing about saving society while the woman, relegated to a decorative role, sacrifices herself under patriarchy.

Es muy Syfy... Eso es lo que juega en su contra. Y no logramos conectar con el origen mágico del poder. Vi que era como un análisis de la sociedad Romana futura pero con vestigios Retroculturales. Es perfecta a la vista... Pero creo que el error fue hacer una película y no una serie donde hubiera habido más tiempo para entender el concepto artístico y el trasfondo filosófico de un super hombre que manipula la realidad como a su vez es víctima de la realidad. ✌🏼
Una total locura, que solo el tiempo dirá si será un icono de un nuevo tipo de cine como lo fue Dark City en su momento. #GoodLuck
(Yo si veo potencial en ella).

Não é tão confuso assim vai... mas que é brisado...é. E cafona, até a canção dos créditos tem aquela cara de especial de fim de ano da Globo ou algumas novelas das 8. O antagonista representado pelo Shia é quase tão patético quanto ele próprio. Dava pra ter passado sem esse, mas deixa o Coppola brincar, né? Eu brincaria e pudesse.

FFC hizo lo que quiso con su guita y yo lo banco completamente.

O filme começa traçando paralelos entre a sociedade americana moderna e a Roma antiga, criando uma alegoria convincente. No entanto, perde o foco na segunda metade, passando do comentário social para a complexa intriga política, o que diminui o seu alcance e deixa os seus temas vazios.

La película comienza con fuerza al trazar paralelismos entre la sociedad estadounidense moderna y la antigua Roma, creando una alegoría convincente. Sin embargo, pierde enfoque en la segunda mitad, pasando de un comentario social a intrigas políticas intrincadas, lo que disminuye su alcance y deja sus temas con una sensación de vacío.

A ambição de Francis Ford Coppola é evidente, mas a sua tentativa de juntar muitas ideias num só filme deixa-o desarticulado e incoerente. Embora a direção de arte tenha seus momentos, algumas cenas parecem baratas, minando a grandiosidade do filme.
