If you’re after a more-in-depth look at some films and/or filmmaking techniques more than just a quick take on the films as we watch them, please have a look at our Film Analysis page.


ATTENTION: SPOILER AHEAD!

WHAT WE THINK:

OUR SCORE:

2 out of 5 starsForgettable (if it wasn’t necessary for the rest of the series)

JUST A FEW WORDS:

Seriously, why would you do something like this just to “wipe out” one of the strongest trait of one of your strongest characters? Yeah, we’re talking about the reasons why Ciro (AKA The Immortal) is called like that. A trait so mysterious that instead becomes engrained in a pointless and uninspired backstory. Also, what was the thing? “We’re not Game of Thrones, when our characters die, they die for real!”. The moments where the backstory get mixed with the current plot lines are just dull.
It’s not that this film is terrible, it simply serves no purpose other than trying to “explain” a narrative point (if you really wanted to save the character, do it in an episode, instead of using 2 hours!) in a commercial and useless way. Sorry!

PROS:

  • Music, just like for the entire Gomorra world.
  • Well, at least their best character is not dead, I guess?

CONS:

  • Principally the narratives.
  • The return of the “dead”.
  • All in the few words above.
