The spirit of the late Federico Fellini -- with whom Benigni talked of doing the project together -- surfaces repeatedly. But that spirit fails to enliven a film substantially lacking in personality, energy, magic and humor.

It's an oddity that will be avoided by millions of people, this new Pinocchio. Osama bin Laden could attend a showing in Times Square and be confident of remaining hidden.

This movie contains my favorite movie scene of all times. When the Blue fairy (Nicoletta Braschi) says : "E vero, Medoro, il tempo non esiste". If I have to pick ONE movie from all movie history, I will pick this one. A great take on the Collodi original. From that point of view the Disney cartoon ****. It was even anti-Italian. The only negative thing about Benigni's Pinocchio was the English dubbed version. Atrocious. The Italian original was simply glorious.

Big, opulent and frequently wretched, Pinocchio is so bad that its American distributor, Miramax, opened it on Christmas Day with scant advertising and no advance press screening.

Visually sumptuous but intellectually stultifying.

The recut American version is truly awful, but a good 75 percent of the awfulness is attributable to Miramax, the film's distributor.

By film's end I was fantasizing that Peter Stormare would drop by with his "Fargo" wood-chipper in tow, but it was not to be. Appalling.

Benigni's Pinocchio is meant to be adorable, but he comes off as less an enchanted puppet than as a harmlessly deranged middle-aged man prancing about in the kind of froufrou cream-colored pantsuit that Dinah Shore retired to her back closet in 1977.

Great production values, terrific cinematography and a very sympathetic performance by Pinocchio.

This movie is literally an big piece of garbage and proves you can't make a better version of a special story of Pinocchio.

Horrível até demais, acho que as crianças bobinhas adoraram essa peça rídicula mal feita e sem a mínima noção de carácter simplesmente um estrago para as telas.
