L'immortale

I still loved it, the setting, the scenery, the atmosphere. the music are all superb. The plot could of been better, but who cares Ciro is back.

..way of telling the backstory of Ciro and all Gomorrah fans should be pleased with the usual series atmospheric feel to the film

This spin off about Ciro is a good movie but not close at TV series, this movie is boring in some scenes, last part of the movie is cool expecially final sequence. My rating is 7/10. A good movie but not a masterpiece like TV show.

Gomorra, the series this movie is based on, was a brilliant insight to the poverty and crime in Naples masterfully written by journalist Roberto Saviano. The first 2 seasons were based on the book by Saviano and provide all the necessary closure for the tragic story of Ciro Di Marzio. The rest of the TV show was written to bank of the popularity of the first 2 seasons.

The movie is a further attempt to bank on the very beloved character of Ciro. There is no character development in this movie. There are surprises, but they're very in-your-face. There's very little of reality in this film. It's sad to see the brilliance of Saviano turn into a mediocre thriller. That said, I did enjoy the movie. But it so much less than what it could have been. In fact, the whole Gomorra universe after Season 2 is simple feel-good entertainment.

It is better to watch this powerful italian crime film when following GOMORRA series too, and watch this film between season 4 and 5 of the TV show. But for those who are reluctant to watch a 58 episodes series, and there are many of them, then the film can be OK to be seen anyway. Italian film industry is over the top, better than average when it is question to produce films about gangs and mafia: Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta Camorra, Sacra Corona, less known and located in Pouilles area. Mix up between falshbacks and present is OK, not complex to follow. I wait now to watch the fifth season of GOMORRA. And will comment it afterwards.
