Ali Baba et les 7 Nains

Cem Yilmaz has a great reputation in Turkey. But seems he forgets that great reputation creates great expectations. I think this is the biggest problem Yilmaz faces now.

I have seen Ali Baba and the Seven Dwarfs and I can say that it didn't surprised me at all. I do not mean that its a typical "full of fun" CY movie, unfortunately the opposite way round.

First of all, the story itself is so poor, nothing interesting with screenplay. Its like CY had some jokes in his mind and created a story only to put those jokes in it.

Another problem with characters. I did not understand what some characters really do in the movie, why do they exist, what would be the lose if those characters do not exist etc etc.

Looks like CY found a formula for his movies somethings like:

Find some jokes + Create a simple script (No need to be smart but should contain everything your audiences expect) + Choose correct actors & actresses (The ones who already tested and liked by fans) + Put CY name on it = Collect your money

Simple but unfortunately there are some elements are missing in the formula. Such as, story, creating a character, plot, intelligence of viewers (The worst thing about this movie is that CY does not care about his fan's intelligence. He thinks that everybody is ready to eat whatever CY cooks. Of course, its so wrong.)

CY makes films one after another. Don't know if because he has many things to tell or want to earn as much as possible or ... just don't know. What I know is that CY may go really down if keeps following the same strategy. This would be a shame for a genius, so I hope he wakes up to himself immediately.

As a last word about the movie, its just a simple comedy. If I knew that before then Id not pay for it but wait until its on TV.

Cem's first films, such as G.O.R.A and A.R.O.G, are a masterpiece for the history of Turkish movies. However, in 2015 and later, we see that the attraction in his films has disappeared. He now produces films for his commercial concern. We can say this by looking at the increase his films in recent years. And their latest films are not as effective as their old movies. I'm not saying anything to his direction or editing, he's above standards. But I think he should do a self criticism as well. I think this film has nothing to distinguish it from other Turkish films. A kind of movie that people can watch when they get bored.

If it's a movie by Cem Yilmaz, I'll watch it. Even if it's not good.

This movie is not good.

I'm a big fan of Cem Yilmaz, but this movie is of lower quality than I expected. It could be the worst movie I've ever seen from Cem Yilmaz. We enjoy it from time to time, but this can not be Cem Yilmaz film.

To me Cem Yılmaz is the funniest person in Turkey by far! But the film i watched yesterday was not funny that much. Maybe this was because of my high expectation level, maybe it was really not good enough. Although Cem Yılmaz always has positive credits from my perspective, i can easily say that this was his worst film. I know that he has the talent to do much better movies. Because he has a brilliant sense of humour.Although he has great ideas, i can not say the same thing about his direction performance. I think he ought to work with better professionals to convert his great ideas to great movies. Because, compare to his stand- up shows, his movies are really sucks. As a Cmylmz lover i expect better movies from him.

p.s: The Russian girl was really beautiful but her performance was one of the worst performance i have seen recently!
