I had high hopes for "Ramon," but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The story seems to be an amalgamation of clichés and borrowed ideas from other films, without offering anything original or captivating. Although Pavel Bartos is a talented actor, his character, Ramon, failed to impress me or make me connect with him.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the film is the language used. In an attempt to be "verbally harmless" & "politically correct", it abandons any effort to add humor or authenticity to the dialogues. The result is a series of dull and boring lines that fail to bring any smiles.
Moreover, the introduction of the character Selly was a major negative point. Instead of adding value to the film, this appearance turned "Ramon" into a long commercial advertisement for an annoying pseudo-personality. The prolonged presence of Selly on the screen is truly unbearable and seems to have been added just to attract more attention and publicity.
Additionally, the film has numerous issues with continuity and character logic, which affects the credibility and coherence of the story. Some scenes seem to be thrown into the script without any clear reason, just to fill space.
The technical aspects of the film are only mediocre, with a cheap soundtrack and nothing impressive visually. This leaves the film without any visual and auditory impact, relying solely on the story and performances, which fail to compensate for the technical shortcomings.
In conclusion, "Ramon" is a film that is not worth your time. While it may bring a smile for a moment, the lack of originality, weak humor, product placement just for the sake of sponsorship and unconvincing characters make it unsuitable for more discerning moviegoers. I recommend looking for another more interesting and captivating cinematic production to spend your free time on.
