Die Legende von Kolovrat

I enjoyed this film about an amnesic soldier hell bent on revenge. It gets a 7 star rating from me mostly because the english translation was broken and it hindered my ability to understand all that was taking place. Even with that barrier, I still understood most of what was going on and I liked what I was seeing. One thing that really helped out was how beautiful some of the camera and CGI work was. I'm glad I checked it out.

The plot is fairly generic and the characters are essentially undeveloped. It's a movie where you know what to expect heading into it. My only issue was the voice overs. Half of the time a womans voice was for men, and would carry over to surrounding men in passing comments. It made much of the dialogue very confusing to track. This was on Prime, so possibly some versions are subtitled with the original audio (which would be preferable).

The movie maybe isn't perfect in some historical facts, but still much better than this piece of s**t called Viking. It has some similarities to "300" and "The Patriot" but is still something original to watch.

I absolutley enjoyed the movie, the style, the actors, costumes, camera work, etc.. It is miles better than the russian movie Vikings.

The recipe is familiar. the purpose is obvious. and the references to 300 Spartans are, in few points, a good detail ( except the poor Batu Khan transformed in clone of Xerxes ). the slices of video games are, maybe, useful. love, revenge, a vulnerable hero and something who only the historical Russian films give. a sort of heroism who defines more the passion than the art. the historical accuracy is not the virtue, the portrait of mongols is just a sketch with many cliches but it is a beautiful homage to a legendary hero. and that is the key. sure, not ignoring the propaganda aspect and , in my case, the profound subjectivity - Kolovratov was one of the heroes of my childhood..
