Taken from Rio Bravo

Once again - it's too damn short! I know it's zero budget and etc, but I was spoiled by classic masterful B-movies and sydicated long running TV shows.

Pros:

• Some scenes are beautiful (riding through landscapes, knife fight and shootoot with mexicans),
• The continuation of story and lore (I like when characters remember what they said earlier),
• Cynthia and Don had nice little roles,
• It's kind of campy (sometimes, it's a plus for me),
• I can't deny that Joe Cornet gets better with directing and acting.

Cons:

• /Place your Ad here/

Have I told you it was too short? In my perfect world of dreams these characters (Ivan Turchin and Co.) have a TV show of 3 seasons 22 episodes each. I give it 10 out of 10 because Alexander Nevsky is controversial figure and amount of professional haters is pretty large. For me Alexander is a man who tought me through his books to avoid any steroids in sports. Looking forward for more sequels.

Just another "masterpiece " with Alexander Nevsky (his real surname is Kuritsyn, that means Chicken) - a self proclaimed "actor", "Mr Universe " (he actually claims he won the same title in bodybuilding as...Schwarzenegger!:)), which is insane, as he never won any, and if you really care enough to expose this impudent fraudster- google the Mr Universe winners of all times and try to find Alexander Nevsky in there. Good luck. So, this Russian-born "wanna-be Schwarzenegger" is constantly commiting publicity fraud, taking pictures with various clueless Hollywood actors, and presenting himself as their good friend, while producing ridiculously bad, money-laundry movies, where he acts as a preposterously awful high school actor with non-existent charisma. Poor guy. His mental disease is progressing, and the more he spends on acting, the more lamer his character becomes. A unique case. His "movies" must be considered only as comedies, and that strong feeling of shame that you obtain from those, only indicates of your healthy intelligence. P. S. He writes all the praising comments for himself, along with his circus members. A very cheap and talentless fraud.

It felt like watching porn, sans the smut. The actors really were so bad, I expected them to throw off all clothes and get down to business any second.

It could've been fantastic in it's own genre, had they done so.

Still giving it a rating of 2, because in some twisted way I enjoy suffering through a really bad movie.

Toward the end, things speed up and it's all very anticlimactic. Seems like everyone is tired of the whole mess, can see there's no way to make the movie any good and just want to wrap it up and call it a day.

To my horror, after it's over, they reveal that there are more movies featuring the same, wooden Russian character as the lead. They're just as bad as this, I'm sure.

I'll probably watch them, when I'm in the mood for some punishment.

This film is capable of conquering the heavens themselves. Alexander Nevsky once again shocked his fans with his brilliant vision of cinema. From the script to the direction, everything in this film is great. It is impossible to express in words the depth of my admiration. Man could not create this masterpiece. Only you, Alexander, the true incarnation of Apollo on earth, could have done this!

Watching your movie, I cried with happiness. My family wept with me, amazed at your unsurpassed genius. You've turned my perception of cinema upside down. Your representation of the Wild West was so historically accurate that I'm afraid you got access to Nikita Mikhalkov's secret documents. You have proved to the haters once and for all the insignificance of their claims. Bravo, Mr. Nevsky, Hollywood is at your feet.

Your place is not among people, but on Olympus!

TAKEN FROM RIO BRAVO is an indie western that turns out to be a sequel to ASSAULT ON RIO BRAVO, which I haven't seen, and features a couple of returning characters. I don't feel like I missed much there. This is pretty lamentable stuff, just about passable as a B-grade kind of outing, involving an outlaw gang who kidnap a number of women and the heroes who team up to get them back again. As with most low budget films in this genre, the landscape impresses but the performances don't, particularly the wooden Nevsky. Don 'The Dragon' Wilson has a small role as an Indian tracker and Cynthia Rothrock has an even smaller role, so tiny that I actually missed it.
