Absolutely unenjoyable

The main plot thread is devoid of any tension, conflict or drama: a few young men are talking and walking around the city. We don't know anything about their personalities at all, they don't have any character traits, they can't be distinguished from each other. Absolutely unenjoyable The music is constantly blaring, it suppresses everything, it doesn't lift you up, it tires you terribly.

The other plot thread (intrigues of the ustrian secret agent) is meant to add some kind of plot to the film, but this one is so rough and fairy-tale-like, cliché that it feels more like some kind of parody. The sets and the costumes may not be bad, but that's very little for a movie. The fights are ridiculous.

This film has no features to shame for, it has correct script, acting, scenery, the visuality is acceptible. The story is dynamic, the sets are well built. Like 'Kincsem,' it is absolute watchable, but if it wasn't a hungarian movie, it wouldn't be interesting for me.

Unfortunately, it is precisely the portrayal of the main character that seems to me to be a weak point, at least after watching the first two episodes. Kádár Gellért's Hunyadi is the 'hero,' nothing more. Muscular, sober and handsome enough, a perfect fitness model, but he has no specific character traits, exciting identity, charisma, you can't feel the passion, obsession in him, nor erudition, nor brute force, like in Mel Gibson's Braveheart, for example. In the opening scene his parents are killed by the turks, ok, but for starting and motivation it is a little bit clichéd. Sex scenes are unnecessary, uninteresting, dull, there is nothing erotic in them. Torocsik Franciska is good, but not charismatic, Muratha Muslu is great, awesome in the role of a fearsome power.

So it is a correct movie, but won't be a cult film (as Controll, Argo, A tanú, for example).

In this film there are no any idea, absolutely. In the case of first part the creators tried to invent something, although with little success. But in that movie there was a man-spider, griff, etc. This film doesn't even try. It is a a bunch of scenes we have watched a thousand time, but these scenes appear more like parodies to me. There is no story, no characters, not atmosphere, no world, not style, not interesting planets, only starships are interesting a little bit.

When lightsaber appeared on the screen, I hardly believed what I was sawing. This idea is so iconic and belongs specially to Star Wars that stealing this weapon is so impudence I could'n imagine before.
