Mata Hari

Is it just me or did all of the actors sound like voice dub actors? It was really strange. Weird acting; stranger voices.

Definitely entertaining, but certainly not true to history. I understand taking "poetic" license, and embellishing a mix of fiction based on fact, but they really stretched for this one. This is the kind of production that spurs me into deeper research and finding the truth of the story. I found the use of the National Emblem March in episode 8's military parade to be amusing. I hardly think and French would use a march composed by the US Air Force for the United States in their parades. Somebody didn't do their homework, but then, who knows. Nonetheless, it is entertaining and the costumes are excellent.

How can a film have such amazing sets and wardrobe, but be so horrible? Are there voice overdub? Is the dialogue out of synch? Was script rewritten and the voiced over the original? Who chopped up the story line in places? I just don't understand how this train wreck was made.

This is a very very (very) bad series. The acting is horrible, the screenplay is basic and it's full of clichés.

It strange to see people actually rated this with a 9 or a 10, it must be the crew or cast...

I almost finished the Mata Hari series, which I really liked, the costumes were great, and they were at the same time as music.
