Montagne II

The Turkish producers and directors are doing their job well at the moment! Look at this movie! It is just terrific! I liked the first part of this movie, but the second part is much more better than the first one. They used real artillery, helicopters and real machine guns and rifles in this movie! The MPT76 is the first national Turkish assault rifle and they used it in cooperation with the gun factory MKE. The actors got real military training for a few months before shooting this film in order to increase the realness and always used real military gear and equipment during the shootings! Just go and watch it, you won't regret it!

I enjoyed the movie..... but there is NO WAY it should have a rating that high... which calls into question the validity of the reviews. Obvious Turkish propoganda but the final battle scene was well done. Acting was very good but the tone was a bit too dramatic for me. Mediocre film with the rating of a mecca film... Personally I think there are only a select-few movies that warrant a rating above a 9: Pulp Fiction GoodFellas The Lord of the Rings Trilogy The Dark Knight Godfathers Part 1 & 2 Shawshank Redmption Psycho Rear Window Inception The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly..... No way The Mountain II ranks amongst those titans..... Can't score lower though because in all honesty the production was very well done and was a very believable setpiece.

I don't usually watch foreign films before but this was a in-depth amazing film. It has character building. It shows perspective on both sides both civilian and the military on their ideas on how to build a better world. Stunning cinematography and incredible dialogues. It makes you understand why to become a soldier is not all about glory but really to serve it's people. It shows also why journalist do what they do show the cruelty that is in the world and why they criticize violence against violence and human rights. It shows also the civilians who fall in between as victims and the conflict of standing by to do your duty or doing what you know is right. Here you will really have an understanding on what it really means to serve and have a country. On further note: If it's true that the Turks army do not curse then I have deeper respect for that kind of military discipline. A REAL Officer and a gentlemen. My hats off to the maker of this film. You should be proud on making this film and sharing it to the world.

If you are not exposed to Turkish culture and atmosphere, you should not watch this film because there is nothing aimed at you. This film makes sense and bring home to only those people. I cannot say it is a 9 rated film but it is a decent film, maybe one of the best films ever made in Turkey. If you expect it will have some American or European cultural ideas, there is not even a mention and it will disappoint you at the end of the film. There is no intention to make a Turkish Army propaganda in the plot and I must say some of critics are stereotypically underestimating the Turkish Army which is not the one as same as in the film's so these all the comments are wrong (perhaps this is another disappointment for some people). They have only created a story about military soldiers and the messes they deal with and it is only a cinema film.

I saw this without seeing the first part but still I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The Mountain II shows perspective on both sides both civilian, the military and the journalist. It shows also why journalist do what they do show the cruelty that is in the world and why they criticize violence against violence and human rights. It shows also the civilians who fall in between as victims and the conflict of standing by to do your duty or doing what you know is right. The Mountain II is movie that makes you realize how life is precious and how honour and duty.

The explanation by the team leader to this fellow commando on saving the journalist was top notch. Even the contents of the letter which team leader gives to journalist was very well done.

In this movie we see a lots of great examples of best visual effects. And also it has its own realistic scenes as well. The connection between soldiers were so great, enthusiastic and natural.

I give this movie my highest recommendation. If you want to watch military movie from Turkish cinema, you should watch this movie. Must watchable movie.
