Botev

This director has to be forbidden by law to make history movies as he has done so much harm already that everyone is talking about his movies in negative aspect. It is really worthless to talk about actors or anything else but the whole atmosphere and historic relevance are close to zero and are a disgrace for such glorified heroes as Botev or as was the case before - Levski. We want to know really where the funding for this movie comes from and why the president's daughter has a role and many other things. The movies has brought a storm of complains and rightfully, I believe this guy should be forbidden to make and cast over public television his movies about Bulgarian history as he is a disgrace.

Maxim Genchev should be forbidden from directing any movies. Especially about great heroes like Botev and Levski. This poor excuse of a movie is an insult. Deyan Zhekov and Niki Iliev were actually good but the movie is very poorly directed unfortunately. I am shocked that this movie was even released. The direction was abysmal and it seemed like the filmmakers had no clear vision for the story they were trying to tell. The editing was choppy and jarring, making it nearly impossible to follow along with the plot. I was extremely disappointed and cannot recommend this to anyone. It was a complete waste of time.

A total tragedy, absolute bad acting, as well as the filming. Far from the history of this great Bulgarian. The only purpose of this tragedy is the absorption of funds! This semblance of a film has no place in appreciation and should be taken off the screen and distributed immediately! A mockery with the Bulgarian cinema. Unworthy actors and directors qualities!!

Maxim Genchev...aren't you ashamed of what nonsense you have created for money???

How can you tarnish the name of Botev in such a way? You should be excommunicated from everywhere, go to some circus and hand out popcorn to those who you think are actors! Shame and shame again!

Please don't look at it, it's physical pain on a level that sticking needles under your fingernails can't compare to. There is no logic, my eyes hurt, everything hurts, my head hurts, I am ashamed that I speak the language these people communicate in. I constantly feel that in order to grasp what is going on I have to watch 4 films, read 7 biographies and 19 Turkish regulations and farms to grasp what is going on. Botev is constantly furious, I don't know why, he spat at least 7 times in the last 30 minutes of the film and I felt really bad. Please Please spare yourself and devote it to something usefull such as learning the top 10 most usefull knots in the world.

Pathetic, ignorant and insulting second attempt of this "director" to twist Bulgarian history. Parody is the best compliment i can give to this waste of time of a film. The acting would be funny if the subject wasn't making it sad. Maxim Genchev, a person understandingly titled Director, should just stick to doing adverting spots or even better - do the film society in Bulgaria a favour and retire.

This so called movie is an insult of Bulgarian history coming out in a very controversial moment and obviously influenced to serve Russian interest and propaganda in our country.

Acting of most of the cast is suh a joke that if the subject of the movie was different it could have been a nice parody.
