Note de lyre
This is a movie which clearly takes itself very seriously. Unfortunately, non-Turkish viewers will be left wondering what the point was.
It's long, slow, mawkish, melodramatic, clichéd, hackneyed and silly at turns.
The main character is apparently some noble mountain bandit, who is perhaps a well-known figure in Turkish mythology, but for someone not familiar with the back story, he's not particularly compelling.
The secondary character who becomes his sort of adopted son, is a blow-hard, foolish, boring drug-dealing low-level would-be gangster.
None of the relationships are the slightest bit compelling, and the Bandit's behavior is odd but not particularly interesting.
The ending does contain some fireworks (literally), but the foolishness of the plot, the shallowness of the characters, the poor special effects (red paint instead of even slightly believable blood), and the long-winded slowness of the movie make it barely watchable and completely unnecessary.
Perhaps some insights into the Turkish psyche can be obtained by watching this stinker. After all, they seem to think it's a great movie so something about it must move them.
But if you're looking for artistic cinema, or even a bit of entertainment, look elsewhere.

Pan's Labyrinth is a beautifully made film.
The story lines are well crafted, subplots are expertly woven together, emotions are evoked without it seeming heavy-handed.
The acting is excellent all around, and the film looks gorgeous.
If only there was less gratuitous violence and bloodshed.
After the first scene of cruelty and gore, we get the idea. But Del Toro doesn't stop there. He keeps showing is more and more of the same.
For me, that changed my rating from a 9 or 10 down to a 6.
Without so much violence, this could have been one of favorite movies of all time. With it, I doubt I'll watch it again.
