Encore Spain! The series keeps you at the edge of your seat. It's well acted, well directed, has impressive sets and a fantastic script, Saw it in Netflix. Heard there is a second book that follows the original novel. It's titled "Inherit the land". Sounds good. I was hoping for a Season 2 on this one. Hope Antena 3 does a Book 2 and Netflix adds it to its roaster of series.

Dynamic action all the way through. Still liked M.I, #1 best of the 5 features in the series. But this one may be second best. Rebecca Ferguson did her own stunts in the film. Wow! Here's a beautiful actress with a realistic future as a star in films. Loved her here, loved her in White Queen. Here, though, her hair was brown and I kept thinking, she reminded me of someone else. I discovered who when I saw a scene from Captain from Castile on the internet.This actress has an uncanny resemblance to actress JEAN PETERS. Think of Jean in Niagara (opposite Marilyn Monroe -two gorgeous females in the midst of true suspense and the grandeur of the falls as background). Peters had a perfect nose, though; however, when Ferguson faces the camera in close ups and in certain angles you'd think it was Peters on the screen. (Peters is also the actress who married billionaire Howard Hughes). I liked the entire cast and really enjoyed the action packed film. Tom Cruise is a fine actor and should keep on doing blockbuster films. He may not get an Academy Award for them, but he's sure getting rich and the audience loves to see him in action-adventure films.

There are many pleasant surprises in this epic movie. For one, it was filmed in spectacular Technicolor and was superbly photographed in actual locations. Piramids were built, volcanoes were erupting for real and ancient ship replicas were destroyed at sea. One of the main surprises was seeing that the beautiful Jean Peters could act. This actress without much dramatic training did an excellent job in her movie debut. She practically steals the picture from Tyrone Power - Impossible? She does, and he's very good in this one. See her last scene, while waiting to move deeper into Mexico with Cortez; it's a treasure. I became a fan after seeing Miss Peters in the pirate flick "Anne of the Indies" (she plays 'the pirate'), and have seen most of her movies since. It's a shame Fox didn't use her talents in better fares, such as Susan Hayward's "I Want to Live", but then Howard Hughes came into the picture while she was doing Castille and, I imagine, his obsession over her beauty ruined a promising career. This film is partly based on true events and has an excellent cast, a fantastic screenplay and a musical score by Arthur Newman that rivals any other composed for anepic flick -then and even now. It's on DVD now. Get it before they become extinct. It's worth seeing. Beautiful vistas, a handsome Ty Power and a gorgeous Jean Peters.
