So sad, that millions of Euros were used from hungarian public funds to create such a motion picture filled with lies and inaccuracy about a hungarian historical event during 2006.

It is also a shame that both the director and the director of photography are not hungarians which is to show that this is a political propaganda movie that is fiction. Hungarian filmmakers are very known in the movie industry with couple of Oscars to confirm it but this movie is so overrated trying to convince the hungarian audience that it is a non-fiction.

I was there in Budapest during the 2006 political demonstrations and after watching the movie for free of course I had that terrible feeling about how the current hungarian political party in power is using all means necessary to brainwash hungarian people by creating propaganda movies.

In Hungary at the moment the government is an autocratic regime trying to silence all opposition parties and using every tool to stay in power. This movie also shows that it has nothing to do with artistic filmmaking but to favor the hungarian ruling government by creating a propaganda cinema!!!

A movie can be carried by three things: a good plot, amazing visuals or interesting characters. This one had none of it, except for historically mostly accurate sets, which really stood out in this absolute waste of data.

The plot itself is mostly based on a conspiracy theory, and the characters are either the most goody-two shoes boyscout characters, while the antagonists are only fueled by the power of pure evil. I'm not even kidding, Voldemort and the Emperor aren't even close. And what for? Well, prepare to die with that question, because even Darren Cross in Ant-Man seems to have fairly valid motivations in comparison.

The cinematography is just... meh? It's got no personality whatsoever, and it just feels like it's shot with a generic template for an action movie (which is really dumb, because this is the most boring pile of crap I've ever seen).

The pacing is also so off... Even living through the whole thing in real time seemed to have better flow than sitting through this movie.

All in all, this kind of good vs. Evil story wouldn't hold up in 2021 even if the villains had reasonable motivations, because there are zero shades thrown around, it's pure black and white. Any spoiler warning is completely useless, because there is literally nothing to spoil in this plot.

And don't get me started on the "marketing" of this movie.

0/10, worse than Daredevil 2004, but at least that was sometimes funny.

What was this movie? It wouldn't be a good movie even if it wasn't a propaganda movie, as it's plot can not be followed. And it has Karácsony in it!???? This movie wants to be something, but it cannot be. The acting wasn't so bad.

I'm okay with the story, but the timeline is slow. The actors are not professionals.

I have watched two movies/series this week. One is this movie and another or a series. The amount of effor went into this movie is horrible. The acting is horrible and feels like I am watching a Brazil soap opera the After watching an animated show about sibilings this is still worst. Go watch Arcane from Netflix! It's great compared to this dump!
