Tômiris

I will say I hesitated quite a bit before watching this movie largely because I have become very tired of all of the Hollywood warrior princess movies out there today. And the last thing I wanted to see was another invincible woman killing all the imbecile "bad men". However after reading some of the more credible reviews on IMDb I decided to give this a chance. And I am very glad I did. This movie is not so much about a woman warrior as it is about a woman leader and her peoples way of life. Yes Tomiris is portrayed as a fierce fighter but that is not what the movie is about instead there are a lot of great male leads in this film who carry a lot of the action. What I enjoyed most about this movie, other than learning about a small piece of history I did not know or I had simply overlooked, was the way the Director and producers made the film without engaging in any gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence, or gratuitous profanity. This is what historical movies used to be about and I really hope we see more. Unfortunately I regret that I do not have any expectations of seeing a movie like this made in the USA by an American studio. So I felt a duty to spread the word. You can find quality "inclusive" films if you look hard enough and take some time to do your homework.

Braveheart was not a particularly accurate movie from a historical standpoint. Doesn't mean it wasn't a really good, fun movie.

I can't, and won't, speak about historical accuracy of Tomiris, as I don't know it. But I can and will give my opinion of the movie as entertainment.

It's quite enjoyable. A touch slow at times. I never liked the priest very much. But the rest is well worth your time.

Im an iranian and to all of my people for god sake please first watch then judge who knows what happend thousands of years ago.

I'm from the US and I thought it was a fantastic story. Well deserving of the rating I gave it. If you're a history fan like me, this is the type of movie you want to watch.

2500 year old story with all the trappings of an Arabian Nights Tale, well developed characters, mysticism, religion, politics, family, beautiful enormous visual canvas and lots of horses. The story has an authentic feel, deals with issues of joining nomadic and proud peoples. It is a long story but worth hanging in till the end. It will lift your spirits.
