wonderfull

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion this film is quite underrated and it's a real shame because it's really quite entertaining, funny and even if not too inspired it's really very valid, in my opinion it not only deserves full satisfactory but rather it deserves a very, very much more than sufficient rating because it succeeds It's a good idea not to get bored by producing a film about the history of a very important period but one that has little context in terms of cinematography compared to many others. The film is beautiful both for the actors who play in it and for the historical characters who appear, all truly amazing and truly well characterised.

only an unconvincing sketch

generous theme. interesting idea. and the race to the end. the significant potential of the contact between Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors is only a sketch. the love story - not convincing. the presence of Bud Spencer - far to be enough to give some charm to a film who seems lost the subject. fights and an impossible love. influences from Pocahontas and the caricature of Monctezuma. nothing serious, nothing credible. only a childish fresco with a stupid end. few good intentions and influence of the historical American films from the "50's. something missing for give sense to a heroic episode of the Precolumbians civilizations. all seems be a homework of a lazy student.

Mediocre historical movie

Rodrigo (Carlos Fuentes) and Quintero (Bud Spencer) are shipwrecked at the coast of Mexico - and are hailed as gods by the local tribes who have never seen blond hair (and later, neither cannons nor horses). When an army of 500 arrives under command of Cortes, the conquistador decides to fight an empire, burning the ships behind him to march towards the capital of the Aztecs and their king Moctezuma (Manuel Ojeda).

A mediocre historical movie with poorly staged battle scenes, wisely focusing its attention on a love story between Rodrigo and Tizcuitl (Ursula Murayama) instead. Screen legend Bud Spencer, by then around 70 years old, plays the best friend of the hero. Still a weird choice to appear in this rather small production.
