    An objectively bad movie - but there's more!

    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.

    Bad acting, horrible scripting

    Spending so much money on such a bad movie is a shame. Utterly boring, horrible acting and a very chaotic and unrealistic script makes this movie a waste of time.

    After watching an animated show about sibilings this is still worst.

    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!

    Horrible actors

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

    an hour of my life that i can never get back

    Poor acting, poor directing. I don't know how much this movie cost, every penny spent was absolutely not worth it. This movie (but it is s strong word) has nothing to do with the real story. Nothing. Zero. Absolutely boring, I could not even watch the whole thing. I thought Hungarian movies were a bit better. Were the actors actually studying acting at one point in their life? Because it doesn't show. The disgrace of the cinema, the disgrace of acting. Like a bunch of people who never saw any art or movie in their lives, only Latin soap operas, are taping some idiotic story. I feel sorry for those who have been dragged to the cinema by force to watch this, and I feel so sorry for those who even paid for it.

    • Trivia
      The original Hungarian title, "Elk*rtuk" (with a censored "ú") translates to "We F*cked Up". It's a quote from a leaked recording of the infamous Öszöd speech, in which then-prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány told his party members that they have lied to the Hungarian population for years.
