Now or Never!

As a hungarian person I'm honestly embarrased that this is how the movie about one of our most important cultural figure and event turned out. The whole thing is very fustrating, since it could have been such an interesting movie about a resolution that was won with the power of the people without any bloodshed, but noooooo... Around 6 milliard hungarian forints and we get this garbage. I have never been this angry at a movie before. So much wasted potential...

Disclaimer: The actors, actresses did nothing bad, they were honestly the best part of the movie. It's just that they weren't give much to work with. Also, the costume and the set designers did an amazing job as well.

The 12 points: 1. The whole movie lacks all around any kind of emotional impact. Even when the dramatic music plays, you only feel nothing but confusion.

2. The story doesn't make sense. Scences just follow eachother without any connection or impact.

3. If you don't know anything about hungarian history, the movie is unwatchable. With out context, the charahters are nameless faces and things just happen without a real reason.

4. Most people don't even get a namerop or a proper introduction in the story, let alone a personality.

5. All most all scenes of a certain madeup plotline could have been cutband it would have shortened the movie by more than an hour.

6. The action scenes are completly out of place in this story. Most of them are also pointless and completly removable.

7. The scenes that copy famous movies are too much and the feel very odd in this story. This is a historical movie, not a superhero movie.

8. Trying to make this an action full film is somewhat destroying the point of the original historical event.

9. There is no charachter development and nothing that helps the watcher connect to any of the charahters.

10. The whole thing didn't have a message or any kind of wisdom. Despite being a very important event that decided the fate of our country's history, this felt like a soulless fictional retelling.

11. The hungarian voices sounded like a bad dub recorded after the movie even though the actors are hungarian. The voices also didn't match the actors lips in some places.

12. The CGI was a bit messy sometimes, but the resolution was more distracting. During some scenes everything looked as if you were watching a film someone uploaded to a pirate site.

Actualy the facts Tell the story. The movie is indeed so bad, that none is wanting to see it. At this moment it can be seen free of charge. Yet , none wants to see it. A few payd actors do give this movie a higher Than 1 star rating , but the reality is , its not even worth zero stars.

But lets see the good side. If ever you are disapointed by a movie , Just think about thisone. And presto , you will see, it could had been worse. Way worse.

Ironic, but this is the only way this movie can make some sense. A lot of money was put in it , a lot of absolutely wasted efforth. The end result is anything but coherent. Allso its not historicly accurate .

Even if this was an Oscar winning production (which it isn't), due the fact that it was made of government subsidies given to a crony instead of real, talented artists on merit, it should not even be on IMBD. This is the equivalent of rating a tampon commercial produced and paid by P&G. Most of Hungary's best talents are working in other countries now. Too bad because the subject of the movie deserves better treatment.

The movie itself uses lots of violence to depict a revolution that was essentially peaceful. It also uses as a premise the use of the Hungarian language for the revolution which is misleading as Budapest was 80% German speaking at the time.

In conclusion, good tax payer money was wasted (again) just to glorify the self serving interests of some government cronies. This project (I am not calling it a movie on purpose) does not deserve to be here, amongst real movies made by real artists.

What a torture!

Obviously, the best part of this nonsense is when the credits start rolling. Hungary has lost its power over the last 15 years with our young and educated escaping this regime, this movie clearly shows the intellectual depth the ruling 2/3 is capable for...

If the film were done well, a revolution would start against the ruling party, and this is the film that the original Petofi and those around him would like.

Those who cried... I totally get you. The waste of money sunk under this title could be much better used in healthcare or education, to name a few.

Save your eyes/soul; stay away!

I don't know where to start. Really really bad acting - as usual, totally no historical background check, cheap game of thrones knock off music, I kinda also get a western movie vibe off it. It's a big big mess, if we compare this movie to a house, than it's a gold coated mansion which was built on a swamp from cheap materials and has no electricity, no water whatsoever. It makes the news for one day, then it is forgotten forever rotting in the overgrown bushes. You can see that they poured tons of money in it, but still managed to create an empty vessel of a film. This is so sad. I am so sad. This era would have deserved a quality movie, not this... thing.
