Aranybulla

Utter waste of time, the screenpay is mediocre, writing is horrendously bad. It pretends to be a historical story but the plot has not much to do with the real historic events or characters. A sorry attempt to romanticise the non existent Hungarian greatness for a big load of govt. Financial contribution. It dares do compare itself with Game of Thrones, that is the best joke in the series, nevertheless if it is referring to the alternative history than I understand the link. This is the same disgusting agit-prop type story about imaginary and sugarclad history which was flourishing during the imfluzof USSR, but wait in those days Hungarian directors has balls and dared to write things like: the Russians are already in the storage room. Nowdays they truly are...

I recently watched the miniseries "Aranybulla" and it was a complete waste of time. The directing was abysmal and the story was so boring that I found myself struggling to keep my eyes open. The actors were equally awful and seemed to be just going through the motions without any real emotion or depth to their performances.

The plot was completely predictable and unoriginal, and it seemed like the writers didn't even try to make it interesting. The dialogue was clunky and forced, and the characters were one-dimensional and unlikable.

I found myself fast forwarding through most of the episodes because I just couldn't bear to sit through another minute of this poorly made miniseries. The special effects were also subpar and added nothing to the story.

Overall, the miniseries was a complete disappointment. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I can't believe I wasted my time on it. It's a shame that such a poorly made miniseries was even made in the first place. Avoid it at all costs.

I had high expections since I knew the hungarian goverment spent tremendous money to make this movie. My family and I (bare in mind we are a conservative, history respecter family) sat down and watch the whole series in 3days during the Christmas holidays. If only we would do something else... It was long, borring, full of fake historical facts, not to mention the bad actors.. 😞 It was honestly, pain to watch!

If you dont want to suffer, do a favor for yourself and do not spend your precious time to watch this movie.

You were warned. God bless Hungary and its people, but gosh it was probavly the worst series I have ever watched....

This is not a work of art. There is no srcipt, no scenery, backgrounds are missing. A dozen horseman crawl on the meadow (episode 4, 5), the king passes laws with three (!) lords on the meadow, too (end of episode 5.), sometimes you can see a wall of a cathedral, a well or a tree. Experts relate what happened instead of showing it on the screen. From time to time drawings, maps, little banners or tin soldiers subtitute the real scenes.

Narration is boring like some kind of a dreary lesson from an old and dusty textbook; dialoges are lifeless, they aim only to illustrate the ideology of the producers: King II. András was a great and wise christian leader, hungarians are christians, they protect Europe against the islam. This message directly refers to the ideology of the recent political power: Orbán Viktor protects the christianity against the rotten liberalism of the western countries.

As we Hungarians would say, this production is totally a "paraszt vakitàs!" considering how the Hungarian government is using public funds creating propaganda "movies or TV series".

The real authentic Hungarian film making has died but mainly ignored or either emigrated overseas giving us the audience a magical motion picture experience!

We Hungarians basically give one of the best platform opportunities by making motion picture for Hollywood and thats where it ends unfortunately!!!😔 At the moment the latest political regime in Hungary has cancelled the free arts and culture institutes despite of make it larger and greater.
