Load of rubbish!!
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Good actors, big budget, political crap and experimental action of historical revenge...
What a powerful movie based around the beauty and horror of the human race. It's sad to know that these events keep happening throughout history yet only a few of them make it to our history books taught in school. Beautiful movie, thank you to all who made this happen.
No big surprise that the Turkish government orchestrated a massive digital troll 1 star down-vote. You can still be arrested in Turkey for just talking about the genocide. Not a 10 star review because I'm not happy that they had to "sex up" the film with the main female character sleeping with two different men, neither one her husband. Not exactly honoring the 1.5 million godly Armenians who died. Think Turkey has changed? There's an American, Andrew Brunson, over twenty years a pastor of a small struggling church in Turkey, now in prison nearly two years because he is a Christian. Boycott Turkish apricots and Turkish Airlines until he is released and the genocide confessed.
If you're making a history movie, why are you narrating the story from a narrow point of view? Of course for the political reasons. There are much more to know about World War 1 and what was going on there in Turkey. This movie is just made to calumniate Turkish people. War is harsh, especially if you have minorities who are cooperating with the enemy. 17 million Turkish people died in World War 1. It is so useless to make it seem like Turkish people barbarically and out of blue, killed Armanians. Where is the other side of the story? What Turkish have gone through fighting with French, English, Italian, Greek and Armanian? It is a cheesy, meaningless love theme put into an argumentative view of history. Waste of time, and a dark stain for the name of Christian Bale.
