Too much of everything
Sadly Over-hyped
I wanted to but couldn't!
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
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.
