08/17/2014 It's crap, but I liked it much better than that thing Ridley Scott made. It has none of that liberal guilt or glorification of Islam. I want to see a Columbus that kicks ass and does not apologize for anything. See more 09/27/2013 Look for the Director's Cut to see the cameo of John Hillerman as a Chief Mate. Otherwise the film is only good for one viewing. See more 12/19/2012 No energy, feeling, commitment or even care by anyone involved in this movie is extremely evident....I'm looking at you Marlon Brando! He is so big in this movie he's kind of hard to miss. The Discovery is very boring at times and completely over the top at others, it's like it has no idea what it wants to do with itself. Benicio Del Toro does about as well as he can with the material hes been given, the same can go for Robert Davi who are both saving graces. By this time Brando didn't care at all and can you blame him? It's best to stay away from this.

And Mario Puzo knows nothing of Christopher Columbus. See more 05/23/2012 ★ (out of four) It pains me to give such a bad review to any film that features who is probably my all-time favprite actor, Marlon Brando. Nevertheless, this is his worst performance in his worst movie, and there is no way of getting away from it. Christopher Columbis is blandly played this time around by George Corraface. He is seeking his opportunity to explore new worlds. He must, however, get permission from Tomas de Torquemada, played by Brando. The script is a bore and jumps around with no thought or reason. It's too bad since the screenplay was written by Mario Puzo. I guess everyone was having a bad year when they made this.

Lacks any real character and could pass for a fictional adventure movie, anyway it killed a few hours. See more Read all reviews
