      Audience Member "Este taco no sabe rico". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Der Film selbst ist meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Monumentalfilmen aller Zeiten, die Mittel mit welchen der Film gedreht wurde ist unerreichbar und wird es auch immer bleiben, schon alleine die Statisten sind so zahlreich wie nirgendwo sonst, Tausende und aber Tausende von Statisten wurden bei den Schlachten und Belagerungen eingesätzt. Heutzutage gibts sowas nur noch mit Computanimation. Mit einer Lauflänge von knappen 188 Minuten ist der Film auf jedenfall Abendfà 1/4llend und wird jeden Ritterfan fesseln. Mit einem Budget von knappen 7 Million Dollar, spielte der Film alleine in Amerika 21 Million ein und wurde ein Weltweiter Erfolg, dem Filme wie der Fall des Römischen Reiches und 55 Tage in Peking folgten, doch keiner reicht annährend an El Cid! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the proof that good intentions aren't enough. They tried to make a Dreamworks/Disney style movie, but fell short. It's not bad, just clumsy. The animation is good, the cloth and hair animation is amazing, but the criteria to what should be 3D, and what should't seems random. The soundtrack is a collection of nice music, good themes, but most of the time it completly misses the feel of the scene. Good music, bad soundtrack. Some parts of the story seem a bit rushed and the final fight... just doesn't feel like a final fight. In spite of all that, I liked it, and recommend it. Just don't expect much. Oh, and the color scheme is the worst I've ever seen in an animated feature. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Of course, nothing to do with historical reality, but, well, they are cartoons. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather than actually telling the story the filmmakers dress it up with kiddish dialogue and humor with very little action. The animation is not very impressive and they all look like cardboard cutouts. The action or so they call it is actually quite humorous, they get an enemy in a position to kill him and instead they hit him with a rock or something I found my self laughing more than leaning in and watching and getting involved with a story that is not really well known and this movie does not help that but then again I don't know if it's a story that should be told. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Fine rendition of this historical period. Just a little disturbed by the men anatomies. Hopefully we are not as bulk as those drawings or we couldn't wash our ears. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
