You wonder how it's possible to extract so little adventure from such a rich mine of raw material.

Technically well-made, but suffering on the artistic side for the lack of connection with the characters at an individual level. [Full Review in Spanish]

Film Inquiry

It's hard to take this film seriously when it depicts so much violence, but chooses to censor it in a way which that is detrimental to its impact, especially when it's willing to show a rape scene, but not someone being shot with an arrow.

It is worth the time, is not a feel-good movie, is an honest depiction of the people of their time, and is well-based on actual information. If you had read the conquest of Mexico records from Sahagun you would put in images of what Sahugun was describing in words. It might be a history assignment for college or high school students. It is an entertaining way of understanding human nature on its darkest side.

Once you assume the reality of American conquest, quite predictable,but a good symbol of all what was beneath.

Fun movie. I preferred Warner Herzog’s Aguirre, The Wrath of God as a more engrossing story from the same time period.
