Iron & Blood: The Legend of Taras Bulba (2009)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

In same time, an error and a masterpiece. A film in which history is only an political instrument. Strong, hilarious and aggressive. And a movie in which every detail is explore in fantastic way. So, the result is a schizoid work. Shadows of Jirinovsky and medieval air. A fake Ukraine and romantic sticks. A huge picture and a boring manifesto. But the delicate fact is the absence of Gogol. The director, in past maker of spectacular pages of lost history, is in this sad case only organiser of a Russian propaganda show. Enthusiastic and full of good intentions, he crushes the original story. The Christmas tree is impressive; but only ornaments. The wood is far of the public. It is difficult to say if "Taras Bulba" is a disaster. The crumbs are good taste. The cake is old and strange. But the memory is more tempt by the beautiful coins and Kosacs costumes.

Taras Bulba the movie had very great deep meaning to it, very good actors, one of my favorite movies now. But the fighting scenes were bad, guess they ran out money when they bought too many expensive actors and actually filmed the movie in Zaporozhia, Ukraine, unlike many Hollywood movies where they are filmed in a studio the whole time.My father called this movie Bumer 3, if you haven't watch those movies watch them, he called them this because they have very great meanings but are ruined because not enough money or modern use of directing is used in these movies.Overall this movie is great and I hope you see it.

I was really looking forward to watch this movie but when I actually got to see it, I couldn't stand more than 15 min of this amateur level time waster- silly and unbelievable speeches, video, sound effects... it was just horrible. I fast forwarded to the battle scenes and it was just as bad- a bunch of people in pretty dresses running around, gunshot sounds taken straight out of old western movies, Polish hussars charges looked like a slow walk in a park.. the whole thing looked like a parody.If this movie was a college cinematography project, I would give it 7/10, but it wasn't, so I give 2/10 for nice dresses.

It is a unsuccessful screen version. Fights and if film consists half of war it is shown as old shootings 50 years ago are very badly made. Actors are good, but that pathos of patriots is far-fetched. It is not present at Gogol. The director did not know my opinion that on a genre will be better and has drowned all in blood.The big minus that if a trick master has been expelled from movie by director. It is a minus to the director who cannot work on modern movie. And the result of visually beautiful duels is a parody of the battle. It is attempt to make rigid cinema ridiculous when you see as fight on a background cossacks. For the main heroine have forgotten to write the text - it only laughs. Each cossack considers as the duty (before death) to tell pathos words. But they are unnatural in such situation.I am assured, that it is cinema 25000000 dollars are not necessary
