Isenhart - Die Jagd nach dem Seelenfänger

Recommended (be wary slightly slowpaced & relatively low budget)

I exspected a fantasy and got a history/action (possibly slightly sci-fi to it as well).

It's a good watch, it is slow at times, but the story is given time to evolve as it should. The effects are not all there even though costume possibly pulled off an incredible feat (depending on budget). However it still isn't fully enough as some helmets does not suit it's bearer and some extras does not fill the shoes as well as they should. Gore and grit is pretty much there, which is a big plus. The cast is alright, the lead (pretty unknown to me) is alright but does not excell - however does not remove realism from it either which is mostly down to the dialogue (which is well written). The acting overall could be a little better but isn't below average for similar movies, rather slightly above.

Pro's • Script • Dialogue (up and down but mostly solid) • Original plot line (or at least have the feeling thereof) • Costume & scenery • Director (which probably made ends meet)

Con's • Budget (?) - doesn't reach all the way • Some elements are slightly improved upon by modern norms/rationale

End notes: This isn't Braveheart, on the other hand it does not have a white van it in either. I liked it, it shows that you can do quite big historical movies with a relatively small budget. -It's quite well crafted for similar movies and delivers on originality.
