Aranybulla

This was "crowdfunded" from our taxes, at least good actors/actresses were chosen, but the script, cinematography, direction is awful #NERgasm.

Some have certainly benefited from their contribution to the film. It's pathetic that anyone would compare it to the Game of Thrones , but nothing is surprising anymore in this orange haze that is enveloping the country.

Hopefully this will never be broadcasted again on television and will not take up server space anywhere for streaming/VOD purposes.

"We have also decreed that if We or any of our successors should at any time seek to go against this settlement, both the bishops and the retainers and the nobles of the kingdom, in common or in singularly, now and in the future, have by this authority for ever more the freedom to resist and speak against Us and our successors, without the taint of infidelity."

I had high expections since I knew the hungarian goverment spent tremendous money to make this movie. My family and I (bare in mind we are a conservative, history respecter family) sat down and watch the whole series in 3days during the Christmas holidays. If only we would do something else... It was long, borring, full of fake historical facts, not to mention the bad actors.. 😞 It was honestly, pain to watch!

If you dont want to suffer, do a favor for yourself and do not spend your precious time to watch this movie.

You were warned. God bless Hungary and its people, but gosh it was probavly the worst series I have ever watched....

I recently watched the miniseries "Aranybulla" and it was a complete waste of time. The directing was abysmal and the story was so boring that I found myself struggling to keep my eyes open. The actors were equally awful and seemed to be just going through the motions without any real emotion or depth to their performances.

The plot was completely predictable and unoriginal, and it seemed like the writers didn't even try to make it interesting. The dialogue was clunky and forced, and the characters were one-dimensional and unlikable.

I found myself fast forwarding through most of the episodes because I just couldn't bear to sit through another minute of this poorly made miniseries. The special effects were also subpar and added nothing to the story.

Overall, the miniseries was a complete disappointment. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I can't believe I wasted my time on it. It's a shame that such a poorly made miniseries was even made in the first place. Avoid it at all costs.

Even if we disregard the claims of the creators about the historicity of this miniseries (which is clearly false), or that it is an utter waste of taxpayer money (since its entire budget of $4m is state-financed, with a nearly zero box office), it is also badly written, features mediocre acting and is terribly boring!

These kinds of idealistic series or movies were typical in communist Hungary between 1950 and 1980. But those at least had some viewers, as there was only one television channel in the country.

The script is completely braindead. Lacks any character development. The actors were chosen according to their loyalty towards government officials. It doesn't feature any of the famed and generally accepted Hungarian actors, since those are regarded to be too "liberal" who "cannot be trusted". Just look at the fact that one of the main actors Balázs Bölkény attended the same faculty on the same university as half of the current government: The faculty of law on the Pázmány Péter Catholic University. And this is the guaranteed recipe for bad quality products: contraselection!

This mini-series is a humiliation not only of an important event in Hungarian history, but also of the art of cinema. The incumbent Fidesz, a far-right party and its Putin's lapdog PM in power ordered a propaganda mouth piece that has become a visual garbage funded by taxpayers' money, and is characterized by utter incompetence and ignorance.

The characters move like puppets without understanding or even inhabiting their roles, and the direction and the visual realization of the series is completely amateurish. What is more, to portray the Hungarian kingdom in the early 13th century as the sole defender of European Christianity is tantamount to falsifying history. There is a succession of "great kings", "wisest rulers", "most successful periods" in Hungarian history, kings who were "no greater warriors", and one need not bother to find out what exactly this means.

Stay away from watching it at any cost.
