Now or Never!

Even if this was an Oscar winning production (which it isn't), due the fact that it was made of government subsidies given to a crony instead of real, talented artists on merit, it should not even be on IMBD. This is the equivalent of rating a tampon commercial produced and paid by P&G. Most of Hungary's best talents are working in other countries now. Too bad because the subject of the movie deserves better treatment.

The movie itself uses lots of violence to depict a revolution that was essentially peaceful. It also uses as a premise the use of the Hungarian language for the revolution which is misleading as Budapest was 80% German speaking at the time.

In conclusion, good tax payer money was wasted (again) just to glorify the self serving interests of some government cronies. This project (I am not calling it a movie on purpose) does not deserve to be here, amongst real movies made by real artists.

I don't know where to start. Really really bad acting - as usual, totally no historical background check, cheap game of thrones knock off music, I kinda also get a western movie vibe off it. It's a big big mess, if we compare this movie to a house, than it's a gold coated mansion which was built on a swamp from cheap materials and has no electricity, no water whatsoever. It makes the news for one day, then it is forgotten forever rotting in the overgrown bushes. You can see that they poured tons of money in it, but still managed to create an empty vessel of a film. This is so sad. I am so sad. This era would have deserved a quality movie, not this... thing.

It fulfills the self serving, megalomaniacal desires of an untalented man.

The actors tried their best, but the script was so bad you can be the greatest actor ever, you cannot build something good from pure garbage.

One of the greatest event in the hungarian history, which literally makes every single hungarian proud it became a dumb class Z action movie with the overused clichés we saw million times already in modern cinematography.

The movie just wasnt able to pay the respect the revolutionists and this great event deserves.

We have lot of skillful professionals in the industry, maybe some day there will be a remake which wont serve the greediness and selfishness of a few but pays tribute to our great and brave ancestors.

Looking forward to it.

Sorry, I was hoping for more. This movie is more of a turbocharged costume marvel than a historical adventure. I expected more and especially a more faithful following of real events. When will we understand that a movie story is original. If it is based on real events, it should be better aligned with them. If it's made up, then write at the beginning that it's just a made up story. But then the names and places should be transformed accordingly.

That not really!

If the children taken out of school form an image of the events of 1948 based on this, it is not appropriate to grade their paper!

Now or Never (although it's supposed to be a spectacular historical epic with a big budget), fails to keep you engaged during its unduly long running time of over two hours.

It has its better moments, but these moments are overshadowed by serious dramaturgical errors, tragicomic events, tiresome formal solutions and largely boring characters based on archetypes. I feel sorry for the schoolchildren for whom this will be 'compulsory schooling'; it is certainly not for this reason that they will come to love Petofi, and it is certainly not for this reason that they will become interested in any historical events.

This money could have been put to a better use, and I'm very sorry to see that smaller but talented producers don't get a chance to prove themselves in Hungary, just because of politics - even though you can see, that there ARE talented guys (and girls) here working on epic movies like Dune or Poor Things.
