As a hungarian person I'm honestly embarrased that this is how the movie about one of our most important cultural figure and event turned out. The whole thing is very fustrating, since it could have been such an interesting movie about a resolution that was won with the power of the people without any bloodshed, but noooooo... Around 6 milliard hungarian forints and we get this garbage. I have never been this angry at a movie before. So much wasted potential...
Disclaimer: The actors, actresses did nothing bad, they were honestly the best part of the movie. It's just that they weren't give much to work with. Also, the costume and the set designers did an amazing job as well.
The 12 points:
1. The whole movie lacks all around any kind of emotional impact. Even when the dramatic music plays, you only feel nothing but confusion.
2. The story doesn't make sense. Scences just follow eachother without any connection or impact.
3. If you don't know anything about hungarian history, the movie is unwatchable. With out context, the charahters are nameless faces and things just happen without a real reason.
4. Most people don't even get a namerop or a proper introduction in the story, let alone a personality.
5. All most all scenes of a certain madeup plotline could have been cutband it would have shortened the movie by more than an hour.
6. The action scenes are completly out of place in this story. Most of them are also pointless and completly removable.
7. The scenes that copy famous movies are too much and the feel very odd in this story. This is a historical movie, not a superhero movie.
8. Trying to make this an action full film is somewhat destroying the point of the original historical event.
9. There is no charachter development and nothing that helps the watcher connect to any of the charahters.
10. The whole thing didn't have a message or any kind of wisdom. Despite being a very important event that decided the fate of our country's history, this felt like a soulless fictional retelling.
11. The hungarian voices sounded like a bad dub recorded after the movie even though the actors are hungarian. The voices also didn't match the actors lips in some places.
12. The CGI was a bit messy sometimes, but the resolution was more distracting. During some scenes everything looked as if you were watching a film someone uploaded to a pirate site.
