Botev

The joke of a director strikes again with another hero from Bulgarian pantheon. After "Levski" failure the person MG decided to do it again, this time with "Botev". Everything about this "movie" is poor and stingy. Everything. I don't know how this person MG finds funding for it's "creations" but maybe he is very good with marketing or has very strong ties to government funds. There's no way someone with clear mind after watching Levski to give a penny to this dude to make another one. But somehow it happened unfortunately. MG should be convicted for making fun of Bulgarian national symbols and delivering such poor result it is almost unwatchable. Shame, shame shame...

If this film dares to take 9$ and two whole hours of your precious time, then, even though I'm not a part of the crew behind this masterpiece, I dare to apologise on their behalf for taking your money and time.

2/10 - for the job opportunities created during its making.

Maxim Genchev should be forbidden from directing any movies. Especially about great heroes like Botev and Levski. This poor excuse of a movie is an insult. Deyan Zhekov and Niki Iliev were actually good but the movie is very poorly directed unfortunately. I am shocked that this movie was even released. The direction was abysmal and it seemed like the filmmakers had no clear vision for the story they were trying to tell. The editing was choppy and jarring, making it nearly impossible to follow along with the plot. I was extremely disappointed and cannot recommend this to anyone. It was a complete waste of time.

A total tragedy, absolute bad acting, as well as the filming. Far from the history of this great Bulgarian. The only purpose of this tragedy is the absorption of funds! This semblance of a film has no place in appreciation and should be taken off the screen and distributed immediately! A mockery with the Bulgarian cinema. Unworthy actors and directors qualities!!

Maxim Genchev...aren't you ashamed of what nonsense you have created for money???

How can you tarnish the name of Botev in such a way? You should be excommunicated from everywhere, go to some circus and hand out popcorn to those who you think are actors! Shame and shame again!

It is a great story, but unfortunately very poorly directed. I expect a lot more of that movie. If you are not familiar with the Bulgarian history it will be very hard to figure it out what is happening and why is happening.
