    Appallingly twisted account. Awful, terrible production.

    This is a truly awful (mal)adaptation of what is instead an incredibly fascinating and complex real story at the beginning of the 20th century. The facts are put out of context and twisted beyond belief, the characters are completely out of line with the real people they pretend to refer to, the acting is abysmal, the storyline false and tacky, and whoever was involved in this very clearly never read a line of Corbett's books. This cheap and disgusting production is the ultimate insult to the memory of Jim Corbett, a man of incredibly high integrity, courage, and commitment. It is an insult to the people of Kumaon and the Ibbotsons. It is ultimately an insult to the viewer and whoever enjoyed Corbett's tales. I give it 0 out of 10 and would sack the whole production team on the spot. Shame on them.

    Felt very disappointed and sad after watching the film

    I was super excited to see that such a film exists, also found good actors were part of it. However, after watching it for some time, I was terribly disheartened. The facts portrayed here are incomplete and in some cases wrong. Also, the movie is poorly made, sequences are wrong. This can spread such a false impression of the arduous hurdle that Jim Corbett fought. I understand bringing in the content about his personal life, but not at the cost of true events and facts. Extremely disappointed, not only as an ardent Corbett fan but as an movie/documentary watcher.

    Insulting

    This is nothing more than an insult to the memory of a great man and his legend. Not factual, charachters have no depth, feels like the entire crew knew it was bogus so they never bothered ti invest themselves in this fake story and it served them right. Waste of time, its a shameless ploy to earn a few coins based on the emotions of true fans and it fails moserably. It falls so hard on its face that its face resembles the face of a man eater victim.

    fantastic true story suffers from short run time

    The fascinating life and adventures of Jim Corbett, and this harrowing tale of a man-eating leopard (shockingly...) are done a great disservice by the BBC. Cutting this story down to fifty minutes forced the screenwriters to jam what could have been a great full feature dramatization into a what feels like one of those gimmicky three-minute novels banged out on a Times Square sidewalk by a guy with a clackity old typewriter and a brilliant command of adjectives. In other words, it showed flashes of potential that made you want it to be more fully fleshed out.

    Not that the Beeb is the only one to blame; where the screenwriters can't be blamed for the short run-time, they must take accountability for writing dialogue that ranges from merely cheesy to downright laughable, especially in scenes involving Corbett and the village wise man, and Corbett and Jean Ibbotson.

    Jason Flemyng did his best to capture Corbett's ambivalence toward his calling. Jodhi May, while likely miscast in this role playing a middle-aged woman, demonstrated why she was miscast--she's one of the best out there at portraying the strength it takes to hold back.
