Watch Winnetou - A New World For Free

Better Late Then Never

A Masterpiece!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Dreadful the Aoache talked LAKOTA imean if you want to make a more serious movie let it be the correct language and they act as if the Apaches were unknown with white men.They were not they met the first white man 200-300 years earlier. Really dreadful if someone knows better

A remake well starred by Nik Xhelilaj as Winnetou and Wotan Wilke as Karl May named afterwards Old Shatterhand replacing the classic roles starred by Pierre Brice and Lex Barker .Besides here appears other secondaries from the vintage series as Marie Versini and Gojko Mític. It stars Woman Wilke as Karl May , same name to novel's author , who goes USA , arriving in Ellis Island, as he works as a railway engineer. When the White men invade an Indian graveyard, Apaches led by Winnetou attack the invaders and take prisioner Karl. Later on, Winnetou forms a strong Comradeship and Friendship with the German railroad engineer . While, Shatterhand falls in love for Nacho Tschi :Lazua Larios , Winnetou sister , and Shaman of the tribe Apache. At the end happens a breathtaking confrontation on a railway bridge in some spectacular scenes that result to be the Highlights of the movie.First entry of a recent trilogy based on the famous saga written by Karl May starred by the chief Apache Winnetou and the German adventurer Old Shatterhand, being well produced by Rat Pack and Rialto with its producer Wendlandt. Glimmer and exciting western that contains adventures, action , crossfire, and gorgeous Yugoslavian exteriors magnetically photographed in which takes place the first emotive meeteing between Winnetou and Shatterhand incarnated by new and attractive actors. As Nik SHelilaj bears remarkable resemblance to Pierre Brice, as physical as acting. However, Wotan Wilke does not look like Lex Barker or Stewart Granger. This agreeable saga benefits itself from marvelous scenarios , shootouts , and larger-than-life roles. The film displays colorful and rousing cinematography with wonderful outdoors . Being shot in similar Yugoslavia landscapes from Pierre Brice/Lex Barker series , paying a nice tribute to the vintage movies . As well as a catching musical score , including the classic Ballad: the Winnetou's melody by Martín Bottcher, composer of the saga of the sixties. The motion picture was well directed by Philipp Stolzl who has made this new reboot trilogy about Winnetou formed by three good and sympathetic flicks .He formerly directed successes as The Physician, Erased, Goethe and Nordwand.

"Winnetou & Old Shatterhand" is a German German-language movie from 2016. This one runs for almost 2 hours and was directed by Philipp Stölzl. The script is by Jan Berger. these two already worked together on "The Physician", a film I quite enjoyed a lot. But back to this one here. The original work is of course by Karl May and it is a small screen release. Actually, it is the first of three Winnetou movies that premiered during the holidays 2016. You can argue that these three films are actually a mini-series (like at the German Television awards), but I believe it is correct to categorize it as three individual movies. Each film has its own story and antagonists and even if the main characters return for every film, they still felt like individual works and achievements. The two main characters here are played by Nik Xhelilaj and Wotan Wilke Möhring. The latter is certainly more known and among the most established and successful actors from his generation.Let me start by talking a bit about the old Winnetou films. I personally would not call myself a fan and I found several of them pretty boring. The hype about this trilogy here still motivated me to check out the relaunch. And while there are some problems that also existed back in the 1960s (characters are either saints or truly evil, nothing in between, no shades), there are also more than a handful aspects that make this new film worth checking out. The fact that they added new villains and new stories for every film keeps the series from being too repetitive. Vogel is an okay choice for the first film here and his henchman added by Masucci ("Er ist wieder da") also adds his share. Peschel plays one of the character that keep getting elaborated on the longer the series continues in contrast to several characters (like the two I mentioned) whose story ends after this first film. Overall, I would say that while this movie may not be as good as the one by Stölzl/Berger that I mentioned earlier, it was still a pretty convincing watch. Visually, it is very fine in terms of costumes, makeup and cinematography as well as sets and story-wise it is good too. It may be good that the focus was more on Möhring's character than on Xhelilaj's as I think his story has a lot more to offer.The makers weren't scared of truly dramatic moments, killing off influential characters etc. and it's always a good thing especially if it does not feel included for the sake of it. Yes there is some generic stuff in here and a lot of it is predictable and there are some weak plot developments like the confusing connection between Karl May and Old Shatterhand, but these are just minor criticisms. I think it is a rewarding watch with interesting plot twists at times and the film dragged surprisingly little for a movie that runs for almost two hours. Anyway, this praise from me can be considered even more positive as, like I already said, I am not that big of a fan of the old films or of Indian-focused westerns in general. I give it a thumbs-up and I think you should check it out. Don't wait too long because right now you will certainly get a hand on these films so briefly after they got released.
