It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Today morning I have listened the music from the film. It is marvellous indeed! Suddenly I have realised that I do not know the English word for "honfoglalas", so I opened the dictionary. The result: "Settlement of the Magyars in Hungary". There is no English word for it! It is something unique we have as the whole process of settlement is unique. Maybe the film is not the best presentation for the beginning of the Hungarian history, maybe the plots are not perfectly directed, maybe we miss some more battle and bloody fights, but I do not think the film should be purely about territorial fight. I think it is more about a spiritual search to find a place in the world, to find an identity. If one can understand this deep background and is capable to know it as his/her own search, then the film will not be boring any more. It will not be dull, because then we could feel the unique Hungarian spirit behind it rather than we would expect for more and more action and surprisingly palatial scenes. Remember, this film is not about action!

I agree with the other commentators, it is bad. Actually, worse then that. It is harmful, since it portrays history in a completely slanted and erroneous way. Even as a joke it is bad. There are historical errors and impossibilities in this nonsense.However, it has a redeeming quality, however not as a movie, but as an audio-CD. The music is superb, and highly enjoyable. This music should have been used in a far more valuable film-production.Well, this is what happens, if one writes-produces a movie without his heart, mind and soul in it. The producers would have, or could have been successful if their judgment is correct, their choice of adaptation accurate and their expectation more realistic.So, don't look at it, just listen.

This is the most terrible historical movie i'd ever seen. I don't know why Franco Nero is playing the one of the greatest Hungarian leaders? There are so many actor in Hungarian who can play better this role. It would be a national movie isn't it? I think the directing is ridiculous. For example, when then Hungarians crossing over the 'endless wetland', you can see the dry grass near the track with knee-deep smash :( I had to laugh when i saw the great enemy. There was about five horsemen, who attacks the Hungarian people! And the choreography... it is more than annoying. The acting wouldn't be too bad, but the director gives the actors bad instructions. In the most of the movie the actors are just put their eyes int the far, and the cameras watching their motionless faces... But, the music is great. The music writer gives his best in this production. So, if you want to laugh with your friends, call them, get popcorn, beer, watch this film. But for an national historical film... it's terrible.

I think this is the most boring film I've ever seen, even though I'm a Hungarian, I say that I've wasted more than 2 hours of my life, and I've waited the end of it, was curios of it. That's all. The soundtrack is marvelous, written by Koltay Gergely, the founder of Kormoran, which is one of the purest Hungarian folk and roll band ever.
