Rating on Amazon Prime showed a 4.5 or 5. What a horrible movie. Horrible acting, plot and anything else one can think up. Kept thinking it has. to. improve. Well, it only got worse. Those reviewing it high need their heads examined.

Just watched this again. I enjoy reading events from the Civil War and my wife and I live right down the street from the old Bushong Farm. The site of this battle. Visiting is made even more real when you find a cadet from VMI working there as part of his schooling. The critics who are upset over the "glorifying" the Confederacy are complete rubbish. That is not what is done in this movie. The makers of this film wanted to show this event and the impact it had on the area and all involved. This included the cadets, slaves and residents as well as soldiers from both sides. Did the scene where the cadets fought hand to hand with older seasoned soldiers depict reality? Don't know as I was not there but my guess it is not overly accurate. Slavery was depicted as it should have been. Horrible. Cadet life was shown as young men who fought, laughed, teased each other and pretty much what we would expect actually happened. There are very few actors in here that I knew but I thought all did a great job in their roles. Watch the movie with eyes open and realize this was real life back then and this is not a glorification of the Confederacy. It's main job is to show the lives of the young cadets and they do a good job in this movie.

Not even the beautiful Gal Gadot can save this movie. Plenty of action but very unbelievable and over the top action. You'd think she was still portraying Wonder Woman in this movie with her incredible feats. She kicks the rear end of many men and it got to the point where I just wanted to see her killed. The high tech stuff was unbelievably stupid as well and I got tired of this. Some decent staff and locations were about the only good thing I can say about this movie.

Overall I thought this was a very well made movie. One could almost imagine they were there in what would have been an extremely difficult time. But the role of Nanisca was by someone, to me anyway, reminds me all the way of the movie Suicide Squad. The role here needed someone who could play the strong leader" and she did do a good job. Plenty of action in this movie for sure.

I am likely older than many of the viewers who have written reviews on here. I grew up watching super heroes long before CGI and so on. Have always been a fan. I started watching this series even though I had some doubts. Was not a bad series at all until reaching season 4. I am on EP 7 and I am having trouble watching this one. Not sure if I can finish this or not. The plot got stupid. Then more stupid. And then yet even more stupid. The writers must have all been on Acid based on what I have seen so far. I'll try and finish the series but at this point I am not sure.

So disappointed in this movie. I really like the first one but this one was a big let down which has become the norm in Hollywood. I won't even try and write all what I was disappointed in. Just say pretty much the vast majority.

I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the dialect and of course the scenery. It was slow moving but this was not really a movie where one might expect action. The movie took a turn later into it that I did not expect but I won't throw a spoiler in here. I didn't know what to expect and that's what I got. It was entertaining but only gets a 6 out of 10 from me.

I normally do not last more than 5-10 minutes in Asian made foreign movies. The horrible action mixed with the horrible attempt at fitting the English voices with the foreign actors (South Korean here) make me turn it off even though I really like Sci-fi. But this one held my attention with the very good graphics and so on. While a little overkill on the extreme destruction of the city I still stayed for the entire thing. Maybe a first for me. Will it win any awards? Maybe not but I actually enjoyed this one.

Good enough movie but some of the reviews I read first made it sound better. Way too much CGI and it gets to a point where it is all overdone. Will I watch any follow ups to this? Unlikely.

Don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes or to critics. While no Emmy winner here it is still a feel good movie of sorts. As a Christian I can appreciate the message this movie provided. No wrestling fan at all but it made no difference here. Watch it and enjoy.
