With this vengeance wish filling up his heart, he offs enemies like flies. Urbans character did get a further motivation for his hatred against the "enemies" (don't ask me how they call themselves, it was too much mumbo jumbo for me to really care). Karl Urban is much more active and is more of a fight machine than the original actor in Ofelas.
PATHFINDER MOVIE IMDB MOVIE
If you haven't watched the original movie (Ofelas) and the remake (this one right here), than I'd say, you should at least watch the original! But if you want to read on, it would be better, if you have watched the remake, too, since I will be pointing out some differences and spoiler some things. Reviewed by kosmasp 5 / 10 Mislead (Die hard with a Veangeance) This is a dark bloody mess from an intriguing graphic novel idea. Karl Urban is a great actor but overall the acting from everyone is poor. Director Marcus Nispel, who is more known for his music video work, does badly with the narrative. The dark brooding mood and music do wear thin. I do like the crazy Viking style and the bloody gore which I'm guessing comes from the comics. I can see where the graphic novel is coming from but the translation to the screen is not compelling. This is Conan the Barbarian in Native North America. Then his tribe is attacked by new Viking raiders led by Gunnar (Clancy Brown). He falls in love Starfire (Moon Bloodgood) who is the daughter of a friendly tribe chieftain Pathfinder (Russell Means). He is given the name Ghost (Karl Urban) and grows up using his Viking father's sword. He is adopted into the tribe after the Viking marauders are massacred. Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 4 / 10 dark bloody uncompelling storyĪ Viking boy is discovered by Native Americans after his longboat is shipwrecked. Overall, decent film but not a masterpiece. Also the pacing is uneven, too stodgy in places, however the acting ranges from good to so-so, Rusell Means in particular is very dignified in the role of Pathfinder. The story here is simple, I have no problem with films that have simple stories, but while there are a number of fast paced action sequences, the slower scenes are rather drawn out and very little happens to maintain interest. However, the script is not as strong not absolutely terrible but parts are a little stilted. The action scenes are truly spectacular with heavy emphasis on violence and a lot of chaos. The score is stirring and brings real dramatic weight to the more tense scenes. Also the costumes are wonderful to look at, and the makeup particularly on the Vikings is outstanding. The sets are stunning, with towering mountains, tall trees and very white snow, and the cinematography is stunning. Visually and technically, there is next to nothing wrong with it. Far from perfect, but I personally didn't think it is as bad as people make it out to be. On the whole, "Pathfinder" is a decent and watchable film. 10 THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (8.Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 7 / 10 Visually spectacular with stirring music and inspired action scenes not so strong in the story and script department So here are the 10 best films in the genre according to IMDb. With a Game of Thrones prequel series, a Lord of the Rings series, and The Witcherseries all out in the next couple years, there's no better time to be alive for a fan of medieval fantasy. Thanks to films like the Lord of the Ringstrilogy in the early '00s, there's been a bit of a resurgence in this particular style of film, where sword and sorcery combine to chronicle tales of brave warriors, mystical magicians, and daring damsels. RELATED: 10 Fantasy Masterpieces You’ve Probably Never Seen That being said, films like Willowand Legend captured our childhood imagination, building on our palette for the time when Game of Throneswould be well received. The exaggerated grandeur and pageantry of the decade lent itself well to the mythical proportions of the genre, even if the visual effects couldn't capture the necessary magic so well. For better or for worse, the height of medieval fantasy existed in the '80s, when knights in armor were often accompanied by heavy guitar riffs.
