The Four Feathers

[diasyjazz]

What did you think of this movie...I just rented it and am curious to see what thoughts are on it...

It has great cinematography. The desert landscapes are beautifully filmed, but the acting is flat, and the whole romantic triangle didn't work in Pear Harbor and doesn't work here.

i thought it was good.......but has much as i love Wes Bentley he did a lot of over-acting
Heath and Djiman(sp?) were great

[Cipher Jo]

Great concept, acting, and of course cinematography. However, this movie just drags way too much, especially at the end. Otherwise, a decent flick. I'll stick with Lawrence of Arabia!

[Mat]

I agree, Lawrence of Arabia is the king of desert flicks. BTW, I've heard there are other versions of The Four Feathers out there. Has anyone seen or heard anything of these?

I really enjoyed this movie. The acting was good, some actors better than others, like Heath Ledger, his performance was great in my opinion. The cinametography was excelent and sound was perfect, you could hear what they were saying. Some films like that you can't hear what is said at points but not with this one. The industry is getting better with that lately. :applaud:

*Never bothered to see this*.

I liked it. Bentley did over act a bit, but I love both Honsou and Ledger. Over all a good watch.

[Laterose]

I enjoyed it though some parts were...shall we say.....<I>graphic</I> but overall i enjoyed the movie. Though it reminded me, oddly enough of the Count of Monte Cristo....

[Icelle]

i loved this movie, heath ledger gave an excellent performance.

[Heavenllee]

I have yet to see this one.........looks like it has a good cast though.

I never really wanted to see this movie, I thought it might be good. And, I was going to rent it when it came out to rent but I saw still I wanted more. So I just said hell with it, it didn't look that great anyways.

[Brock Landers]

It was pretty good. As others have mentioned the cinematography was great and ledger gave a fine performance indeed. The battle scenes were pretty good too.......

8/10


P.S. but nothing will beat Lawrence of arabia when it comes to brits in the desert ;)

[Glordreen]

I thought the movie should have been included in the oscars, but thats just me

[diasyjazz]

Oh my gosh...I forgot that I asked about this and then it got lost admist the posting madness.
Well. after watching it I liked it- was never too thrilled about it in the first place and found myself frustrated at times- but yes, the combination of the cinematoraphy in the desert and the acting were amazing.

I love historical fiction- can anyone say how accurately based this was??

[rialynch]

I keep confusing the Four Feathers with the Civil War drama that Jack White from the White stripes is supposed to be in. Stupid me.

[cg124]

I liked this movie. I bought it on DVD not knowing what to expect and it was pretty good. The battle scenes were pretty cool.

I'd give it a

8/10




P.S sorry for the big bump

What you said...

I wouldn't watch it over and over but I liked it. The parts in the prison struck me as pretty... real. Just finished reading The Great Game (historical account of Britain and Russia in spy games over Central Asia from 17-1800's), a lot of this movie could have walked right out of that book.

7/10

Not Heath's best but better than The Order that's for sure.
