“This film is sooooooooooooooooo slow moving…….if you ever have problems sleeping, buy this movie! I had to stay awake just to see the conclusion. It was entertaining but too much wasted time telling this very romantic love story. It was 125 minutes but with good editing could be told in 95 to 100 minutes. That makes a big difference! Colin Farrell u0026amp; Christian Baleu0026#39;s love sick expressions were warm and sensitive but after the 400th time it was annoying.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are good things about this film: Christopher Plummer always adds authenticity to films……Qu0026#39;orianka Kitcher was perfectly cast as Pocahontas. She looked very Native American and was really lovely! Good to see Wes Studi again, star of u0026quot;Geronimo: An American Legendu0026quot;. Background and scenery was entertaining as was the story of early America.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorth seeing if you can just get by the slow parts. Probably worth a 5 or 6 out of 10.”
