“The Good – This was a very ambitious project, so I admire the executive producers for taking the risk and investing in such a production. Any experienced filmmaker will tell you that the hardest part of this business is always related to funding. Which brings me to my next positive point, the setting. The visuals of this film are actually very good, the way each set is designed and the lighting used really enhance the feel of this medieval story, so well done to the set designer and the director of photography. And last but certainly not least I applaud the main actor (Andrei Claude) for his outstanding performance as Tristan of Leon. Quoting from a recent review on The Sunday Times u0026quot;Claude has good screen presence and portrays well the noble hero that has seen his sense of idealism dissipating before his eyes by the callousness of the world around him.u0026quot; I should add that this is also a credit to the casting director who must have had a clear vision of what this character had to represent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad – I donu0026#39;t like being negative but I have to be honest. The story wasnu0026#39;t well structured and many areas remain unexplained. Some of the acting was rather poor, and I found this a bit distracting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Outcome – I still enjoyed watching this film and I recommend it. Yes it could have been much better, but so could World War Z (which cost $190,000,000) and millions of people watched it anyway.”
