Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Leofwine_draca FINEST, THE BRAVE FALCON is another fairytale from Mother Russia. The hero is a little in the style of Robin Hood although the production has magical trappings and is set in a quasi-mystical landscape. The story is once again heroism vs. tyranny and the bald baddie makes quite the impression. As usual, Soviet ideals are espoused throughout, and the heroes manage to overcome imprisonment and oppression to win the day. It's a pretty eventful little movie, one which is unfortunately spoilt by an appalling English overlay dub in which they've left the Russian dialogue playing quietly in the background, which is really distracting.
