Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
victorgusaceanu A very good film, for that time when the Comunist Party control everything. All was great for we, when we are children and see a big movie "made in Romania", made with low budget and great army help... Along the years, many of the actors -the great Romanian artist- die or retired...Romanians actors proved in MIHAI VITEAZUL that in every part of the world exist exceptional people, who could made great movies, but they have less money. And for final say that in this morning- 03.01.2013, the director of the movie, Sergiu Nicolaescu, died at age of 82, in a Bucharest hospital...
catalinarmeanu This is the top of the line in the romanian film industry, filmed in harsh conditions under the comunist authority by best romanian director Mr. Sergiu Nicolaescu. The movie is unique in the way it presents the political and military situations in the medieval Balkan's of 1600 and also is a very acurate story regarding the historical true about the last real crusader: Michael the Brave - King of all Romania. With no doubt we can put "Mihai Viteazu" side by side with "Braveheart" or any other great movie although many people are not so close to romanian history than scottish history but after a closer look when you see this motion picture you will find out that is far more active and colored than any other in this part of the world. At last but not the least you will notice the actor in the role of Michael the Brave - Amza Pellea, who is beyond any doubt the best romanian actor of the 21's century. Enjoy the movie!
FlowerOS Anyone who like hero movies will love this one. And that's not the only thing. Sergiu Nicolaescu made this movie as the first in the world (as far as I know) with battle scene that looks real enough to get you on your toes. And that doesn't mean lot of blood but the way that the camera follows the action, big action of the troops and instant local action of "mano a mano" fight.
nelutu It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.I think that Sergiu Nicolaescu is the most important romanian directors because he presented the real Romanian history.I'm proud that I'm Romanian when I have the privilege to see a movie directed by Sergiu Nicolaescu
