I have to admit I'm a bit biased as Heath was in it and his acting was amazing. The desert was spectacular as well, but otherwise, there were bits that weren't quite believable.
the new adaption of this movie is in my opinion the best a feel that it shows all point of views very well and very distinct but are all still so fluid together
It's not so bad, I just thought they thought more about the scenery and photography that they left the dialogue for later. I hated the end it was horrible, Kate Hudson was so fake! I hated her in this movie but there are some chartacters that were very good. Heath Ledger he appeared gortious in this movie so it is quite sad but he did a good job not excellent just good. I liked the friendship between them, they were very fun and they show to you the good chemistry they have between them and that's why you understand at the end why he took the decision of risking his life for the ones of his friends. I dindn't loved it but I can't tell I hated it becauseit is not true it is just another movie about the human souls very similar to Seven Years In the Tibet.
A fairly interesting film in that, one really never k nows to what extent friendship goes.. As well, one of the films featuring the late Heath Ledger..
Yet another of Heath Ledger's films I can mark off my list. This however was by far one of the most disappointing and I can't help but feel that I am slightly overrating it due to my feelings towards his wasted talents. I wouldn't ever say it was terrible it just never really sparked any real feeling in me. Ledger's performance is average at most and the setting of the film didn't really interest me, I couldn't feel sorry for the British Soldiers because of what they were fighting for. I think that although Ledger's character pulls out of going to war, he doesn't do it for reason which may have worked slightly better. I think that the film might have worked slightly better had he pulled out because he felt it was wrong. But I suppose that is a personal opinion of might so it really shouldn't be taken into consideration too much when deciding if you want to watch this film. The rest of the cast did a fairly good job. He isn't mentioned in the cast list but I have to mention Kris Marshall because I think he's brilliant. He's usually associated with more comic roles so it was great to see him do something slightly more serious and he was a pleasure to watch. Kate Hudson rather annoyed me in this film. Can't put my finger on exactly why but her character just didn't really do anything for me. Still, even with it's flaws it is still a good film and definatly worth checking out if only to see Ledger.
One of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. Sure there is some great scenery and an ok story but it sucks. Don't let the movie convince you it doesn't suck because thats what all things that suck try to do.
This is a british comb of "Pearl Harbour" and "Cast Away"... The four feathers is a symbol of cowardice. Harry is a brave in his spirit (saving friends) but not patriatically brave. He only fights when necessary.
En The Four Feathers (E.U., 2002), Shekhar Kapur optó por un tono narrativo más convencional y, desafortunadamente, poco logrado.
En la Inglaterra de 1884, un violento juego de rugby emulará, en sus jugadas planeadas geométricamente, las futuras formaciones marciales de una batalla en el desierto del Sudán, antigua colonia inglesa. La población musulmana se ha sublevado y el ejército británico debe partir a controlar la situación. Harry Feversham (el fallecido Heath Ledger) ha comenzado a replantearse su futuro en la milicia, donde busca seguir la tradición familiar impuesta por su padre, antiguo combatiente en la guerra de Crimea. Comprometido con Ethne Eustace (Kate Hudson), Harry decide que su relación es más importante y decide desertar del ejercito.
El reparto juvenil, apenas y consigue destacar a lo largo de la película, siendo Wes Bentley uno de los mejores, junto al africano Djimon Hounsou. Sin embargo, este detalle no salva las graves lagunas de la narración, que se extienden hacia el montaje, accidentado en varias partes claves. Más en http://pantallanueve.blogspot.com
ok i have to admit, the only reason why i rented thisw movie, was because heath ledger was in it aqnd after hisw very unexpected death, i had heard great reviews about this movie. omg, this movie is a great movie. it is like an epic. the acting, the storyline, the action. everything about this movie is great. what an entertaining movie. great war movie. it has action, drama, romance. it makes friendships last longer and it is amazing how through war and life. i highly recommended this.
Excellent movie An exquisite film about a man who resigns his post before a war and is shunned with white feathers of cowardice. He escapes to Sudan to live incognito. Heath Ledger played his role the best, really the best. Peace upon him I really like it.
A wonderful epic movie at first it was boring but then it became amazing till the ending.Heath (R.I.P) did a great job and Djimon played an amazing role with an incredible talent.
I just can't believe he's gone... so talented... it kills me to know that we'll never be able to see him again. Anyway, the movie is great, and Heath was AMAZING, as always.
The premise of this film is great. It only takes ONE mistake to be judge for life. It does not matter what one has done for years, because people tend to forget that. People concentrate in one's mistakes, which is a shame of course. A story of redemption through the eyes and agony of the one who feels it.

such an amazing movie! heath ledger's best performance to date. i liked how the director put the whole story together, from the scenes of red-coated officers swirling their ladies around the dance floor to the marches, battles, and prison scenes...very well done.
this was absoluteli awesum! heath ledger and wes bently were awesum and the onli reason i didnt giv it a 5 out of 5 was the shitty acting dun by kate hudson
It might seem a little boring at the beginning, like pretty much every movie based on history facts, but if you keep on watching, it will be a delightful surprise.
I saw this film in theater when Heath was getting his career started..I need to rent this film again so I can properly review it..RIP Heath Ledger either way it wasn't perfect film but get's 4 stars for Heath and the great James Horner score
Amazing movie. i almost cried. my gosh. the romance kinda sucks. but just seeing all the stuff that Harry does for his friends i find to be truely heroic. i love the plot.
