I know I shouldn't

Rating: 4/10 (3 April 2012)

I know I should not write this review since I cannot made it till end. Yes first time my cinema watching history I deliberately quit the theater and did not watch the whole movie.
I remember screenwriters' strike in Hollywood some time ago, they hold right to do so (take their worth of money) because they are obviously doing very very important job. I wish we as Turkish cinema had some decent screenwriters..
Fetih has got a terrible scenario. Some say doesn't reflect history correctly (Ulubatli and many other parts of history is mainly legends by the way) but my problem is not that, my problem is, scenario is written in a way as if this is not a cinema movie but some sort of Discovery Channel history flick, it's telling everything written in school books of history (correct or not) step by step. This is not cinema, this is not story telling, this is not watchable.
Fetih unfortunately wasted money, hopes and time of the audience in my opinion. But for sure, some people who has never been to cinema (and not intention if it's not for Fetih) goes to cinema for these kind of movies. We saw the same thing happening in movies like Kurtlar Vadisi, Allahın Sevgili Kulu, Ny'ta Beş Minare etc. I think this is a gain for Turkish people as they meet the miraculous silver screen, but also boosts terrible movies.
And last but not least, if this is place for wannabe critic's arena, why should we not write our opinions about terrible movies? Isn't is just we deceive ourselves if we write "hey perfect movie, come and watch", I don't think rest of the world gives a s.hit about Fetih (name of the movie-Conquest) or Faith(name of the sultan)? As we don't know,like or care about Napoleon, Shakespeare etc.
Peace and wisdom be with you! ;)
