a snail's pace...

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2007)

That's how fast this film moves. It was boring from the beginning. Now I know why it was such a bomb at the theater. About 45 minutes needed to be edited out. And there were some parts that seemed impossible. Like how did Pocohantus learn perfect English so fast and how did her hair always look perfect. Did Indians have hair brushes in the 1600s? And I think her tribe would never let her be along with the new white man when Smith was living with them. And why would she fall for Smith. I would think it would have been forbidden in the tribe.
As others have commented, the scenery was beautiful, but there were just too many shots of a field or trees that lasted too long and there were too many scenes without dialogue. This movie needs major editing work. And I didn't get why Smith left to go back to England and not ask Pocohantus to come along.
FINAL VERDICT: A long movie that basically goes no where. It's only worth watching if you are looking to fall asleep.
