This film made me kill my girlfriend, and some nuns, and now I'm going to start a Jehad against the director and i ain't even Muslim!

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2006)

I went to see this film with my late girlfriend! after watching this film for 2.5 hours it ended and i suddenly realised that nothing had actually happened throughout!
All those people who rated this film as a 10 are pompous, elitist, lier's. They want you to think that you didn't get the film but really there was nothing to get! I'm all for artsy movies but make the scenic shots breath taking and give it some historical merit. I can look at grass puddles and English country manor gardens at home! I went to Queen Elizabeths Grammar school in Alford, Lincolnshire, the same one as Captain John Smith went to, so i know a lot about his life. Pocahontas was just a 10 year old Native Indian Princess who he befriended briefly. And he was not Irish I'm sure of that!!!!
This film is just drivel i was so angry that my girlfriend had made me go to watch it, i strangled her in the cinema to kill some time, the nuns were unfortunate witnesses! (its a metaphor don't worry)!
Nothing happens at all, the characters don't speak just narrate their thoughts, which are dull. The imagery is just stuff you would see on a documentary about site seeing in Wales. The cinematography was muddled and confusing! AND most of all it was LONG, VERY NEEDLESSLY LONG!
I feel dumber since watching The New World i think it destroyed some of my brain cells. To be fair at least 50 people walked out as soon as they realised the whole first half of the film was just going to be repeated in the second half, only set in Britain! I should have left then!!!! Please god why didn't i leave then!!!!
