abysmal in almost all respects

Rating: 2/10 (6 February 2006)

I give this movie a 2 instead of a 1 only because I found it somewhat visually appealing. Costumes, ships, the river, the sunsets all very nice to look at.
Beyond this, I found the storyline completely lacking. Colin Farrell spent most of the movie looking like a wounded puppy, although sometimes he looked bewildered just to spice it up some. Q'Orianka Kilcher might have been amazing, but mostly the writers had her dancing in the grass and looking good without saying or doing much. What the writers seemed to think was character development amounted to little other than inane banalities. No one else, including Pocahontas' husband had any development whatsoever.
I spent the last hour of the movie praying that each scene would be the last. It finally came true and I left listening to other people expressing the same comments I was feeling. One shad definitely wait for the video.
