Average Rating: Rating: - Appreciate this film for what it is supposed to be! I am very surprised at the number of negative comments about this film. My wife and I both loved it. We found the action scenes and cinematography to both be exceptional. I agree with the criticism that the retreat of the British troops to "form a square" seemed a bit out of kilter in that they seemed almost hopelessly surrounded but somehow escaped. To us, however, this was a small blemish on very believeable action sequences and a very entertaining story. I have seen the 1939 version several times and enjoyed it, but this was much better to me. Those who seem to have a problem with this movie seem to have standards few historical action films would meet. Perhaps they just don't enjoy the genre. I happen to enjoy films such as the Daniel Day-Lewis version of The Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, etc. If you enjoy those type films, you will almost certainly enjoy this one. If you don't, you won't. This film is not totally true to the book. So what? It's a darn good movie! Just relax, be transported back to the heyday of the British Empire and enjoy a good historical action film with a love story and beautiful action scenes and suspense. Rating: - Disappointing, at best Having seen both the TV version starring Beau Bridges and the 1939 version with Sir Ralph Richardson, I can categorically say that this current release is an insult to the previous films and certainly to the book. First, this lacks any character development, and portrays Harry Faversham as a coward when, in fact, he was a conscientious objector (with the same fear anyone going to war would have). Second (and as a consequence of the first), the moral messages of cowardice, valor, honor, and redemption are conspicuous by their absence. There were some good scenes but I think this film is a tribute to missed opportunities. Given the technology today, it could have been a magnificent film instead of a "rush to market" poorly told story. I give this two stars because of the physical aspects of the film... beautiful scenery and I think the casting was good or, at least, had the potential had they been exposed to a decent script and direction with a sense of purpose. This film is as much an epic drama as was the latest Pearl Harbor. Both are losers in my opinion. Don't buy this and don't even bother renting it. Rating: - A very underrated film The Four Feathers is a very underated film in that it shows the Victorian era of the British empire something that isn't protrayed often by hollywood. The acting is so-so which all the other reviewers will agree with but the story is first rate. Maybe if more established actors had taken up this project or a different director the outcome would have been better. The story is solid and some of the scene's are sort of uplifting in the sense of the courage that is protrayed. I enjoyed the film for the same reasons i enjoyed braveheart or black hawk down for the courage that was protrayed. A film that anyone who enjoyed them must consider viewing.
