Console best movie i've ever seen.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
irisaweber I really wanted to like this, having watched (and cried my eyes out) over "The Devils Whore" (the worst thing here being the rather unfortunate title...). It sets off 25 years after Angelica loses Sexby, and follows her daughter's life. The change in character of Angelica is, quite frankly, unbelievable - a woman so passionately in life/love becomes sedate, and ends up burnt at the stake over a misrepresentation concerning her last husband??? The daughter is, to all intends and purposes, rather a bit...shall I say, confused. Despite Mr. Dornan doing his thing, most actors here simply cannot hold with John Simm,Andrea Riseborough, Maxine Peake, et al. The script is confused, and, imo, sloppy. Overall very disappointing - could have been wonderful, but was just a chance missed.Stick with the original instalment, and avoid this...it's worse than Cromwell ever could have been.
dragokin New Worlds won't keep you on the edge of your seat, yet it might be a fine pastime during a coupe of hours.I wouldn't discuss the historical accuracy of New Worlds since i've perceived it as an adventure without the ambition to describe the era. So we're moving from Old World to New World and follow several interesting characters.There were moments, though, where i wasn't particularly amused. For example the family in England raising their daughters liberally, albeit in a new age commune style. Then there was inverse Pocahontas story of sorts...But i'm complaining too much about a show which was nice although far from being great.
symphony78-1 Wanted to watch it with hoping it will give a glimpse of the colonial times, but it turned to be bad acting, mediocre screenplay. very simple series.
Neely OHara When I started watching New Worlds it was mostly to see if Jamie Dornan could act his way through a costume epic (which I am happy to say he does admirably) but then I found myself actually getting into the story which is basically a sequel to the mini-series The Devil's Whore.The action here takes place in the 1680's on two fronts, in England and in the New World, Massachusetts. It's a bit atypical from how the era is depicted which means that the writers did their homework.It is by nature still a historical drama and at first seems a bit dry until the action gets ratcheted up in England with those outlaws who want to kill the current tyrant king and those feisty Americans in the New World who are feeling more certain that they don't need England holding their hand anymore.If you can get through the first episode it's well worth it.The female actors are unfortunately the weakest link in the story, especially the one playing Beth (Freya Mavor), who hooks up with a hot Native American chief. She's just got all the men falling all over her (originally she plays Jamie Dornan's character's love interest in England) and she's kind of, well, yes, she's just terrible. I recommend fast-forwarding through all the parts with her staring blankly when she is supposed to be actually expressing some level of emotion (which she does not except to make her voice louder).Otherwise the acting is pretty fair for all participants, though Jeremy Northam as the King is somewhat underused and does a bit of scenery chewing.The male wigs are dreadful and fortunately Jamie Dornan doesn't have one but does sport an ill-suited mullet that is a little distracting. He has some nice moments here and there getting convincingly beat up, being a bit of a hellion but then ultimately is the only person (besides the poor homely girl Agnes who saves his character and loves him and meets a brutal end) who shows actual depth and emotion. Worth it to watch those baby blues tear up and spill over.That's me being cheezy so I apologize; if you like historical adventure with good pacing and drama, you will definitely enjoy New Worlds.
