(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 29% Rotten Page   1   "Had the rest of the film featured the same courage and intelligence demonstrated in Heath Ledger's performance, sitting through The Four Feathers might not have seemed as arduous as walking across the desert."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger 1.5/4 "A cut-and-paste example of how not to make a historical drama."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "Tedious and overblown even at a surprisingly short two hours, Four Feathers is the movie made for the teeny boopers who don't want to read the book."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 2/4 "Comparing this film to Lawrence of Arabia is like comparing an empty mirage to Niagara Falls."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D "A shapeless, sloppy, incoherent mess."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "Considering the harsh locations and demanding stunts, this must have been a difficult shoot, but the movie proves rough going for the audience as well."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "The story fails to build and drive forward the way it should."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "visually beautiful film with great battle scenes and gorgeous production design that never quite moves us emotionally or deals with the conflicted era of colonialism that forms its backdrop"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "A 100-year-old adventure classic returns to the big screen in a pretty, progressive and slightly poky adaptation."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "Rhythm problems punctuate this battle-scarred romantic epic."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "Despite the intentions and efforts, it isn't the sweeping, intriguing and moving look at self-redemption, courage and sacrifice that it so desperately wants to be."   Screen It!   Jim Judy "The film looks sharp, with postcard perfect photography and a rousing musical score by James Horner. What it lacks is a purpose, a reason to exist."   Light Views   John Larsen 6/10 "The film, like Harry's character, lacks direction, and at times it seems like parts of it are missing."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B "This updated version could have been something very special, and as you watch it you can feel it brush past the cheek of greatness."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 2/4 "Looks like an epic, is structured like an epic, but just doesn’t feel like an epic."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 4/5 "Shekhar Kapur stages the pageantry very well, from the scenes of red-coated officers swirling their ladies around the dance floor to the marches, battles, and prison scenes."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/5 "Caso você sinta necessidade de sair da sala antes do término da projeção, não se preocupe: ninguém lhe enviará penas simbolizando covardia."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca C "Strong filmmaking requires a clear sense of purpose, and in that oh-so-important category, The Four Feathers comes up short."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "This unique tale of heroic redemption, sacrifice and unlikely comrades-in-arms is fascinating."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "Prim in attitude but lavish in presentation, Feathers is just a gorgeous film to watch."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell C "Here's a protagonist who questions the validity of killing people for the sake of an empire, but then decides it's okay to kill those same people for the sake of his own self-respect and that of others."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 6/10 "This is a sweeping, swaggering, ambivalent, often incongruous camel-tale whose vivid images evoke an unsettling connecting with 'Mohammadan' fantatics and the current Afghanistan conflict."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "The sort of stuff that plays like the awkward rip-off of The Man Who Would Be King that it is."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Clicj here to read review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf "The camera cuts to a last long view of Abou, walking across the dunes, with no man anywhere near him. He's noble, all right, but he's also alone."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 6/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf C- Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
