Movie to reconsider: Pathfinder

Ok we are back with a movie that needs a second look. This week, we have Pathfinder Directed by Marcus Nispel, Acclaimed director of the 2003 Chain Saw Massacre.

Many Have Criticized Marcus Nispel with poor direction in his work and no originality, coupled with poor creativity and focus. This film has not received the recognition that it deserves and the acting is not as bland as most will like to portray it as. Some has decided the costumes which were from a Native American Visual Perspective, to be total exaggerations. That was the point of the Director and costume department, to give us a glimpse of from a Native American Perspective, in this turn of the century Fictionalized piece.

In which you the viewer must keep in mind, that this movie is a Hypothesis, as to what may have taken place and by no means is an account of entire facts. However most fail to realize this major point, in there goal to critique. In no way was Marcus Nispel and his cast attempting to put this off as a factual account, but as a period piece to draw us closer to what may have happen at the turn of the century.

As far as the Directing is concerned a great job was done in setting the tone, the proper filters in place, the backdrop, and the actors Karl Urban, Russell Means, Moon Bloodgood, Ralph Moeller, and Clancy Brown did an absolute job bringing this story to the screen.

Do not forget how Star Trek was received, Do not forget how Star Wars was received. Some Films get their cult status from home use, and then once the concepet sets in, it will forever shape, they way movies are made.

So I think that it could have been better? Yes I feel that is could have better fight sequences and originality in the those sequences that were shown. Overall I give the film a rating of 3 boxes of Raisinettes out of 5, and a 1/2 bag of homemade popcorn, and a smuggled-in bottle of Pepsi. So you should have seen it at the movies, however it is on DVD and you should check it out or add it to your collection. It is great entertainment for those who like action sequences. So take 99 minutes out of your all so boring weekend night, and check this film out, you will be entertained, invite some buddies over, or your significant other and have a good time.
