  Trying to be an Epic but sadly it is not...
  
  Like all Kapoor's films, you hear him talk about philosophy and spirituality and then when you see his films they always fall short of his hype.

  Four Feathers
  
  I found the film to slow in places and very action packed in other areas. I really enjoyed watching and the story keep me locked to the tv screen.

  Four Feathers
  
  Really good adaptation. Great sense of the time and environment and the harshness of the campaign in Sudan. Very well acted.

  Not my usual cup of tea but i ended up really enjoying it. Many people on IMDB agree this is a very under-rated movie.

  But it should have been great
  
  Stunning cinematography and a classic story make this a suprisingly intelligent Boys Own adventure. However, it also feels strangely detached and disjointed in ... read more »

  Had a hard act to follow
  
  As the Four feathers has been done so well in the past, but this was a really good solid attempt at what is fundamentally a difficult story to tell.

  What a pity
  
  It should be so good. Great visual effects, fantastically shot, but...a great story, that has had no less than 7 remakes, is murdered in this version.

  Either too long or too short
  
  This is a sumptuous film with perhaps more attention paid to camerawork than character development. It's a bit slow moving, as it develops the themes of ... read more »

  Another pointless version
  
  It's a terrific story, just watch the 1939 version to know that, so we don't really need another version when it's been filmed TWICE before.

  Pointless rumblings in the desert
