Boring - The New World review by CP Customer
Had to give up on this I'm afraid. The sets were technically accurate and the backdrops beautiful, but it was just sooo boring. Pace was much too slow and in the end it just got rather irritating that nothing really happened.

Greed in Eden, Too Long a Dream - The New World review by griggs
It feels like a half-remembered dream: everyone damy, barefoot, making history for the worst reasons. Terrence Malkick turns early colonial Virginia into something lush and faintly ominous, where discovery is greed and fear with better manners. When it shifts to England and Hampton Court Palace, it softens. And, honestly, the 172-minute cut is too long — I kept wishing for the tighter 135-minute theatrical (or even the 150-minute cut). Still, The New World keeps landing quiet wordless moments that stick.

Pocohontas - The New World review by NO
Disappointing-I thought with Wes Studi & Chris Bale it was going to be good.Studi only had a small part at the end.Photography & atmosphere excellent & the Indians were realistic (Unlike the usual Hollywood ones) as were the bedraggled English,but story confusing -one minute Indians were attacking ,next minute trading.Pocohontas drifted from in & out the fort & the Indian camp.It would have been better if there were subtitles as I found the sound poor-so not certain what was going on.Not certain it was historically accurate although I have seen her grave at Gravesend.Also it was too long ,not enough to keep me for over 3 hours as it was not the Epic i was hoping for.
