Movie Reviews of 1492: Conquest of Paradise [Widescreen Definitive Edition]
Movie Review: 1492 import
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the import DVD and it appears to be a digitized version of the VHS widescreen. The image quality is very poor. Cover of the package appears blurry and seems more like a home-made duplication rather than a real off-the-press original. It doesn't do Ridley's film justice.
Summary of 1492: Conquest of Paradise [Widescreen Definitive Edition]
This, the second of 1992's 500th anniversary Christopher Columbus films (the first being Warner Bros. Christopher Columbus: The Discovery), adheres to the historical facts of Columbus's (Gerard Depardieu) possessed quest to discover the New World, and his solicitation of Queen Isabella (Sigourney Weaver) to gain the necessary funding. Despite travelogue-quality footage replete with beautiful scenery of Caribbean islands and a massive cast, this film tends to plod along with too predictable a plot and a mis-cast Columbus. Depardieu -- a very capable French actor speaking English and playing an Italian -- becomes perhaps the movie's bright spot (even if at his own expense) as he laughably struggles with line after line. Michael Wincott puts forth a worthy performance as a nasty Spanish nobleman whose mistreatment of the natives results in an open rebellion.Drama DVD Video
