Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

If you know a bit about the popular German movies that were based on Karl May's works, you will also know that Austrian filmmaker Georg Marischka was not exactly one who worked on many of these adaptations, but had successes in entirely different areas of film. Maybe this is also one reason why "Das Vermächtnis des Inka" is nowhere near the most known Karl May works. Another may be the lack of Brice and Barker here. Of course, Madison, Battaglia, Rey and last but not least Heinz Erhardt were stars in their own right, but maybe this was not their best area of film in terms of the genre. Then again, I am not a fan of most of the other May films, so I may be biased here and it was not surprising that I found the film and the story extremely forgettable. It was probably more the writers' fault than the actors', but I am not sure if this refers to May or Marischka who also adapted the novel work. Overall, my verdict for "Legacy of the Incas" is negative. The only aspect, as usual, were the great landscapes and sets on some occasions, but this cannot make up for the deficits in many other areas. Watch something else instead.
