There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is the legendary story of English settlers arriving and establishing the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Pocahontas is the daughter of Chief Powhatan. She befriends Captain John Smith and even saves him after he's captured by the tribe. It's a romance set with a backdrop of a clash of cultures. Smith often clash with the other leaders including the arrogant Sir Edwin Wingfield (Tony Goldwyn).First of all, I do praise the use of real native actors. I don't think Sandrine Holt is native but there are many others in the cast. It is questionable about the historical accuracy and the movie covers that by naming it "Pocahontas: The Legend". It tries not to portray the natives as savages. However, it doesn't really have the gritty realism. Lead actor Miles O'Keeffe doesn't have the charisma and it would have been much better to have Tony Goldwyn play the part. The Canadian production doesn't have much in terms of value. This is a limited film.

This film was good for some of the parts that made an honest attempt at portraying the Powhatan princess HOWEVER most of it only tried to make a mockery of her by looking at the humorous side. There were some scenes in the film that saw Sandrine Holt (Pocahontas) do some things that probably never even occurred at all in actual history....... (sorry, I can't say what they are since that's considered to be spoiling)Well............ anyways............... overall it was a good film but it's not the type of film that you would want to go back and see for a 2nd time.

Didn't think it could get worse than the Disney version? Guess again. This version is just as far from history, but it lacks even the fantasy and characterization that were the only worthwhile attributes of the Disney animated film. The acting is awful, dialog and scenes both are corny, every character except Pocahontas and her little brother are idiots. Miles tries to carry the whole film on his trademark smirk and good looks, but...well...even if you find this at a yard sale in the FREE box, don't bother.

This movie is very pretty to look at, with beautiful sets and costumes and Sandrine Holt is absolutely gorgeous. The Scenery was fantastic - beautiful landscapes. Myles O'Keefe as John Smith has great bone structure but thickening around the middle... Anyway enough of esthetics. The music was lovely, however the movie is not what you'd call rock-solid, the script is fairly weak in parts as is the plot. But for entertainment value it's not bad at all. Just suspend your disbelief when you hit an obvious flaw in the logic and you'll be ok. Tony Goldwyn did a good job, as did most of the 'white-men', actually fairly much all the actors were pretty good. As in many movies, it was only the script that let them down a bit.
