Just perfect...

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Better Late Then Never

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Turkish TV writer Gani Müjde ("Kahpe Bizans") re-teams with Faith Solmaz and fellow scribe Emre Bülbül for this curious little political satire which quickly loses its way in misjudged rom-com clichés that do much to detract from the admittedly rather mixed message at the heart of the film and indeed the country itself.The film kicks off with the apparent death in childhood of the country's revered republican founder and national hero Kemel Atatürk before jumping forward to the year 2007 where we find that the sick man of Europe in the hands of a buffoonish Sultan who is a mere puppet in the hands of the devilish Western powers until love gives he the strength to say stand up.Turkish comedian Ata Demirer plays the modern day Sultan with world-weary relish but fails to generate chemistry with 2005 Golden Orange award winner Vildan Atasever ("2 Girls") whilst eccentric Hulk Hogan look-alike Sümer Tilmaç heads a largely overlooked supporting cast of Ruhsar Öcal, Ali Düsenkalkar and Müjde's wife Belma Canciger on top form.The seemingly indecisive director has an intriguing "What If…" scenario as a backdrop, which he thoroughly fails to explore as much of the film is given over to a completely unconvincing romance before this too is forgotten in favour of a patriotic fervour which is in turn thrown away for a disappointing dénouement that wipes the few laughs had along the way."You can't join EU with this barbaric behaviour!"

I heard many things about this move, positive and negative critics. But As a son of Ataturk and also Faith Sultan Mehmet, one can never say this film is a waste of time.It clearly shows what would have had been if Atatürk ( miracle of God for Turk people) was someone ordinary not a legend. Turkish people will be economically and politically enslaved, our paradise would rather be the colonial of the Capitalism..There really are some points that the author(Gani Müjde) could think and write better.. because it brought many responsibility like resembling a unique way of fictitious Turkish History.I want to thank Gani Müjde for drawing attention to this topic, and Ata Demirer who is the one of the greatest artists of Turk cinema(of course from my standpoint) , and Vildan Atasever's mother for giving birth to those beautiful lady.8.5/10

I watched this film las week. I was wondering that film..it said that '' if Ataturk isn't been'' always. someone have to film that idea and have to make good ..of course that person may be Gani Müjde. if I choice that person you can sure I would choice Gani Müjde. because I had seen 'Kahpe Bizans' and I had liked and laughed.. I thought that movie must be like that.. But I couldn't find my expectations in the film. Film is like theater game..there is no crowd at scenes , visually .I thin it used low budge for movie.That idea deserves more budge. there is unnecessary love story in movie too Osman VII between a girl who is resistance. Ata Demirer said that ''they didn't use me'' too. I mean there is a lot of absents in that film..intent is good ,idea is good but movie is not good enough..

We watched this wonderful movie. İt's exceed our expectation.Only the thing is missing, I indicated at the summary.So many non Turkish background ( middle eastern etc. )were present at the movie.I am sure they enjoyed at some points but,they didn't understand main purpose of the movie story. Because we are the Turkısh background,We know our history so,we can understand what's going on in the stream of the movie. You have some introduction of course,beginning of the movie but,those are not enough for non Turkish people.I don't think it's so difficult to add simple writing introduction at the beginning of this wonderful movie for foreign watchers. Many regards.
