Customer Reviews of 1492 - Conquest of Paradise
Conquest of Cinema This film is amongst the most beautiful and adventurous of all films! I find Christopher Columbus, played by Gerard Depardieu, to be one of the most interesting explorers of all time. "1492 - Conquest of Paradise" brings this amazing man back to life.
Don Adrian de Moxica was so skillfully portrayed by Michael Wincott. It was, in my opinion, the strongest performance in the entire movie, but unfortunately lasted a mere 35 minutes before....well I won't say in case you have not seen the movie yet.
Aside from Wincott's stunning performance was that of Armande Assante who did an excellent job portraying Sanchez, council to Queen Isabel (Sigouney Weaver).
The soundtrack in strong and moving. Vangelis' music fits perfecly with the gorgeous scenery through out the entire film. Lots of atmosphere. This film MUST be released on DVD, in both widescreen and full screen format!
Perfect film from genius filmmaker Ridley Scott!
Pros: Cinematography is stylish and very absorbing. Directing by Ridley Scott is very intelligent and polished. Good performances from all cast members. Film score by Vangelis is heavenly and gives the film a boost. Gerard Depardieu brings Christopher Columbus to life. Set designs and costumes are just purely vinatge. About what you'd expect from a film like this set in the 15th century.
Cons: Basically a movie almost free from flaws. Depardieu's french accent sounds fine here, but he has trouble pronouncing some of his English words. Though, it's annoying he still does a great job with the role. Vangelis score sometimes is overwhelming during the film, but it suits the film quite well. The film is slow in spots, but what do you expect from a movie based in the 15th century. Life was slow back than, no planes, no cars, just ships.
Overall: Besides Gladiator, and Blade Runner, 1492 remains one of Ridley Scott's best looking and most well made films to date. 1492 is a voyage into Christopher Columbus life and times and it really pulls everything off in a fantastic, visually stunning fashion. 1492 is a classic movie, a must own for any Ridley Scott fanatic, and for all historical movie fans.

breathtaking. I can't believe this has not been
