Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of swords, quests and kingdoms and people who love a story about friendship. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in. Sits nicely alongside The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Vandal king Attila's trying to save his son kidnapped by Tarkan and stories of friends.
