1812. Ulanskaya ballada (2012) Review by digitaltoronto from United States
This is a terrible movie, there is no doubt about that. It is terriblein every respect: bad script, bad acting, bad CGI, bad everything,basically. It is so weak and gimmicky that it's awkward to watch. Youknow that feeling when you watch somebody completely embarrassthemselves in public? Yeah, that's what I felt for those 95 minutes and47 seconds. The reason behind such an epic fail is probably the factthat the director (Oleg Fesenko) is a novice who hadn't made anyserious movies prior to this one.
Otherwise it's a typical pseudo-historical action flick from "CentralPartnership". That company made a million WWII themed flicks, some wererather decent, others were bleh... Now I guess they finally decided topick some other war for a change and let a newbie director go at it. Tobalance it out they got Sergey Bezrukov (who's the most popular and thehighest paid actor now in Russia) - that way the box office wasguaranteed, they thought. Well, it didn't work. Everything about themovie screams cheap - every scene, every second of it. I guess Bezrukov(whose performance in this one is also cheap) cost them a bear share ofthat 5 mil budget. All other actors in the movie are grade B, whichkind of goes to show... Too bad that large part of the money wasgovernment funding. Oh well!
Long story short, box office was the definition of fail, the reviews inthe papers were unfavorable to say the least, Oleg Fesenko didn't getto have a good debut movie, Sergey Bezrukov got a stain on hisreputation (but he had probably anticipated that and asked for someastronomical sum of money to do the movie). Should you watch "1812.Ulanskaya ballada."? Absolutely not, unless you are a masochist orfancy cheesy grade B films. If that's the case though - go right ahead,you'll love it.
BTW, the first reviewer (JazzGott), although correct in his evaluationof the movie, is completely incompetent history wise (not to mentionthe obvious anti-Russian butthurt). Just for the record, about Ulans:
>>1. Uhlans were Polish. Blah, blah, blah...
NOT.
"Ulans" was just a term for cavalry. The original Ulans were Tatars andthe word itself is from Turkish language (probably of Mongolianorigin). Yeah those Mongols who taught everybody how to ride horses,while conquering half a Europe - those guys. In the 1800's there werePolish and also Russian Ulans. Russia Ulans were established in 1803,almost a decade prior to the war in question. Yes, they did take partin 1812 war against Napoleon, for which there is no shortage (more likean abundance) of proof. It's always a good idea to check your facts.
1812. Ulanskaya ballada (2012) Review by JazzGott from Vilnius, Lithuania
I don't know why in God's name did I bother to watch this film. Notthat I was strong enough to force myself to actually watch the thing -I skipped a lot of pointless rubbish and tried to pay attention to somegood things I pointlessly tried to find. Anyway... The film portrays ateam of Russian Uhlans (type of military formation from the time)trying to kill Bonaparte and some spy guy while getting some Polishladies to fall in love with them. The trouble is that:
1. Uhlans were Polish. It was a Polish formation. And as Russians wereoccupying Poland, Polish Uhlans were serving under Bonaparte and tryingto fight Russia with him in a futile belief that Bonaparte will makePoland reappear on the map. So there was no such thing as RussianUhlans. Uhlans were for Bonaparte and against Russia. This is aspointless as showing a Russian Waffen SS battalion trying to killHitler. WTF?
2. The whole team acts like the A team or a bunch of John Ramboswithout AK47's. They get multiple shots off their single shot pistols,slaughter everyone with a single slash of their sabers and blablabla.Maybe if I was a 5 years old Russian I could enjoy that crap.
3. If one decides to show forbidden love between an occupied Polisharistocrat and a Russian soldier (which for some reason is a Uhlan),they should at least try to make it look a bit forbidden, not flourishin plain sight...
4. Bad acting by great actors - Russian Bezrukov, Polish Delag... Waybelow, I mean way below what we're used to get from these guys.
5. Bad special effects. And I mean bad. Really bad. 6. Bad script. AndI don't mean the historical inaccuracy. I mean that the whole storydoes not hold. The secret passages ending on the roof in plain sight,Russian armies stationing 5 minutes ride from the Bonaparte quarters,bad romance, bad aaaaaa come on, I'm not gonna do this. It's just badOK?
So was there anything good in the film? I think yes. I did enjoy thecostumes a lot. And that would be it.
So summarizing - don't. Don't waste any time watching this shipwreck. Iseriously don't understand why would anybody even bother making it! Mywife and I speculated that the only reason for making this film wasthat somebody had found some Uhlan costumes in the attic and decidedthat after the last Russian Musketeers movie nothing can be worse - sotheir only way is the way up and convinced everybody else to gather,waste the time they could spend doing nothing and I don't know...keeping respect for themselves; and made them produce this horriblething.
Don't watch it, seriously.
