Battleship Potemkin

REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY LAWFUL, EQUAL, EFFECTUAL WAR. IT WAS IN RUSSIA THAT THIS WAR WAS DECLARED AND BEGUN.

A dramatized account of a great Russian naval mutiny and a resultant public demonstration, showing support, which brought on a police massacre. The film had an incredible impact on the development of cinema and is a masterful example of montage editing.

    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
