First of all, I don't know any fools that taught this movie to be action movie in Finland, so this one Finnish guys made me post this message.
First of all in academic way of thinking, these Finnish lyrics was great, although to abroad people it may sound something else than great, and yeah to English the best word would be "shallow". To my taught, mandarin was well spoken in my ears by Eronen, but once again Chinese may think other ways. Story line was great, although now Chinese would say that this story is THE MOST common story in China, but I would say that Kalevala is also very common story or "folk tale" in Finland. I really enjoyed this overwhelming spiritual movie, which kind of do not often come from Hollywood. I would say to these people who look budgets, that make your storyline worth the budget and maybe the movie would then be a good one. To think what kind of a wow effect this movie made to me, I would say that this is the most best Hollywood movie ever, although it is a "Finwood" movie with very good cost/get ratio. Last good ratio movie from Hollywood was Braindead I think.
These few action scenes was well made without going "overboard". I did specially like the scene where hero sliced the head of. To me that is a beautiful scene where the folk tales made their best out. Yet to remember that kalevala is not Hollywood action epic and by reading it should help most the viewers to understand most of the happenings. Chinese story was very new to me and after that said, a beautiful Chinese story.
Anyway, sound was excellent although to me the end credits rock song made my wow go away, but this movie will definitely be the most talked movie this year.
