To me, a 5 rating means that a movie is worth watching once. A 6 means That I might see it again one day in the future. A rating of 7 is for movies I want to own. I can see how this may be a 5 or 6 to some. But for me, I like fictional history. That is, when the historical facts, especially mysterious ones, are interpolated with fun speculation or even given supernatural explanations. The bad reviews and low ratings of this movie were based on just superficial problems such as the actors being too clean & well-groomed and/or the special effects were low budget. Although I agree with this, the same can be said for outstanding shows like The Twilight Zone as well. Sometimes you have to look past these details. Imagine how bad the special effects would be if this were made into a play! As for this movie, the acting and dialog were believable. The setting and props were appropriate. But the strength of the show for me was in the historical background, even until the ending "name drop". Also, storyline and adding the supernatural into it sparked my imagination and left me thinking, even after the movie ended. This is NOT a wonderful blockbuster, nor sleeper-hit. But, as a few reviewers mentioned, something about the movie is intriguing, making them continue watching it.
