I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago and since I had it on DVD, I was really eager to check it again. I remember it very well though, before it was released, there was a huge buzz about this movie and the expectations were really high. Indeed, in 1992, it was the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus so, obviously, the studios wanted to cas... read more

" The other Christopher Columbus cantered film from 1982, this one attempted to be somewhat closer to what happened, with Columbus depicted as being flawed, but still somewhat “heroic”, and the voyage being doomed from the start. However, many took issue with the movie, and suggested by making Christopher Columbus flawed but somewhat “heroic”, they ignored the fact that Columbus wasn’t heroic, but a man more interested in glory and fame, at whatever the price. Even the genocidal destr"
