Pathfinder

Because I taught the Vinland Sagas last week, I thought I'd watch "Pathfinder" tonight. I gave up after 25 minutes. It's theoretically an action movie, but so slow, and so badly done, and so cliched, and so wrong in so many ways. However, it's apparently inspired by This movie, which people seem to think is good.

I saw the Ofelas Pathfinder at the Music Box many years ago, and it was quite good (in fact, thank you for reminding me of the title). It's not an "action" film per se, as much of the story has to do with the beliefs and daily lives of the people of that time and place.

Never saw the 2007 Pathfinder, which I thought looked bizarre in the trailers.

Don't see the 2007 Pathfinder. I'm always interested in how medieval things are used to make film, so I'm glad I watched the first 25 minutes I guess, but - wow. So bad.
