Key Performances:

  Colin Farrell
  Christian Bale
  Wes Studi
  Christopher Plummer
  Q’Oriana Kilcher
Movie Haiku:Beautiful images aren't enough: the "first encounter" between European explorers & Native Americans deserved better. Farrell's a total bore as John Smith; Kilcher's Pocahontas does better once Bale arrives as husband John Rolfe. Ironically, their trip back to England is this film’s highpoint. And why WAGNER in the soundtrack?!?!? Urgh!!!
