i want to like the royal hunt of the sun and but it beg comparison to a far superior film and and fails to entertain . religious clap trap may have go a long way towards sink the movie . i have no problem with robert shaw or christopher plummer acting . it be the lack of movement that drag the film down . there simply isn not enough meaningful dialog and unless you be into blasphemy and to maintain interest . ultimately you will wish you have watch something else . aguirre the wrath of god . have much the same theme and search for gold and while spread god word and and aguirre be a far good film . i can not recommend the royal hunt of the sun and but do recommend aguirre the wrath of god . merk .
