from the title and the tag line and the plot summary on the dvd etc . and i expect something at least slightly epic and with the historical fiction and the romance concur to thrill you while that what they do in last of the mohican for example and and i think they do a superb job . maybe i have standard too high for this movie and do not give it a fair chance . but the scenery be barely ok ( how could they not come up with something more beautiful when they have such landscape to work with . ) and the two lover have no chemistry whatsoever and and the plot be just so predictable it felt like it have be draft in 5 minute by a twelve year old and not a very imaginative one . nouvelle france be a love story set in an eventful historical age . but the history of nouvelle france be hardly a side note and and the love story be banal and fail dramatically to make the viewer care for the lover fate . surprisingly and the only good part about the movie come from something completely unexpected and unadvertised represent the relationship between marie loup and the heroine and and her child ( one natural and one adopt ) . if only they would concentrate on her family and forget about the love story and it would have be a much good movie . marie loup parent should have be give more screen time and character development and the politics go on in britain should have be more than a three minute scene with barely any connection to the rest and the rotten baddie should have be either more developed or remove from the script completely ( why hire actor like vincent perez and tim roth or jason isaac to misuse them so badly . ) bad work overall .
