BAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING (English version All-Medias USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Bahubali: The Beginning—Indian film—shows strong screen presence of all performers. There is no lack of action or shortness of storyline. The movie contains unusual fantasy and action scenes that are a treat to view. The acting is remarkably good but has a slight tendency to waiver in some scenes. The story works at the epic level, gives good insight into Indian story-telling capability, and illustrates battle when the odds of winning are formidable. The movie is a good watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. This epic-sized Indian story is available in an English speaking version on Netflix along with the Hindi version and supports that with great English subtitles. The movie features exceptionally charismatic actors and actresses, moves along well, and deserves its sequel.
