Title: Must be viewed with a grain of salt...
Product review: I just saw this movie, and was expecting more action and dialogue. It took me two days to get through it, as I was very disappointed with the storyline, (if that's what you call it.) Of course, there was little historical accuracy. Pocahontas was just a little girl, about 11 years of age, when John Smith arrived on the continent. He never fell in love with her! She did marry John Rolfe, had a little boy Thomas, and went to England, where she died (20 or 21 years of age) at Gravesend. The authenticity of the costumes and sets was good, the photography fabulous. I just wish they would have cast a different actor for the role of Captain John Smith. Colin Farrell was just not believable. This movie could have been so good! I heartily recommend the book, Pocahontas and Her World, by Philip L. Barbour, for an excellent take on the history of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith. It is a 'must have' book!
