It’s always nice to see two unlikely genres paired together, and, at first glance, a typical war movie is likely to be quite different from a typical adventure movie. Though war films often see characters traveling to foreign lands, this does not necessarily make such stories qualify as adventure-focused ones. It’s a bit dangerous to assume that, given how, historically speaking, one way young men were sometimes convinced to sign up to take part in war was because it was sold as an adventure .
It’s that journey that gives Kingdom of Heaven the feeling of an adventure movie, with a good deal of travel playing out in the first half, and the big battle sequences are mostly saved for the second half. Kingdom of Heaven impresses when it comes to scale and action, and more than earns the right to have a runtime that exceeds three hours, making it odd that the shortened and inferior theatrical cut ever existed in the first place.
The protagonist builds his army as he travels from place to place, with this ensuring Spartacus grows in scale as it approaches its climax, gradually becoming more of a full-on war movie all the while. It’s grand, big-budget filmmaking done right, and could well be up there as one of the best epic movies of its time .
Adapting the James Fenimore Cooper novel of the same name, The Last of the Mohicans takes place during a period of warfare between French and British forces over American land during the 18th century, eventually focusing on a perilous rescue mission and an extended fight for survival. It’s a film that aims to do a lot in under two hours, and is largely successful, proving exciting, suspenseful, grand, and even a little romantic, too.
