I have studied military history all my life. This film's depiction of war in the early modern period is as good as it gets. I detected no anachronisms and clearly the production designers understood how the weapons were utilized. The fencing, especially the duel between Inigo and Malatesta, is wonderful.

This entire film is just stunning. The lighting, the directing, the costumes... It's like an Old Masters painting come to life. I'm off to see every Yanes film now.

This is, and I mean this seriously with no irony, one of if not the best film I have ever watched. It’s stunningly beautiful, as many have said every scene a painting, but indeed, the story itself serves as such an incredible backdrop for this exploration of humanity itself. Who these people are, their exploits, such as this, would never have seen light of day perhaps if not for this film. Viggo’s wonderful, but basically every other actor nailed their role pitch perfectly. My favorite movie 100%.

One of the greatest films ever made and with a great cast. A film about Capt. Alatriste (Viggo Mortenson), a heroic figure of Spain’s 17th century imperial wars, becomes a mercenary. This underrated film is Mysterious, Thrilling, Adventurous, and Action packed. Alatriste is a film that has the rare vibe which movies today lacks. Personally, I give it 5 stars.

I have read all seven Alatriste books by Pérez-Reverte, swashbuckling masterpieces. The film is totally loyal to them. This movie is phenomenal in its execution. Artistic direction is as good as it gets. Mortensen delivers Alatriste with the stoic and fatalistic persona forged in the book series. King Philip IV, Conde-Duke de Olivares, and Francisco de Quevedo are magnificently cast.

The theme of Perez-Reverte's Alatriste novels is how the Spanish national character brought about their empire's demise. One of his observations is the five generation rule, in which a Spanish family takes two generations to obtain wealth and nobility, the middle generation produces people like the King in this film, and then two generations to decline until they are back where they started.

@th3flick444

Gerry Leb true, although ironically Charles II was a pretty good king but, turned out he was as sickly as it gets thanks to the Habsburgs fucking each other and thus dying without a heir. One thing though thanks to the Tercios Spain was the world's major power, holding itself even though having something like 150 years of continuous war, having all kinds of shit thrown in our way, and thanks to the tercios we basically held on, after the tercios became outdated and having the Catalans making the usual shit they always do, the Spanish dominance came to an end.

Thank you for bringing this wonderful film to those of us who did not have the pleasure to see it in a theater!

It's hard to find a better film on its subject, and I know of none that shows warfare of the period as well. Perez-Reverte, a former war correspondent, wished to depict the sort of society that could produce a world-encompassing empire, but could not rule it effectively. The implied social commentary is essential to his view. Thanks so much for posting.

@@randalthor1955 Got it. It's a pastiche of several Alatriste novels in one, which gives a nonsense of a screenplay. Mortensen's good, but his voice doesn't make it.

Amazing! It feels Dark Souls Esque with all the dying. I felt transported back in time with this movie. Just wow.

THANK YOU very much! I enjoyed the movie. I was also been looking for this a long time!!

Incredible movie. Hollywood of today should be ashamed to not be making this quality of cinema- thank God the torch has been handed to the worthy.

The kind of movies that you can watch multiple times without loosing its luster.

Wow! Kudos to Benjamin Fernandez (PD), as well as the entire cast & crew. Amazing movie. Thanks

That last scene is so memorable too me man. Captain that got shot in tha neck! And even continued😬 the best friend dying😣 and then the old veterans giving their life for the young recruits damn and ofcourse the music! And final pose. FYI HIGH

One of my favourite movies and a very Big thank you for supplying the Subtitle download - much appreciated.

One of my favorite movies of all time thank you so much!

Excelente película. Me hubiera gustado que hicieran al menos 2 partes, porque faltan muchas cosas y todo pasa muy rapido pero es una adaptación maravilloso de las novelas de Reverte. Lo de Vigo Mortensen es increíble, lo clava. A brilliant film, a great history and great actors. Vigo Mortensen nailed it. Thanks for this gift.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Para quien no leyó los libros, la escena de caza en los alrededores del Escorial es confusa o incomprensible...

I rewatch this masterpiece a few times a year, and listen to the soundtrack on Apple music too.

Awesome movie .Better than a Hollywood movie.

"España mi natura, Italia mi ventura, Flandes mi sepultura". "Spain my nature, Italy my fortune, Flandes my grave". A Tercio's adage.

Beautiful movie!!! Director of Photo: Caravaggio...

A movie like a Velazquez painting.

Thank you I think my favourite film made with such honour

Truly, a beautiful movie. Such good acting on all parts

Brilliant film good subtitles despite what other commentators say well worth the watch

It's extremely rare to see a movie taking place during XVII century, during the 30 years War, which is probably the most devastating conflict Europe as ever seen. In proportion, even more than the 2WW. I can only remind The Last Valley by Clavell. I like this one and Viggo gives it a plus cause he looks a bad-ass as usual. In my history book when I used to go to school I had read the oly two tercios that remeained in Rocroi where the Spanish one and that formed by veteran italians who fough in Flanders, while those formed by Flemish and German ran away. But on spanish Wikipedia from what I can understand says only the spaniard tercio was the last to resist, is it true?

For Germany this war was deadlier that WW2. Even bloodier that Napoleonic Wars.

In many areas of Germany during the 30 Years War the population loss was around 30%, in a few regions even as high as 60% Causes were mostly famine, epidemics, pillaging and destruction of food supplies by starving armies, massacres here and there. Some cities were almost razed to the ground. WWII for Germany saw a lot of destruction but no such a population loss, probably 6-9%.
