i must have seen a different film!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is an example of sometimes how unreliable online rating can be. Magyar Vándor (Hungarian Walker) is a fine movie of refined humour and is an homage to Hungarian history. Most of the jokes are only understandable for Hungarians or those who really know the language and culture of this nation. Magyar Vándor is gentle, funny and peaceful. The movie honours the great achievements of the Hungarian people and respects other cultures. Even the title is humorous, it refers to the gymnastic discipline invented by Zoltán Magyar, but it also refers to the story of the movie. I highly recommend it to educated Hungarians or those who live in a country with Hungarian minorities.

I think this movie is a "half-masterpiece". It's true that it doesn't change the world (nor do the characters in it), but it surely awakens the Hungarian identity in us! It has a quite refined humor that is typical to Hungarian movies. But this is even a special one! Because you can understand it only if you are aware of the Hungarian history. (Not recommended for foreigners, sorry...) And the movie also gives hints about smaller cases like: famous Hungarian inventions, quotations from great Hungarian poems, big events (like the result of the football match: 6-3), etc. All in a humorous way! But the most impressive thing is the truth of all that the movie shows: the big changes in Hungarian history while it also always remains the same; the typical personalities of Hungarians (the mentality of them); and the fact that anything happens here, however bad thing would that be, Hungarians will always be the same, they will always be happy, friendly and a little crazy but in our nice way! And we never lose site of hope! Entertaining, instructive, far from dull, fills the heart with warmth. It is the Hungarians', it is for the Hungarians. It always turns out that we can laugh at ourselves! :)

I understand the bad comments from those who totally lack any sense of humor and historical - cultural basics of Hunagry. Others surely must have enjoyed this movie. The harem scene was too erotic, this is why my vote is only 9. I really liked special appearances that were relating to different well known Hungarian TV series' and movies of old. (Like "Tenkes kapitánya" and "Egri csillagok", even with the original actors: Ferenc Zenthe and György Bárdi) The songs were good to! All of the seven viziers' character were well performed. Sándor Gáspár, as hotel manager was my favorite minor character in this movie. The Chinese silk and gunpowder agent was hilarious.

I went to see this one with little expectations. The director's previous movie was quite innovative, but lacked everything to make it good. It was slow, clumsy with needless and bad lines and of course (Hungarian movie!), not too good acting. After seeing a trailer and reading about this movie, I thought that it too would suffer from the same problems.But I was quite pleased. The movie indeed is too long and slow, with some of the dialogues pointless and badly written, but at least the storyline is enjoyable, and there are some realy good jokes (for Hungarians, don't expect to understand anything in this movie, if you're not Hungarian). Some of the characters are realy good (It seems that to have big actors for small roles can really help). It appears that the director got the hang of it during the making of the movie, because it starts out very awkward but gets better about the third way through.Although full of bits that are annoying because they could have been done better, this movie was worth the prise of the ticket. Nothing like Monty Python and the Holy Grail (although clearly influenced by it), but good for an otherwise pointless night.
