Already from the first scene you will notice that this isn't your
typical historic piece. A fighting match (a la Fight Night 3) with
Matrix like effects accompanied by a modern hip hop beat. There is no
doubt whatsoever this movie is meant as a comedy. But the surprise lies
in the fact that "1724 Hero" has room for much more serious drama. The
romance scenes for once aren't annoying and gives the movie it's edge.
Although a bit melodramatic it can be perceived as sincere. The
emotions that are depicted by the main characters are universal and can
be felt. Something that certainly will appeal to a larger audience. I
must admit that glancing through some scenes that this movie seemed
very goofy to me. Only after truly watching the movie I discovered that
it was a lot fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. You can see that the
actors had a lot of fun making this movie. Action fans also won't be
disappointed since there is just enough. Only don't expect too much
since it is limited to some brawling. These brawling scenes however are
beautifully filmed with some cgi in it. It's like watching a live
action anime.
