A movie worthy of being a masterpiece - in all aspects., 13 September 1999
Author: oscar99 from Makati City, Philippines

"Jose Rizal" has been touted as one of the masterpieces of Philippine cinema. For the first time in years, I enjoyed watching a historical film without getting bored, what with Cesar Montano's award-winning turn as the title role as well as the realistic period settings and well-written script. No wonder it became a critical and box-office success in our country for months. Audiences loved it, and so do I. But after having lost the local Oscars last May (after winning 3 Best Picture awards), I could only say that detractors can't still hold of this movie worthy of emulation. Come and watch it, and you'll surely enjoy!
