The First Official Tarkan Movie, 11 October 2005
10/10
Author: quirinus from Izmir-Turkey

The best adaptation of a comic book (better than lucky Luke anyway:)) The Hunnic comic hero Tarkan (a phenomenon in Turkey) is an Akinci (commando) of Attila khan of Huns (not king, king is bey, khan is emperor) Tarkan is a son of a Beg in Caucasus and orphaned by Alans in his first birthday ceremony adopted by a she-wolf(its very common in Turkish myths) and raised as a wolf after some time a Hunnic man survived from Alan massacre finds him and teaches him to be a knight(the first knight known is him also) to avenge his tribe... In his adventures Tarkan deals with sorcery(mostly women), trickery (mostly from West Romans and Chinese) and treachery (of minor nations). Unlike western or eastern heroes of today Tarkan isn't a super hero like Conan or Sinbad he is the best wrestler ,excellent swordsman, he is vulnerable in some senses (like nationalism and humanism) he can be arrested, he doesn't like to live socially (his best friend is his Wolf) he is loyal to his Khan etc etc... If you have liked Gladiator you will love Tarkan movies as its original in lot senses they are similar but the end....
