Critics
Critics of this television series have spanned a long spectrum of opinions. Some regard it to be a spectacular production with classic value while others have whiplashed the series for its "unrealistic" characters. The lasting selflessness of the hero Ivan, as well as the incidental innocence displayed by some usually clever characters, does justify such criticism. However, the story as a whole was written in the spirit of romanticism, and true artists have not been able to dismiss its complex but excellently written plot, considering its genre.

Famous quotes containing the word critics:
“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled Science Fiction ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“Critics generally come to be critics not by reason of their fitness for this, but of their unfitness for anything else. Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime, and counsel should be heard on both sides.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
“Some have at first for wits, then poets passed,
Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
