* MisBlamed: A lot of the flak Guillermo Rincón has taken ever since the release, never acknowledged that he only made the basic premise, while everything else was done by Nixon Aguilera and Diego Zahec.

** The entire film is supposed to be serious, but the mishandled {{Animesque}} style makes the film hard to be taken seriously.
** The battles with swords are too over the top with shonen clichés: two sword combatants approach each other in different takes or the sword attacks break people by half.
** Despite the movie desperately wanting him to be taken seriously, Tiránico's name (which is just Spanish for "tyrannical") is so on the nose, especially for a movie based on historic events, that it's next to impossible.
** While the god-awful artstyle certainly doesn't help, the cartoon sound effects and "wah-wah" music being used in moments that are supposed to be taken seriously just ruin them even more.
** Ricaurte's HeroicSacrifice (which did happen in real life, by the way) is ruined because of the "DUN-DUN-DUN" music accentuating the weird zoom-ins before he blows up the powder.
** To show Bolivar maturing and getting ready to return to America, they basically made him go through a TransformationSequence where he gains bigger muscles and his hair becomes longer. Seeing a real-life hystorical figure transforming like an anime character is downright ''laughable''.
** The movie being so constantly adamant in reminding the audience about Bolivar's destiny of becoming America's savior by making him and everyone sound like he's the ChosenOne becomes more eyeroll-inducing than inspiring ''extremely'' quickly.

** "¡[X], salve usted la patria!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the time the trailer was the only thing available to the public regarding the movie, a lot of people took this bit where Bolivar adresses to Colonel Rondon (which roughly translates to "[X] you must save the country!") and made snowclones of it, usually replacing Rondon with an anime character's name[[/labelnote]]
Added DiffLines:
* ValuesDissonance: Sort of. The movie features a lot of characters, including Simon Bolivar, referring to Americo and the other slaves as “negros.” If this took place in the United States, it’s pretty clear they’d be saying the N-word, but since Spanish doesn’t really have an equivalent to it (“negro” is literally just “black” and a still-accepted way to refer to African-Americans) it doesn’t really come across as a slur but it can be still a bit headscratching to hear it being used so constantly in a movie aimed at kids.
