Tried to like it...

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2011)

Those who love this film try to excuse "us" who did not like it for being homophobic and not open minded. I am super open minded, and I love strange stories, truth to details. I would never be put off by a film for being different or "shocking". Actually those scenes were the better ones in the movie, so don't go there..
1)I am an intellectual. 2)I am also a scholar and archaeologist. 3)I appreciate historic accuracy both when it comes to the story and when it comes to chronologically correct use of artifacts,costumes, reconstruction.. This movie had its moments. Honestly I tried to like it. But I think it was horrible. Angelina was so fake and unbelievable with the silly accent and Hollywood beauty. And Colin had such fake blonde hair. It is known that people at the time bleached their hair. Perhaps the movie tried to be true to that, still it gave me such a fake taste in my mouth. Using a naturally fair haired actor with a tan would have been better.
Just compare it to Mel Gibson's historical interpretations... Falls very very short.. This movie fell very short to any British or BBC historical movies, series....
Apologies for my English.
