Maybe in Schools

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2012)

This film is likely to be a staple of English Lit classes in the future, but as a movie in theatres I don't see the point. Certain actors are a draw, and Ralph Feinnes + Gerard Butler + Brian Cox = Awesome.. I really really wanted to like this, and persevered, but in the end I'm gonna have to ask Ralph for my two hours back. (very politely mind.. he's a big angry looking lump..) Like I say.. look forward to your kids watching this in school.. and not being happy about it. The ridiculous speeches might be fine on the stage, but its a whole lot of nothing. Why use one word when ten fanciful words will bore everyone to death. In the end its a lesson in why Coleridge decided that plain language was best. All the dancing round the point, talking lots but saying little.. jees.. just watch the Parliament channel for half hour if you need a fix. Filmed well tho..
