Confusion!

Rating: 2/10 (10 June 2012)

My husband and I sat down to watch this and were instantly confused as to why the setting was modern times, modern uniforms in Rome, but the dialogue is in British and Irish. They also speak as if from old world Britain, rather than modern times,as the setting appears.
Very confusing! I pulled up the movie info and found it was from Shakespeare, which explained the "thee's" and "thou's", and old world language, but not the British and Irish language set in Rome.
I love the actors and actresses in this movie, but was not impressed with how the movie was done...it just made no sense! Would have much rather seen the actors/actresses speaking with a Roman accent, set in the time it was intended. We turned it off about an hour in.....just didn't seem worth it because of the confusion! Denise
