Wasn't for me

Rating: 2/10 (1 June 2012)

I can understand that some people would enjoy this film, but I did not. I am a fan of Shakespeare, which is apparently what this is based on. I am also a huge fan of war films. This film attempts to use a modern setting of Rome and still strongly sticks to the Shakespeare dialog. In my opinion it just doesn't fit at all. The visuals and action is entertaining and draws you in, but every time the characters speak their lines my spidey senses start tingling, telling me "something isn't right here." I barely made it 30 minutes into the film before I decided I couldn't take it any more. If you don't mind that, then you will probably enjoy the film...If you do, stay away.
