Could have been beautiful,but lost in the archaic

Rating: 5/10 (22 January 2012)

Now,i think the movie was good,seriously good,but it could have been much much better had they not used archaic.Well Ralph,i am extremely sorry to say that your Directorial Debut wont be a "fan raiser".This film was directly enacted from william Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus'(well may be too much)and hence it enjoyed some appeal and originality.However i would like to point out that 'ARCHAIC IS NOT MADE FOR MODERN CINEMA'.The use of archaic in the movie was merely disappointing and annoying throughout and it began to wear out the spark that the movie could have had.Archaic is good for books,where u have ample time to read and enjoy every sentence.However in A movie it just seems like a blur,as if they are trying to challenge your brains and ears in thinking & hearing faster beyond human capacity.Regarding acting,i would like to point out the fact that Ralph still has 'Voldemort' hangover.Many of his scenes (especially angry ones)reminded me of voldemort and not at all of coriolanus.Hopefully he will come out of it sometime.Vanessa was the crowning glory of the film,putting aside everyone else (including gerard,whose weird accent mixed with archaic seemed like he was mocking us for wasting bucks on his movie,sad move gerard).Overall,i am big fan of Shakespeare's works,but this one does not entirely justify it.Archaic in the backdrop of modern rome?? Not for everyone,especially me!! still i give 5/10 purely on the merit of Vanessa,Jessica and of course ......shakespeare!!
