Not believable mix of old times speech vs visuals

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2012)

This movie TOTALLY flopped in my book. Cinematography is great, acting is great, story is great... but the mix of modern time scenarios and cinematography, and old times form of speech totally threw me off... it's simply not two things I consider you CAN OR MAY MIX !! The bottom line is that modern warfare combined with Shakespeare'ISH speech is VERY DIFFERENT, and those two things are for audiences FAR apart.
I CAN appreciate an ART movie or two, but this COMBO is simply FAR from compatible in my opinion. The visuals say GO RAMBO, and the speech say GO "Harvard English Major Geek".I couldn't be convinced of either of the two possible interpretations of this movie, so in my opinion it fails in almost every department but cinematography... it IS VERY graphic and realistic in its fighting scenes... so FIGHT Don't TALK ;-(
3 stars for the VISUAL great work !
7 or perhaps a little 8 stars if dialog had been rephrased so it sounded like it was spoken by people from today or the near future, as the movie is supposed to be set in.
