Odd setting

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2012)

The movie is obviously not for everyone. Like what other reviewers said, they use Shakespearean English in a modern world setting. The dialogues are difficult to comprehend and the way the citizens behave doesn't seem right. It's weird to see people with modern cellphones and flat-screen televisions behaving like people from the ancient era. In the end, the movie is very hard to digest. It is unconvincing. The movie will be great if it is set in Ancient Rome. It makes much more sense that way. I find the movie very hard to enjoy because English is not my native language and I have to read the subtitles so carefully so that I can follow the story. Watching the movie is more like an exercise than a recreation to me. I never knew about Coriolanus by Shakespeare until I watch this movie. I can't helped but to be bored by the movie. This is not my type of movie.
