Beware the Ides of March

Rating: 2/10 (28 March 2016)

I was really disappointed in this Coen brothers film. I guess you can't always make great films.
Perhaps the following analogy will sum up my feelings best. Let's say you where given a beautiful bottle of Dom Perignon, and knowing its reputation you are expecting the best thing you will ever taste. You wait for that special moment to share it with a loved one, spend a lot of money in the preparation prior to opening it... and then you pop the cork... but to no pop... it's just awfully flat.
This film with all its stars should have been a warning. Big cast films usually are disappointing. The film was really all about appearance. They could even win an Oscar for best time period costumes, but the script was uninteresting, flat and with no substance. Did the Coen brothers really make this film? The only scene I enjoyed was with Ralph Fiennes as a director. Man, this film was not even to the level of a Hollywood "B" movie... I would call it a "D" movie.
