oh dear

Rating: 2/10 (25 December 2005)

I went into this film with an open mind, with time on my hands and simply hoping to see something entertaining. Unfortunately I was terribly disappointed, 'Legends of the Fall' is overlong, silly and very boring. For all the great cinematography and dramatic score it does not add up to a great film if you don't get the characters right, and i was disappointed in the performances of Pitt and Hopkins, being a fan of the latter I rather wish I had'nt seen this film as he clearly drops ricketts here; for example speaking with a welsh accent when his character isn't welsh, and at one point in another scene when he loses his temper for a moment there I thought he would break out in German. Pitt didn't come across a soldier from the great war, more like a protagonist from 'bill and Ted's excellent adventure' The storyline is soppy, sentimental and absurd and really doesn't bear going into, I did not like it and would not recommend it to other adults as a drama, I would only recommend it to fans of brad Pitt. I give it 2/10
