some entertaining characters but at the end BORING

Rating: 5/10 (8 February 2009)

I saw this movie because I like the work of Kirsten Dunst and because I wanted to learn a little more of the life of Marie Antoinette, but I regret I saw it because it was to long and boring. I think this film deserves 5.5 star.
At the beginning it seems that this is going to be an interesting movie, but as the minutes pass it diminish a lot. Kirsten Dunst is OK as Marie Antoinette, well in general the performances are good. The movie looks great it seems like we are seeing real people of that era. what I didn't like was that the character of Louis XVI was played like a caricature. I think it would have been much better if it would have lasted just 100 minutes instead of 123, because it has many boring moments and its pace is too slow. I would have liked to see more of the characters of Comtesse du Barry. and Comtesse de Noailles which I found interesting and funny.
In this film we see Marie Antoinette since her arrival to France to marry Louis XVI, her life like the queen of France until her exit from palace with her family because of the french revolution.
This movie is recommended only for women. And if you are a man only watch it if you are a Kirsten Dunst's die hard fan
