Really disappointing!!

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2012)

Being a period pieces fan, I wanted to see a movie that could combine drama, with comedy and all the old-fashioned traditions. Then I saw Marie Antoinette here, on a list with "GREAT" period pieces. Oscar won, famous actors and actresses's (Kirsten Dust, Judy Davis, etc.), a good metascore review, I said to myself "wow, this seems like a must watch". I saw it like 30 minutes ago, and I feel for the first time that I wasted 2 hours. I learned about the controverted history of Marie Antoinette and I usually enjoy historical-based movies, but this...this is just a stupid joke. Seriously? Childish parties, weak plot line, only pink dresses and cake's and strawberry's. What can I learn from here about Marie Antoinette? Absolutely nothing!! Sure the acting was fine and all, but the actors can't do anything for themselves! They need a good plot line, a story, something that could make the public tick! What on earth was this?! And I thought that The Turist was bad. Comparing the movies again, The Turist could gain an 8 now from me. They just made fun of all the history! The France history, Marie Antoinette's history, everything. It was not funny, there were hard times back then. I know they wanted to focus on her other side, a more childish, innocent side, but they failed to impress. At least in my point of view.
And I recently read here a post that said that this is a masterpiece, and that even someone re-watched three times or so... I wanted to stop it at the half of its running, but my mother made me not to, because she hoped for a better evolution. Didn't happened. And when someone intervened there and said that it was weak, someone trashed the guy, for not interfering because it's "a girl" post. Well I'm a girl and I found it awful. I like parties, but this movie is beyond ridiculous. Ridiculos is a big word for this movie.
And the soundtrack...please. It scratched my ears.
I'm not a grumpy person, on the contrary I enjoy every bit about this life whether it's funny or not, but this movie really doesn't capture anything. Nor the teenage theme, nor the history theme (or whatever), nor anything. Poorly directed, poorly written, very good acting. That why it receives an 5 from me, because the actors had no fault.
I don't recommend for those seeking history, but only for those animal party lovers.
