Tith A Bore my Love , Tith A Frightful Bore

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2005)

Why didn't I think SIL was all that great ? It hath a great cast , including the always superb Geoffry Rush pursued by some Elizabethan mafia types led by Tom Wilkenson and dith feature Dame Judi Dench , even thy figure of hatred Ben Affleck is a jolly fine thespian in this movie . Tith a well directed tale with fine clothing and the sound , oh behold the sound mix . And the funny bits ... " Romeo and Ethel the pirates daughter " what cheeky fellows those screenwriters are , they have a fine wit , how could one not enjoy the humour and romance of this bard's tale ?
Probably because it's rather boring ! There's a certain amount that post modernism and sly self referential humour can be enjoyable but after a while it can become rather tedious , but the main problem, is that it's a romantic comedy and no matter who is in it or what it's about romantic comedies don't appeal to this audience member . Now that I've seen it and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN I think that ELIZABETH probably deserved the Best Picture Oscar that year
