Overall good

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2012)

Although most of the recommendations I got were accompanied with the phrase "the movie was too slow", I disagree up to a point. I would have enjoyed it more if it was just a bit shorter... some scenes were not that crucial for the plot. But, never the less, 90% of it was enjoyable for me. Here's a breakdown of the formula according to me: Cast - spot on; Acting - good; Story - very good; Costumes - horrible; Make up - not good; Special effects - average; Idea - already seen but it was refined much better; Directing - Bad, not sure why these directors today like the shaky camera that much. One of the most important aspects of any movie is that the audience needs to be able to see what is going on without developing a headache. The camera is shaky all the time, even when there's no need for it. Apart from that it was OK.
