Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2015)

I was really looking forward to see this movie. As a gay man working with computers all my life, and the director being one of my fellow countrymen, my expectations were high. Unfortunately I left the cinema very disappointed. In my view, Morten Tyldum should not have applied the recipe of a Harry Potter movie to such an exiting historical drama. Or maybe a comparison to the Sherlock Holmes movies by Guy Ritchie would be closer, just without the action. It is difficult to express the immense irritation and frustration the format of this movie created. The cast is excellent, but the director's choice of a fairy tale format is ridiculous. If you are looking for a Disney movie, I guess you would enjoy it though.
