How can you go wrong with Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannson and Eric Bana! WoW

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2008)

We start all of our reviews with the following information. My wife and I have seen nearly 100 movies per year for the past 15 years. Recently, we were honored by receiving lifetime movie passes to any movie any time at no cost! So we can see whatever we want whenever we want. The point of this is that CRITICS count for ZERO. Your local critics or the national critics like Ebert are really no different than you or me. The only difference is that they get to write about the movie and are forced to see hundreds of movies whether they want to or not.Therefore, it is our belief that if you get your monies worth for two hours of enjoyment that is good enough for us! We NEVER EVER listen or read the critics. We only care about our friends and those who we know like the same things as us. Well enough about that.
We loved the movie and thought that Natalie Portman was outstanding and Oscar worthy again. Scarlett did a great job and Eric Bana was equal to the task. The costuming and this period piece was simply beautiful with the story and plot line very very interesting. It is nice to see a movie that is a wonder to the eyes without theatrical effects. We recommend it to everyone.
