I thought I was an idiot until I spoke to someone after the movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2011)

I really was looking forward to this movie. Haven't read the book, haven't watched the TV Series. So everything about the movie was new to me. Had they supplied a handbook explaining who is who what is what and where is where and especially when is when, I might have followed the story a little bit. But even then, I am not so sure. I really thought that either my English language was not enough or my IQ until I spoke to one of the other viewers on the exit of the theatre and -thankfully- she confirmed to me that it was neither my English nor my IQ. The film is just plainly bad. Nothing moves or means anything. Obviously an intricate story is there, but someone has to be able to tell you that. Yes the acting is excellent, no denying that. But it's more like different -and totally unrelated- sections of a script being rehearsed in a top level theater school. A real time waster.
