Good, entertaining, Pitt horribly miscast

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2016)

When you've got some of the best actors with British accents and suddenly Brad Pitt comes on the scene and tries his go at it with something resembling American Shakespeare, you know it's going to fail miserably. And it does. Put him next to Bana, Peter O'Toole and even Legolas and Pitt sounds like a clown. He does his best but is really miscast.
The rest of the cast is fantastic, especially Bana, O'Toole and especially Brian Cox who is positively detestable. Very well done. The fact that there aren't any dull moments for this long behemoth of a movie speaks volumes as to its entertainment value.
If you can get past Pitt, this is definitely worth the watch and the production value is extremely high.
