I never fall asleep in the cinema. Today must have been the first time in YEARS that this has happened. And I had a good nights sleep when I woke up this morning. I don't know what it is, but something is just missing. The whole movie is just dire. It's too long and this howling singing in nearly every scene was just too much. Some of the dialogues were just laughable and is it only me, or is anyone else wondering why a Greek princess has a German accent? Everyone else managed a quite generic accent but she just couldn't do it and it stood out in a negative way. Ms Kruger should have tried harder or the accent coach they have hired was useless. No no no, after seeing this I just felt let down. Wait for 'The Day after Tomorrow' by fellow German director Emmerich and give this a pass. Seriously.
You've blown it again, Wolfgang.
