Musings:
Ok, I admit it, guess what! Another slow movie. But while the others have been...eh...fine in their slowness. This one was rather dull and I felt like falling asleep at one point and needed a tea break.
Sure the clothes were pretty. Nice scenery too a times. The actors did well, and it happened to be another Rickman movie. Though I can't say he fit in his role as the king.
BUT, I would not really recommend this movie. It was nice to watch, I had the time, but yes dull. BF would totally have fallen asleep if I had watched it with him, as it was now I watched it with a friend. Who loves Winslet, but thought it was dull too.
Not a bad movie, just a really boring one.
