Musings:
I heard this one was good so I had to give it a go. It took me a while thought. And as always, rather slow moving. The movie take its time.
I liked the historical beginning. I had only seen this other poster so I did not realise when it would take place. The thief falls in love with the dying woman. And look there is magic around, and dark powers. Yes I really had no idea what it was about. There was a whole world not known to others.
I liked Farrell, that accent was not bad either you know. Crowe was a nice baddie, even if I really did not get why he wanted him dead. Good characters.
And then it moved to the present era...no more about that.
A good movie. But yes for some reason I keep picking the slow ones. Not slow as in bad, just slow. Not a lot of action and so on.

I saw this in the theater and found it confusing.
ReplyDeleteIt was strange...
DeleteI have not heard of this movie. I am not sure that it would be for me. Thanks for your thoughts on this one.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to watch the not so popular ones
DeleteHmm, I have not heard of this one.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI remember the trailer for this one but had no idea that's what it was about.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
It is hard to explain
DeleteThis sounds good, but I rarely watch movies. Maybe if someone could make it into a book...LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat review. :)
It is a novel ;)
DeleteIt was the olden days ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen this one. Ooo
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteThis is adapted from a book? Good to hear. The story sounds like something I'd like to read, but maybe as a movie I might get bored ;-)

It seems so :) I have not heard of the book or author
DeleteThe book was ginormous! To tell you the truth, I wish the lead was played by another actor. I'm not the biggest fan of Collin. :/
ReplyDeleteIt was? Well I can believe that
DeleteHmmm... maybe?!
ReplyDeleteThis one is new t me too. Looks like a good cast though.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find the smaller ones :)
DeleteI like the actors, but not sure I want to watch a slow one, either. I fall asleep so easily these days for shows and movies.
ReplyDeleteLol. Me too
DeleteI haven't heard of this one either. Might have to try it as I quite like Colin Farrell.
