Heres a movie with a great story concept and good cinematography, however the production of the whole thing lacked good directing. Theres only 2 things I hated about this movie, one was the cussing, which I found utterly unecessary and greatly misplaced. the second has to be the ...( read more)
One of the things I like most about this movie is the levity that carries it. Some movies get so full of themselves that they get bogged down, but not thing one. Stellan Skarsgard plays against type as the weary, drunken, annoyed and befuddled king, and there's a humanity that pe...( read more)

Take care all,
