Utterly rote romantic drama which retells the medieval legend of Tristan and Iseult. The script is not compelling, the story drags, and the leads barely register any passion whatsoever. If you must see a movie about star crossed lovers, see Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet ...( read more)
War, strategy, jealousy, deceit, power, love, honor and duty.
The story takes place after the fall of the Roman Empire. Britannia is left divided after the Romans left the lands as Ireland stands unscathed.

"I live in torture thinking of these moments. Every look he gives you I get sicker and sicker. There's a burning in me, I feel on fire and a guilt I can't comidify. Does it make you happy to know that?"
Typical, standard Hollywood epic is nothing more than light enterta...( read more)
Beautiful. It has a less than appealing ending, but the story is incredible and the cinematograpy is great. Wonderful cast, too.
Some great action but just a mildly entertaining romance with some decent support from it's stars. Not great but entirely bad
Before Romeo and Juliet...there was Tristan and Isolde.
Tragic medieval love story about Tristan an English knight who wins the hand of the fair Irish princess Isolde. But to the lovers dispair...not for himself but his "adoptive father" the King of England. The union is suppo...( read more)
i luv a good romance here and there but this story line seemed 2 fast but it was ok
While Tristan & Isolde, a competent but uninspired film version of the legendary medieval romance, will likely fade from theaters and memories quickly, Myles' lovely face and spirited performance shou... full review
We don't find a tale of transcendent passion but rather of two vain nitwits in a case of routine attraction. full review
Trying to underplay things, the actors practically sleepwalk. When someone finally gets the chance to shout, 'Seize him!' he does so with as much gusto as the guy who says, 'WINS news time: 8:45.' full review
This relationship lacks a critical ingredient: passion. full review
Over-the-top romance notwithstanding, Tristan and Isolde is a watchable hoot, with skirmishes and swordplay erupting whenever the story drags. full review
The knights and ladies don't look like escapees from a Prince Valiant comic strip, but like physical, vulnerable, survivors of the conflicts left behind by the Romans. full review
"My face in thine eyes, thine in mine appears;
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest.
Where can we find two better hemispheres?
Without sharp north, without declining west?
Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none can slacken,
none can die." ~ Isolde
This movie is just too emotional for me to love it.Plus,I'm not into normal romances...Sophia Myles would be great for the part as Kate,from the Denali Clan,in the Twilight series.
Wow! This was an amazing movie. So romantic yet there was a lot of fighting. James Franco did a terrific job as Tristan. I love it and it almost made me cry!
This is a really good movie! really passionate and sweet. any girl would love a guy to be like that! omg, u just have to see this movie! my fave lines:
Isolde: How many have you loved before me?
Tristan: None.
Isolde: And after me?
Tristan: None.
Oh! So sweet! I love this movie...
Saw this DVD over the weekend. Not bad, but I would have preferred to see Sewell as Tristan. His presence as an actor is stronger...and he is definately all man. I just think he would have been more believable as the one that Isolde could not part herself from. Now... this is not to say that Franco is not a decent actor, he just would been better elewhere in the story. The movie is alright...not brilliant, but alright.
I AMMM the #1 fan.. im truly obssessed... i watch it like 9 times in a week :|...I adore this movie.. its the greatest ever.. so much love and passion and DESIRE..
