This review is for the Directors Cut. Any theatrical release is almost half the runtime, but suffers incredibly due to cut content taking entire key plot points and whole characters away.
I'm fairly mixed on how I feel about this film. The casting in this movie is incredible, for all but 2 characters. Amazing actors such as Jeremy Irons and even Liam Neeson completely become their role, and make you look forward to every scene they inhabit. The two casting choices that pull the movie down? The protagonist and antagonist. If Liam Neeson or even Jeremy Irons starred, this may easily have been a classic, but Orlando Bloom unfortunately seems... |
