nobleplatypus1) You are chock-full of awesome actors.
2) Yet, at the end of the day, you seemed kind of like a big excuse for a thousand Arteesteek camera shots. "Look! Spyglass cam! And here's a pretty stained-glass window! And here's the characters from just the knees down!"
3) I guess when your story's unsatisfying, pretty cinematography is all you have left, eh?
4) Keeley Hawes = Kiera Knightly plus 30 pounds. Scary. Also, her character was an idiot, because NO ONE PASSES ON A HOT AND LOVESICK DAVID TENNANT. NO ONE. AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE FUGLY IRISH REBEL WHO'S FOND OF MURDER AND ATTEMPTED RAPE.
5) EVEN THOUGH TENNANT WAS WEARING A BIG, FUNNY HAT THAT RUINED A FEW EMOTIONAL SCENES. ALSO, HITLER CALLED. HE WANTS HIS HAIR BACK.
6) AND THEN TENNANT'S CHARACTER DIED. He was one of the maybe FOUR likeable characters in the whole damn film, and he DIED. LAME.
7) I dunno. I guess since it's all historical and whatnot, it has to reflect the occasional lameness of real life. But damn. There must have been at least one happy ending in the revolution, right? Why can't we make a movie about that?
8) But it's okay. At the end of the day, Fiona Shaw won. Sort of. Because Tennant's death could be construed as entirely her fault, in a way, because she was the one who told him to check the mill. But I prefer to think of it as entirely Keeley's fault, for STOOPIDLY being AT the mill with Fugly O'Rapeyrape.
... I'm never watching this movie again.
