2 out of 5 stars What was all the hype for???   April 18, 2008
 4 out of 7 found this review helpful

I was so dissapointed with this film after hearing, not too mention all the reviews and build up before its release. Not the best part for Keira Knightley. Sadly, I became bored with the story line and ended up doing the ironing, how sad is that. Please don't expect too much. Probably worth viewing at 5 but not at the price I paid for it!!!


4 out of 5 stars hyped, but deservedly so.   April 16, 2008

I feel to say this film is massively over-hyped is unfair. I think the beginning and end of this film are excellent, the middle part drags a little more, as in the book, it's a more convoluted piece of plot.

Overall this film if a great piece which gives a believable account of one girls guilt for a simple misconception from her childhood.

If you enjoyed the book you will not be dissappointed, it is very true to the novel.

1 out of 5 stars utter rubbish   April 10, 2008

I dont normaly write reveiws on here, but i saw this while looking for something else. Its hyped up to the eye balls, and as with the films "that everyone" is talking about is complete crap! It was a pointless story with some of the worst acting since Torchwood!!
I love movies and dvd's but iam starting to get anoyed that hollywood cant kick out any Brilliant movies, like Scarface, Platoon, Titanic, Seven etc. Theres hasent been a good movie for years, which has forces me to hunt for great 80's/90's film to keep me entertained. The last one i watched was jesse james, with brad pitt, again, Crap!

It's well acted and cinematically gorgeous but the story is slow and lacks depth.

Some scenes are drawn out and/or the music is so overpowering that my hubby and I frequently gave each other side glances of "Okay, we get the point. Get on with it". It has a downbeat ending which we hadn't expected. All-in-all we were left thinking, and saying, What was the point of that?! Not entertainment at all. Dreary and downbeat film trying to be super artsy.

Only rated a 15 because of brief but no nudity passionate sex scene and the use of the most foul of swear words (though never actually utter thankfully. You see it written down and it plays a pivotal part in the hero's downfall).

Felt we wasted our time with this one.
