Rugile S @RugileRose 2d The movie wasn't what I imagined and it didn't really surprise me.But the idea of the film is good, but maybe it wasn't successful in executing the idea in my opinion.I was deeply disappointed, especially since I used Dante's Divine Comedy for my exam.

The film resembles a play in places and borrows heavily both contextually and in dialogue from medieval literature, including winking at Shakespeare. I'm thinking any number of critics and audience members will find it overly detailed, long and too 'high minded'. Which is fine, it wasn't made for quick thrills or action. I expect the audience will skew *much* older as well due to length, subject matter and pacing. The acting is strong, although Gerard Butler's accent drifts a little here and there. I felt that the intertwining of historical and present day, and the juxtaposition of black and white with colour filming, added well to the story. Overall an enjoyable tale, with a slower pace for weekend watching. See more Chery W @RT46121223 5d So well done! Captivating and entertaining on so many levels. Excellent cast, plot twists, locations, costumes, and a nuanced storyline that kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I loved it and will watch it again. The one thing I could have done less of was the gun violence. See more Sarah T @RT28048506 5d The biggest problem with this movie, in my opinion, is Gal Gadot's performance. I found her acting so wooden and unconvincing that it overwhelmed everything else the film had going for it. Every line sounded rehearsed rather than lived-in, with awkward delivery that drained the emotion from scene after scene. Gal Gadot is truly a disappointing actress and the movies she’s in are utterly underwhelming.
