I am not sure how this movie could be any better or be any more fun. It is a solid feel good movie with really nifty effects. For example it wardrobes Shannyn Sossamon in modetn day Haute Couture. So much cooler than dressing her in period garb. The casting is superb. Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer is five-star fabulous. Ledger's performance is unquestionably oscar-worthy. And so is Rufus Sewell's snarky and sinister portrayal as the heavy. The action scenes are fantastic leaving you wanting more. Each supporting role by Laura Fraser, Mark Addy, Bérénice Bejo, Alan Tudyk and Christopher Cazenove are all Oscar quality. Worth watching over and over like I have.

The thing that keeps this film from being fairly good is the lack of quality directing. The script is pretty good. The concept is a bit trite but still has interesting life. The casting is decent. A few performances are very good. But what is missing is spark. The characters don't stand out. The dialogue presentation is flat. Poor diection is to blame. Either there was a low budget that limited how many takes could be filmed but I strongly suspect that the director wasn't very good at his craft. He had no discernable vision. He could have nurtured several interpositions between some characters but alas, he did not.

This movie is fantastic! There is nothing to slight it for. It's an adventure flick. It is a war flick. It is a period piece. It is a time-travel sci-fi flick. It is about revenge, dishonesty and it is about honor. And it is a charming love story. The acting is great. The story is excellent. The casting is spot on. The direction is magnificent. But it is the fabulous editing that truly makes this a stand out film. The action is fast-paced. No scene is out of place or wasted. At no time in the fighting scenes are you lost as to who is who. The reenactments of 14th century warfare are superbly convincing. Wow, wow, wow!!!

Don't sell this movie short. It is much better that you might think. Full of clichés but presented in a very effective way that it is more entertaining than they would otherwise be. A tired overused storyline comes across fresh and is careful to not be overdone. Acting is more than credible. Casting is good. Taylor Cole is excellent in a supporting role early in her career before she became a mainstream star of multiple romantic showcases on Lifetime and Hallmark. Well worth the time to watch and be ready to be pleasantly surprised with many clever comedic elements. Bottom line is that it's good to know that camp is still good.

Kudos for the Experiment but oops, fumble. Old people seeking romance is, in a word, BORING! What makes the Bachelor genre entertaining is the pettiness and immaturity of young people. These senior citizens are too marure to be entertaining. Too nice. Too mutually supportive. The Golden Bacbelor is a doufus. Decent guy. Kind. Honest. Passionate. Thoughtful. Considerate. Ideal for a familial patriarch. But totally unentertaining for the anchor of a reality t.v. Show. Who wants to watch a movie about a lovable teddy-bear grandpa, I ask? Answer is: no one! This series has made its bread and butter on irrational drama. No fun without it.

A way too long, way too disjointed and unfocused, and way too overdone attempt at depicting what Hollywood was like behind the scenes in its heyday transitioning from the silent matinee idol era to extravagant epic talkies. Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie are excellent but their able efforts are overwhelmed by way too much scenery chewing unnessesarily infused by overactive writer and director imaginations. The result is a grotesque rendering that is so much that one's senses are overloaded to the extent that one loses interest very quickly and merely hopes that it will be over soon. In comparison to the similar historical epic about the evolution of the movie industry, 'How the West Was Won,' Babylon is an embarrassment.

Wilhemina ('Billie') Mann and her best friend Sasha Snow take you on a wild and bumpy ride through their adult lives finding love and losing it and finding it again. You are swept up on an eclectic journey full of emotions, self-discovery, joy, heartbreak, self-accomplishment, and intense sexual gratification. Superbly acted by a great cast. An integrated mix of comedy, tragedy, eroticism, and probing insight into what makes an adult woman tick. A crowning achievement for Sarah Shahi that has opened many doors for continued artistry in her acting career. Every episode is so good that each is worth your time view a second and even a third time.

A script just barely worth filming. Acting just barely above competent. Directing just barely good enough to make this watchable. Just barely worth your time.

I am not a gamer but I truly have to hope that gamers would find this waste of good brain cells mostly stupid too. This movie seems like it is a series of cgi antics a talented programmer created and an attempt to cobble them into a story. Epic fail!

I rated the movie a 10 and called it the ultimate feel good movie and said that any reviewer who did not feel the same was a troll. This tv show presents a totally unique concept and pulls it off admirably. Beyond words. It is the most fantastic and feel good tv show I've watched in 70 years of being a tv junkie. The most very mostest best!!!!!

Very interesting story eerily reminiscent of Eastwood's directorial debut 'Play Misty for Me' a year or so earlier where Lenz masterfully plays thre femme fatale but also where Holden gets to reprise his role in 'Sunset Boulevard' but now as the older character in the love-hate dynamic. Very well done.

Perfect casting. Perfect acting. Perfect directing. Perfect story.. Perfect cinematography. Perfect setting. But it's the perfect blend of popular music with the story that makes this movie one you'll never get tired of watching over and over.
