They wanted him to him to be the bad guy when really, it was Count Vronsky that was the real villain of the story.<br /><br />It was a terrible film. I found myself being bored by the end of the second act where fortunately, I was able to stop because my Dad wanted to watch the game and I decided to watch the rest of it later on and I realized that I wasn't really missing much. <br /><br />thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-34286159185643254532013-10-03T23:41:39.136-07:002013-10-03T23:41:39.136-07:00The visuals for this at the start were really cool...The visuals for this at the start were really cool and I liked the way they made this look like a stage play, but I agree that the style alone can't save this from being dull. Why did they treat Jude Law's character as the bad guy when he was right for the entire movie.

Knightley and Johnson as a sexy couple? No. Especially compared to Jude Law who is motherfuckin' sexy!!!! I was more distracted by Knightley's teeth.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-11564061402753069832013-09-29T16:58:09.914-07:002013-09-29T16:58:09.914-07:00Good review.

And even while it does start off with plenty of promise in the first 30 minutes, it all goes South for the next hour-and-a-half and just bored me to tears, even though Knightley and Johnson made for a very sexy couple.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-55430731533307684032013-09-29T14:37:16.285-07:002013-09-29T14:37:16.285-07:00@Mette-It has moments that are intriguing and fun ...@Mette-It has moments that are intriguing and fun to watch but it is very disappointing as a whole.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-59105896957787123942013-09-29T13:35:08.180-07:002013-09-29T13:35:08.180-07:00I really want to watch this movie despite the many...I really want to watch this movie despite the many disappointed opinions I've heard so far.

Yet, it's just that it's a fucking a mess and the leads aren't very good. I was very disappointed with this film. It's not as bad as <i>The Soloist</i> but it's still just very dull.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-1806699255774519092013-09-29T11:35:58.019-07:002013-09-29T11:35:58.019-07:00I've avoided this one so far, judging from you...I've avoided this one so far, judging from your review, I think I made the correct choice. <br />I admire the effort of trying to bring it to the screen, but probably such a long book should be a mini-series instead.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
