Mmm, so I just watched Tristan + Isolde. I liked it, but in all honesty, it was mainly because of Sophia Myles. James Franco did nothing else but stand around looking pretty with tearful eyes. The plot itself -the British tribes coming together against a common enemy, Ireland - takes a second place to the romance, and it works in a way, if not entirely.

What this movie has in its favor is its wonderful pacing - it makes it dinamic, entertaining, and it manages to make the budding romance seem plausible and real when told in a few minutes. Its other strenghts are the fantastic cinematography, which shows open, lavish spaces, and has generally gorgeous landscapes; and the music, which was rather lovely - really emotive. So yeah, it was nice, if not perfect by any chance.

As always, more coherent and longer review in depelicula (in Spanish).
