Stars James Franco (or Harry from Spiderman) and Rufus Sewell, among others, it's a tale of tragic love between Tristan (a Briton) and Isolde (Irish princess-type) in the Dark Ages.

 

Action sequences are pretty good, enjoyed some head severing and general skewering. Tristan is a bit wet though, you can't understand Isolde's infatuation with him (unless it's his fabulous hair) and honestly, she'd be better off with Rufus Sewell's king. Rufus Sewell is easily the best thing in the film, making you sympathise very much with him and not the star-crossed lovers.

 

High points: Good fighting scenes. Good hair.

Low points: Drippy romance.

 

A word of caution- if you've seen the trailer, you've virtually seen the film.

 

And the supposedly tragic ending had me laughing and branded a "soulless beast".

 

Dragged to see this without wanting to, this was Harrison Ford's latest effort.

 

Harrison plays a man whose family are kidnapped by evil Englishman Paul Bettany and held until Harrison robs the bank he is employed by for him. Obviously, however, he does not go along with his plans and decides to take matters into his own hands.

 

You know you're off to a bad start when Harrison Ford is playing the same character he has played in almost every film for the last 10 years, and when you spend your time wishing his family were being more poorly treated in the film.

 

Highlights: A Jesus song, and some very poor threatening behaviour from Paul Bettany involving knee breaking (or not).

Low points: The rest. Some shocking dialogue.
