    on Morning_star's advice i went back for another look (it's cheap on mondays, see). having had my expectations dashed on the first showing i wasn't expecting a loth and i have to say it was much better as a result.

    there are still a couple of sections that need cutting out, and christopher walken still phones it in as emperor, but otherwise i enjoyed it much more than when i first saw it. fabulous visuals, fabulous sound and for some reason the plot stumbled along a lot better than on the first showing.

    so thank you Morning_star!

    • You're very welcome. A second viewing is definitely the key.Morning_star
    • Walken and Pugh were disappointing. An empire of excesses, they should have raised the bar in some way.i_monk
    • To hear that Pugh was disappointing hurts a bit. Normally, she's a first-rate scene stealer.Continuity
    • Definitely think walken is the weakest part of it. They needed some one with more menace/gravitas.thumb_screws
    • +1 Pugh and Walken didn't belong in this onegrafician
    • ^ why not try Sienna Miller and Russell Crowe?grafician
    • I think Pugh was good but Walken definitly didnt fit in there, his playing and caracter doesnt work.HAL9001
    • interview said Pugh will have more to do next movie. like how zendaya was barely in the first movie.pango
    • Reckon a Gary Oldman, Hugo Weaving or Jeremy Irons would of worked better. I thought Pugh was ok.thumb_screws
    • She was nondescript compared to Lady Fenring.i_monk
