Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAll I can say, if this is the true story of Alfred the Great, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Penelope HoustonThere's a dejected feeling about this whole cinematic folly, as though somewhere along the way it had lost confidence even in its own anachronisms.
User Review - 10/10 by Mole MReally well done. Must watch. York and Hemings fantastic
User Review - 10/10 by David GAnother Brit movie that I have always enjoyed AND wish it would be released on DVD.
User Review - 4/10 by Grant SI am a fan of historic dramas but this one is pretty boring. OK as a history lesson but not great as a dramatic movie. Just drifts along from start to finish. Even the battle scenes are fairly dull. The cinematography could be better too - the picture was lacking in colour, clarity and resolution (though this may be a bad transfer to DVD).
