Well that was one where I looked back at ...Robert:<br /><br />Well that was one where I looked back at my rating and said wait why? Could not give myself and answer. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Blanchett - (Nice bit of classic deviousness from her she plays it up just enough without going overboard, and her whole style is fits perfectly with the tone of the film. Plus to her credit she manages a bit of depth and pathos in there to that in no way alleviates the horrible qualities of her character, but does grant her a bit more depth)<br /><br />Michael:<br /><br />Gorevoy - 3.5(Actually really liked him the first time I watched the film as well, but did not stalk down his name. He offers such a deviousness in all of his behavior as everything he says seems slightly false yet always has this certain incisiveness. I particularly love the odd calm in his delivery when he basically lets Donovan know that he had his coat stolen)<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Cinderella wasn't anything too notable but I thought it completely worked as a fairly straight forward telling of the story. It looked pretty and was appropriately pleasant. I certainly liked it more than I expected to. <br /><br />James - 3(She's appropriately likable and charming in the role. There's not much asked from her but I thought she fit exactly into the tone of the film)<br /><br />Madden - 3(Get an extra bit of good feelings if you've seen Game of Thrones first. Madden though is nicely charming and felt he was genuinely moving in his scenes with Jacobi)<br /><br />Jacobi - 3(Always should stick with Branagh I suppose. Again he fulfills what he needs to do, and adds a bit more in his scenes with Madden)<br /><br />Carter - 2(Not much was asked for her, but I thought she over did it all)<br /><br />Up to a 4.5.<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Noted. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />They did a terrible job at explaining shorting, wait a second they never bothered to. He got what he wanted. The film, despite the condescending "we'll talk slow" tone, actually made some things seem more complicated then they were.
