  1. The Director's Cut is quite good, especially when compared to the theatrical edit that rushes through the story at far too high a speed. Unfortunately, no amount of editing can save this movie from its bland and boring lead actor. Pity.

    I think Bloom did an adequate job. Not amazing, but passable. However the film is also has so much more going for it in its rich cast of supporting actors, vast scope of the story and those jawdropping visuals that I can easily overlook Bloom's shortcomings. And did I mention those visuals? Its definitely becomes more of an 'experience' movie.

    I've only seen the theatrical; Can't wait to find time to watch the DC someday

    When i saw this film (the theatrical edition), I thought it was the worst film I've ever seen in my life.

    I didn't see any point in this.

    The theatrical cut is indeed very rubbish. The DC is now one of my favorite Ridley films, up there with Alien and Blade Runner...and it gets better with every viewing. Admittedly I've developed sort of an interest in the Crusade ages over the years so that probably helped.

  2. I was quite surprised by the quality myself to be honest, and the narrator/interviewer seemed rather knowledagable about the topic.

    Who was you expecting, Bruno Brooks?

    I must admit I am not familiar with Coffey, or much of radio in particular. I was browsing for something to listen to at work and stumbled across that. Haha.

  3. Or put Cinderella Liberty and The Long Goodbye on there but not E.T.

    He makes arguments why those scores are effective in their respective films , fine, but it has nothing to do with Williams 10 best scores of all time IMO (definitely not music wise)

    The problem with cramming his list full of the usual suspects of Williams' greatest most people would agree with is that it neutralizes this sentence in his introduction.

    "there is more to Williams’ career than iconic theme music"

  4. Zimmer played his INCEPTION-suite at the Gent festival and i was surprised how good it was. Mind you, it's not a great composition (or MASTERPIECE, to beat the dead War Horse), but it's very memorable.

    I hated the music during my viewing, but I've since heard it used for all sorts of things from BBC wildlife commercials to Top Gear features and I have to confess... I kinda like it.

    its dramatic, well produced and rather generic at the same time. so yea...thats why it works in the manner the BBC likes to use it.

  5. They reckon it's impossible to concentrate on the main quest and I can well believe them - every turn reveals a new dusty footpath, an intriguing cave, a rusty door to a long abandoned crypt. Resistence is futile.

    Funnily enough I was talking with a mate about it over Live last night: I don't think I'll ever finish this game, but I will absolutely soak up the experience nonetheless. It's one of those game's you can literally play forever.

    I don't think you can finish it per se. Once you've done all the handmade quest, the random quest generator kicks in. So techincally u have infinite quests.
