One last movie review
The Eagle
Insta-reaction
*facepalm* I really really shouldn't watch the movies of books I like. The Bad? Mohican Picts. Channing's accent. Unnecessary children killing. Deserters returning to fight.
The Good? Esca.That jaw! Those eyes! *swoon*
Review after some thought and sleep
If I had not read the book, known the book or even vaguely remembered the book, I think I would have liked the movie more. It was beautifully shot. The scenery and landscapes and lighting - just beautiful. And I liked all the Gaelic. Not historically accurate using Gaelic, but it was lovely to hear.
The plot in and of itself (not comparing it to the book) was Ok. I liked the switch in places between Esca and Marcus and their continuing friendship.
Ah, Esca. Jamie. Ah.
