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.

Sorry :( I half expected it too - and was sad to be proved right. But it happens with books and movies. Alas.
