Tristan + Isolde

"We don't find a tale of transcendent passion but rather of two vain nitwits in a case of routine attraction."

"Handsomely produced and sporadically rousing..."

"I dub thee tolerable."

"A pleasantly unspectacular retelling."

"By removing the sorcery and operatic excess so synonymous with the story, the filmmakers conjure an affecting, pretty melodrama... with the emphasis more on mellow than drama."

"Unlike Franco's mop, no amount of teasing can keep this romance from falling flat."

"Pretty and rather dull."

"(Franco and Myles) generate a modicum of chemistry, despite being penned in by a clunky script."

"(The film) moves so sluggishly that someone must have been dosing the cast and crew with Nyquil."

"Strikes a good balance between action and romance..."
