This story is probably one of the most beautiful ever told. It has a good cast and beautiful location. But, it seems to come up short. The story line seems to move to quickly and it doesn't spend enough time convincing the viewer about the undying passionate love Tristan and Isolde have for each other. As well as James Franco doesn't seem to be enough of a heart throb to play Tristan. After watching Isolde and King Marke together, it almost made me wish it was a love story on them and not Tristan. Rufus Sewell does a great job as King Marke, a little too good. As he clearly is a scene stealer, and becomes the hunk in the movie. This movie had great potential, but the directing and screenplay left me a bit disappointed. It is however still worth watching.
