I cannot find many flaws with this movie, however, that does not mean that I enjoyed it.
The direction is fine (though unspectacular), the acting is likewise acceptable (though by no means great) and the score is stirring. The one flaw that cripples the picture is the plot. I couldn't tell you what secret ingredient is missing but I had a profound sense of apathy the entire film through. I did not care whether the star-crossed lovers ended up together nor did I care for the fate of Britain's throne. Perhaps a better set of actors could have brought the story to life. As it was, the story lacked a certain spark. Thus, watching it quickly became a tiresome experience.
Perhaps some more mellow viewers will appreciate the film but I took it to be a rather lifeless exercise.
