The Queen

[trackside528]

Just watched it last night after hearing so much about it, and I must say I was dissapointed..

Not the worst film I've ever seen by any means (there was some very decent acting no doubt), but I just found it very dull and almost dozed off at some points (anytime I saw the Queen Mother especially)..

This isn't a dig at the Royal Family BTW (I've thought at times the queen has been in our midst on this forum!- no names btw norty ), just at the film..

I thought it was last year's best comedy.

 

[Merlin the Magician]

I would rather listen to Freddie Mercury .......personally speaking......they would have to pay me to watch such shite as this............. so a big NO NO.....that's my verdict........

 

[Desperate Dan]

How could you make such a boring subject anything but, er, boring?
Cue our Daily Mail readers

 

[trackside528]

I see I am not alone then..

I'm really not that interested in the Royal Family (okay, maybe that's a stretch..), but even so, I thought the film was rather unimpressive given everything I had heard..

I would be interested to hear the verdict of one more interested in all things Royal than myself..

However, as a personal rule I try not to speak to anyone who reads the Daily Mail (more to do with principles than anything else really).. hope that doesn't rule too many out..

Have to agree. Suckered into renting it because of all the Oscar nominations but found it very disappointing.

I thought it was pretty good - without being especially memorable. 6/10

I would eat this film before watching it

 

[Harbinger]

Why?

 

[ovverbruv]

1 - It looks incredibly dull

2 - Anything that has Princess "i'm a slutty freeloader" Diana in it offends me by exisiting, unless it is the tv show/newspaper artice I have been waiting for which exposes her as a useless and annoying waste of taxpayers money.

 

[Harbinger]

The irony is that, given your opinion of Diana, you'd probably enjoy it.

I put this film on my Lovefilm list, looks like I'll be taking it off again!

 

[Aldaniti]

Completely off topic but, I remember reading a long time ago that there was to be a sequel to the film Gladiator, Did it/is it ever happen/happening?

 

[Harbinger]

Dead in the water, as far as I know.

 

[trackside528]

Have to agree that it I did find it very dull..

I also thought that the Queen's husband Philip (is he a prince then?) came across as a pretentious prick..

 

[Harbinger]

Well, he is a God:

Helen Mirren was ace but the film itself was pretty dull.
