Tristan and Isolde

[Kiwicee]

Who else here wants to see Tristan and Isolde? If you love the Notebook and Romeo and Juliet, you'll love this one. I can't wait to see it! Yeah it has love scenes, but I am waiting for screenit.com to post their reviews so I can see how bad they are before I go see it. Cause if there is a ton of bad stuff I won't go see it right away. But yeah who else has heard of it and wants to go see it?

I'm excited to see this movie..looks great!!!!!

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

I read the book, which I loved. But, the movie seems like it is going to have too many love scenes, so I'm not going to see it.

 

[ArmouredSaint]

It's PG-13 how erotic can it be?
I'm in line for this one!

 

[Freedom&Light]

PG-13 = R about 5 years ago. Ratings don't mean anything. I check out reviews on Plugged In or the US COnference of Catholic Bishops.

But back to the OP: I really want to see this movie! It looks great!

 

[Sabina41]

Absolutely cannot wait to see this. Probably gonna go on Wednesday.

Actually the rating R is for violence and more than 1 use of the "f" word. It could only have one "f" word and still be pg-13. R isn't for love scenes. A couple of my friends saw it and said it wasn't terribly bad, they did stuff, but it wasn't like "ahhhhh make em stop!" I usually look away, or if it's my movie I skip the scene. So love scenes do't bother me. But my friends said it was an awesome movie, so now I'm even more excited! I also can't wait to go see "End of the Spear" and "Glory Road."

 

[Stellar Vision]

im definitely looking forward to this one.

I don't watch movies that have any love scenes/make out/sex scenes. A kiss or hug is ok...but beyond that...nope....what's the point? Movies aren't that big of a deal that I have to watch them with those things in it.

We're on our way to see it now this afternoon

 

[Kiwicee]

Ooh, tell me how it is! I'm going on Friday. Our movies theater isn't open today. My friends and I were going to see it last night at midnight, but my friend that works there says they weren't doing any showings that late. However all my friends have said it was excellent!

I saw it Saturday night. I loved it.

I liked it quite a bit, some of the critics said it dragged.. I thought they actually skimped on parts of the story as opposed to it dragging. Quite violent .. lots of tribal warefare, swordfighting bloody messes here and there (that's info for the folks who think it's a chick flick LOL!) I wasn't too fond of the guy who played Tristan. It was enjoyable enough but there's not enough to make the viewer understand why the story of Tristan and Isolde has been fascinating enough to have survived 1000 years.

Incidentally, my brother's name is Tristan, so you'd think he'd be all over it. However, my brother is rather uppity and any movie that isn't about sports is just so beneath him.

He might actually enjoy all the cutting off of body parts and manly sword fighting LOL. My daughter's boyfriend has siblings names Tristan and Isolde (honestly it seems a bit odd to name brother and sister after legendary lovers )

Two words: Eww.

Oh no lol. That doesn't quite work out like one would expect.

I agree. I enjoyed it overall, it was a good popcorn flick. However, I thought the guy who played Tristan was kind of wooden/shallow. Also, for those who were worried about the sex scenes...there were several but nothing too explicit. I wished they would have spent a little more time developing the characters and their relationships rather than the time spent on skin-shots. I was rather disappointed at the end. I didn't feel the least bit like crying. I like crying at movies and this one should have had me sobbing. Oh well. It was fun.

I saw Tristan and Isolde tonight! I LOVED it!!!! It was long, but oh so good! And clean, one cuss word, the loves scenes weren't that bad, and the blood and gore wasn't disgusting. There was just enough of everything!

I didn't get hugely into the love story. How can you feel like they loved each other when you see practically no dialogue? All you really see is them show physical affection. I'm sure you can care someone with little dialogue and physical affection, but it's not nearly as deep as when you KNOW someone.
