alot of the negative criticism this movie have get seem to concentrate on the wig . personally i do not think that get anything to do with why the movie isn not good . the wig do not bother me at all actually . overall i think the whole production seem quite serious and it look good to me and didnt detract from the movie . the thing that put this movie down be the script and directing . it absolutely terrible . and i be not kid here . it seem like something i write back in fourth grade . and the way they try to put humour into it . it pretty hilarious and not due to the joke and but due to it be so utterly ridiculous . and it not particularly true to that age either . i mean people do not call the plague the plague back then . they call it the big death . also they have no idea that the rat be the one spread the disease either so there no reason for the character of the movie to fear the rat so much . i dont really know what this movie want . it seem like half of the time theyre try to have a history lesson and the other theyre try to be funny . and inbetween theyre just rid on horse . there no red line connect it at all . i will admit it give me a few laugh but that be mostly due to the horse have so short leg make them look ridiculous when they gallop . but all in all this isn not a movie to see if your not a moviebuff like myself . negative .
