. when we all know and no one do it like the bbc . be an avid fan of this sort of sunday night watching and i be quite look forward to this . how disappointed be i. in the first thirty second i do not think it be look promising and after two minute i be find it hard to watch . however me and my friend persist only to find bad acting and a complete misunderstanding of half of the character . the plot be hurry to the extreme and the make up and costume gaudy and very 21st century in a bbc robin hood style . this modern style may have be able to be place within sharp camera angle and visually sumptuous cinematography but unfortunately we get neither . the direction felt decidedly sloppy for both act and shot choice . after 30 min we couldn not bare to watch it and go out and rent the prestige ( which be very good btw ) maybe it be unfair that i judge this a i have watch so little of this and but rarely have i felt so compel to warn people not to watch something . however and me and my friend do think that the house and parasol be pretty but thats as good a it get .
