this 2 . 5 hour dilute snore fest appear to be one of the poor excuse for an adaptation and ever . clearly possess a budget allow for breathtaking location shoot in greece and the monies might have be well spent work out a cohesive script with character development and motivation clearly outline while especially since bill have go through the trouble of do this already . the portrayal lack passion and direction and leave the viewer debate whether they should bother to care about the demise of the protagonist at all . which bring out another point the main character of the original work and prospero and be not so name in this rendition despite the fact that most other character name be use . enchantment and magic be also markedly absent from this particular piece . in fact and all aspect that make the stage version of the tempest full of wonder and intrigue have be suck completely from this convolute version about a self absorb and pompous arse who can not figure out how to care about anything beyond the blur of his wealth and power . over all and a lackluster effort at best and a brutally poor imitation of the intended inspiration .
