Immortalised cinema
Its rare to see a film that IMO delivers on so many fronts:
- cinematography - gorgeous and intelligent
- screenplay is superb.. humorous and intelligent
- story, I really enjoyed the mix of contempory, history and fantasy. Expertly wielded together
- soundtrack - Queen kick ass
- acting - there has been criticsm over the acting. But Christopher Lampert's steely look and strange accent is perfect for the lead. Connery brings along his usual charismatic self and Clancy Brown ( highly underated actor) bring authenticity,menace and intelligence to his character. Given the premise of the film (immortality) mediocre acting could have destroyed this film .. but the cast are superb.
Having said all that the film has some faults.. some dated special ef...
The best out of 4
Without any doubt the best and original out of the 4 films.
Good and light to watch with plenty of action.
