Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Best movie ever!

Awesome Movie

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Excellent. But I found that I had to use the English subtitles on the DVD.Stands head & shoulders over the usual Hollywood pap that is pumped out.Shakespeare's critique of democracy? 'Pressure Group' politics shown. Confusion about who should Lead, be the CEO.Warfare scenes in early part of movie seemed very realistic - urban battles, house to house. Also, a group similar to the modern 'Occupy Wall Street' movement seems to be portrayed demanding bread & confronting the army of General Martius.Also, General Martius has an Arch-Enemy, the leader of a nearby terrorist nation, who threatens the modern 'Rome' of the 21st century .Kept my interest (thanks to the help of the subtitles) all the way. IF YOU WANT TO SEE GOOD ACTING, i.e., EXCELLENT ACTORS AT WORK, SEE THIS.SPOILER ALERT: Shakespeare's tragedy could have been called 'From Hero to- Enemy of Rome - to Zero'

at first sigh, translation of Shakespeare's play in contemporary formulas. in fact, high performances, fresh spirit of original, Rome in a credible and strange images who remands wars and crisis, politic errors and hypocrisy. a film who explores roots, solutions, emotions, fake options . a film about heroes and their failure. about contemporary politic life because the laws, tricks are the same. result - a kind of House of Cards. not very different essence. only forms who reminds art of theater, an ambiguous genius , actors who gives proofs of admirable manner to resurrect a text and its substance. a provocative film. because it is not exactly adaptation of a play on screen. but a provocative portrait of power, duty and force of fundamental decisions.

This movie is boring. Too much talk and old unused talk.I never really got why Shakespeare is so widely regarded. Seeing such a script put to modern times just really shows how pretentious it really is. This movie at no time seemed genuine or even normal. The movie took it self way too seriously.Shakespeare uses hundreds of words just to express something i could do in several. Im no expert but there is no beauty in the words or the way they form and half the time i wish the characters would just shut up.If you like poetry and Shakespeare then maybe you will like it, i do not know.Maybe someone one day will explain to me how to appreciate Shakespeare. Until then from the general exposure i have had, Shakespeare just sucks.

We have many great modern day adaptations of books or plays that have worked in changing the setting. I have to say that Coriolanus is not one of those. It is set in a modern day alternative Rome and tries to tell the tragic tale of Coriolanus while also keeping the Shakespearian dialogue.Not only is the dialogue a bit confusing, it just doesn't seem right when you see people holding out cell phones at the same time. I may be in the minority but nothing seemed to click with this film. Ralph Fiennes did a phenomenal job as the lead, but then again isn't he always good? Gerard Butler was fine but didn't seem to compliment Fiennes enough. The supporting cast is pretty good but besides Fiennes nobody seemed to stand out.I definitely appreciate the ambition that Fiennes brings considering the risk of a project like this, but I just didn't seem to enjoy all the risks taken. The film has several slow parts with a few cool fight scenes but it definitely drags. Perhaps ill attempt to read the play and then go back and re-watch the film to get a better understanding of why this story is so revered.+Fiennes +Ambitious directing...-...But the time line just doesn't fit with the dialogue -Drags -The rest of the cast didn't really stand out 5.2/10
