I love this movie so much

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Really fun, really different movie, which is exactly my favorite kind.Excellent acting, excellent costumes, excellent plot, excellent action, excellent production values, and, for a change, it looks like everybody a few hundred years ago was not taking two long hot showers everyday. I honestly hardly noticed the big music thing in this movie that so many people comment on--I guess it was another thing that was really different, but the techno music worked well for me, so I really didn't dwell on it. I have no issues with that sort of poetic license if it fits well into the story, even if it's totally historically inappropriate.Overall, it's strange in a lot of ways, but it's very good entertainment.

This was marketed as " A historical action comedy featuring highwaymen " so right away the production team are painting themselves in to a corner by trying to make a film that dares to be a little bit different but at the same time if they don't pull it off then they're going to end up risking a movie that is going to be a big bad mess Right away when the opening credits have finished we're shown the visual style of director Jake Scott the son of Ridley and whatever skills Riley Scott has it doesn't seem to be running in the family . Scott Jnr has a footing in musical videos and his use of very quick editing gave me the impression I was watching a film by Michael Bay . Very soon I was expecting something to turn in to a giant robot or some American pretty boy scream " Get me in to a god damn stagecoach " . I don't know if it's because I watched this movie on television but half the time when an action sequence happened the elliptical editing meant it was difficult to make out what was happening , but before long I stopped caring what was happening on screen When this was released in 1999 Robert Carlyle was just about the coolest actor in Britain as well as one of the most prolific . The problem was at this stage he was concentrating on quantity rather quality and his performance as a southern geezer is rather dreadful with his mockney accent which is even more annoying than David Tennant's one in DOCTOR WHO . Note to directors - stop hiring Scottish actors playing Londoners . Oh and if you're hiring directors to make historical action adventures make sure you get the right one with a surname of Scott

Sorry this was a woeful excuse for a film.. a plot line so holey it resembled a block of swiss cheese and a butch of characters who seemed to me to be utterly devoid of inter-personal relations.. Well except of course for Carlyle and Lee-Miller who i could have sworn were meant to be in love.. Unlike the union of Tyler and Miller who were for the most part, like the rest of the film, utterly unconvincing.. although the end product was uncaptivating and amusing for all the wrong reasons, the production values were high and deserve some acknowledgement..but unfortunately the end result was rubbish..what was everyone involved thinking..? they definitely should have packed up early on this one..

Usually, I like silly movies. "Plunkett & Macleane", however, is beyond silly; it falls into the range of absurd. The movie portrays two rogues (Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle) stealing from the rich and keeping the spoils until one falls for an aristocrat woman (Liv Tyler), throwing their plans into flux. I guess that maybe I'm not being fair to Carlyle (and to the UK film industry in general): after a film as great as "The Full Monty", I expect very high quality from Carlyle, and we can't always guarantee the best.Still, I will say that if you seek a purely entertaining flick, you might want to check this one out. While never reaching a laugh-out-loud level, it does elicit some humor. The main issue is that I've seen much better movies (especially from England), and so I would never recommend this one above most others. OK in a pinch, if there's nothing else to see.
