The acting in this movie is really good.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I love this movie! It is my go to movie that I recommend to all my friends to watch. The settings and filming is stunning and a fantastic treat for the eyes. The music perfectly balanced and the story line is beautifully told. I can and have watched this film over and over again! The trailer for the film is enough to suck you in to watch more! You will thank me!

This film explores the best form of love expressed in rescue, loyalty, selflessness, and sacrifice. No surprise Director Kevin Reynolds was drawn to this as he was with Robin Hood and The Count of Monte Cristo. Leading this endeavor is James Franco (Tristan) who is magnificently restrained as he must bear conflicting loyalties and passion that stretch his inner soul like a medieval torture chamber. Likewise, Sophia Myles (Insolde), in a bizarre twist of fate, must navigate an unexpected and unbearable choice of love and loyalty. Without sounding schmaltzy, this really is sacrificial love at its finest presented by a cast a characters and a story line that is magnificently convincing.

Wow, i literally have no idea where to begin. First of, the cinematography was on par with a 2nd year film school assignment, flat, boring colors plagued this film from beginning to end. Now, i'll be honest, i'm beating around the bush here, there really is only one thing that truly, I mean TRULY, ruined this film for me: James FrancoI mean, what a ducking performance is this? Even second rate actors were acting in circles around this guy. Equpped with a part-English, part-Irish, part... something accent. He managed to get rid of any emotional reality this film had any chance of achieving.I guess the girl had a nice dress though.2/10

...Tristan. Sadly the plot was very predictable and that is due not so much for pre-knowledge of the text but more the glut of similarly themed films the past 10 years.Rufus Sewell is excellent as 'Mark' as was the villain Marc StrongI will say in an era of 'feminazis' it is good to see strong male roles and their character shown in times of stress which brings me to FrancoJames Franco sadly does not inspire acceptance as anyone who has 'experienced' life. It's not his fault but he looks more like one of the extras for those Ralph Lauren cologne ads shot on Long Island.Isolde was very believable and she acted like a strong but morally corrupted soul. Franco looks like his real skill is soap operas or as a stand in for Joseph Fiennes - a gigolo.
