I almost walked out halfway through. My gut was telling me that nothing of real interest was going to happen in this movie. My gut was right.
Still I stayed. The most interesting thing I could find was Tilda Swinton's fine bones and swirling costumes. Was the scenery gorgeous? Well, I live in San Diego and I was not impressed.
Were the characters compelling? Not Adam and Eve in the Garden but the snake, aka Ralph Fiennes, had his moments. Yes the performance was bravura but for me it was de trop and at times I wished I could step into the frame and hit him on the head with a large hammer.
The nymphet sulked prettily in corners and had her moment in the sun (fully exposed like all of these actors). I honestly believe all the director cared about was watching people have sex and more sex.
After Eden had become a snake pit, a bad thing happened. The very thing we knew from the beginning would happen. Ho hum.
That critics could find this movie enthralling, suspenseful and amazing is a mystery to me. Maybe they just like watching people have sex.
