Eva is <i>great</i> in it. It was never going to overcome Jamie Campbell Bower as Arthur though--it was pretty much doomed from the moment that call was made.cinemarchaeologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507603255666191405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585323794423400780.post-42530516114728907282015-02-28T20:56:53.499-05:002015-02-28T20:56:53.499-05:00I have the first season of that series on Showtime...I have the first season of that series on Showtime I still haven't watched yet.

He likes to work with a gang of regulars and that's fine, but she shouldn't be cast in a part like that. It was really weird in the first movie and it's even more weird in this one.<br /><br />Eva is definitely the high point of this one. I've been a fan since THE DREAMERS and knew she'd be a winner in that part as soon as I heard she'd been cast. She's a remarkable screen presence and often seems to end up the bright spot in otherwise lesser films. She was the only thing of note in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, a wretched turd of a movie; its creators displayed the same judgment as they had in the rest of the film by eliminating most of her part from the theatrical release (you have to find the director's cut to see it). She was the high point of CAMELOT (though it had a few other items of interest). I saw her in the sequel to 300 a few months ago. It was terrible but she had a great part and was great in it. I'd definitely like to see her in more of these great parts that were in great <i>movies</i> for a change.cinemarchaeologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507603255666191405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585323794423400780.post-3049773536193408982015-02-25T20:27:56.509-05:002015-02-25T20:27:56.509-05:00Thanks.

Eva Green quite frankly has a lot to do with that; J G-L and Powers' story also was quite a highlight, I also thought. I wish Alba would just keep herself out of movies like these because she just doesn't have the same willingness to go all the way as Green does.crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669900632326853467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585323794423400780.post-15807896839982531782015-02-25T17:40:05.050-05:002015-02-25T17:40:05.050-05:00I just commented in TJ's too.
