Title: Burton's great but a travesty about Wagner
Review: Burton is magnificent as Wagner. He should have won an award - not for his portrayal but for his being able to keep a straight face speaking this purple prose, drivel of a script. Anyone who thinks this is about Wagner needs to read a biography or gain some taste. The script is a horrible mess of incredibly bad writing. The music is good even though it is "conducted" by Solti, a grossly over-rated conductor who was good in the big, splashy moments but totally lost otherwise. Enjoy Burton but don't take this as a biography of Wagner.
