Negative Positive
Title: What's the big deal about this mediocre movie?
Review: Even granting this movie some artistic licence and forgiving gross historical inaccuracies, it raises not an eyebrow. Joseph Fiennes performed very poorly while Cate Blanchett did the best she could with a bland and uninvolving script. Geoffrey Rush did provide some welcome relief, but not enough to salvage this passionless (in every aspect of the movie) twaddle.
