Negative Positive
Title: Boring spectacle/dull romance.
Review: This is the fifth incarnation of this story (three have been produced within the last few years - the first two being truly dreadful animated films) and for the life of me I can't understand why film makers think this story so fascinating they have to cram endless versions into our gullets. Of the three live action versions this is the least satisfying. There is no tension between our protagonists - they get along famously from the start. We are subjected to two and a half hours of boredom amid lush photography and deservedly Academy Award nominated Art Direction and Costume Design. This is one where you go out humming the sets. Stick with the original Dunne/Harrison version of the classic R&H version with Kerr/Brynner.
