Tristan + Isolde (2006)

Cast: James Franco (Tristan), Sophia Myles (Isolde), Rufus Sewell (Lord Marke)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Tristan + Isolde page.

I've wanted to see this movie since I saw the first preview, in spite of the fact that the preview was horribly done (it showed way too much of the story and has made me think going back to not watching previews again is a good idea). Although I had seen most of the details of how they would tell this version of a beautiful old story in the previews, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The story of star-crossed lovers was very well told.

Definitely a bit of a "chick flick," but I still think that many guys would appreciate it. There is a lot of fighting and (of course) a beautiful woman to watch during the story. Many guys enjoyed Braveheart and this is a very similar period piece.

Grade: B+
