Nice, but in that swoony romantic drama kind of way. The script/acting/cinematography weren't anything to write home about but it was a pleasant enough tear jerker kind of thing (if thats possible)

kind of a charming movie.

Not bad if you're romantic type, I guess. Average acting at best with some real bad ones such as H. Cavill, who pretty much sucks wherever I have misfortune to see him. I couldn't find neither anything terribly wrong nor awesome with this movie. I was also expecting more 'medieval' phrases than just 'yearn' and few lines of poetry.

"...one of those rare cinematic experiences that feels whole, that feels authentic."

Flawed but decent medieval epic that looks nice. Sewell, Franco, and especially Sophia Myles, are all good.

Nice and entertaining.

One of the best romantic medieval love story I've seen in long time. Suitable for a girlfriend and his boyfriend as well. Story mixes Romeo and Juliet as well as A Little Mermaid themes nicely. Maybe a bit longish. Sophia Myles and Bronagh Gallagher were good choises on their roles.

Tristan & Isolde isn't an epic action film set in the 5th century, but it is a solid romance film with betrayal, suspense and some thrills. It keeps the audience involved, which will allow you to overlook some of its flaws, like how the characters' actions don't make logical sense, or how easily all of the drama could have been avoided altogether. You get caught up in the story, and while it isn't a great film, you could do a whole lot worse.

Ignoring the many changes to the plot, which is fine as artistic liberty, I found this one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a very long time. Nearly every sentence has such a resonance that gives it the quality of a classic and timeless quote. However it loses minimal marks for including the poetry(although the best) of Donne and Shakespeare in what I assumed to be the 12th century and the fact that the characters sometimes seem to change their priorities, but that makes the story.
