Movie No. 35 (2014): WINTER'S TALE

Winter's Tale (2014)
Director: Akiva Goldsman
Cast: Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connely, William Hurt, Will Smith, Eva Marie Saint, Jessica Brown Findlay

I just learned that the movie is an adaptation of Mark Helprin's book. I didn't read the book so I'm not complaining about the way it's adapted. Overall, the movie is easy to like, if only for entertainment. The visuals, though not superbly stunning, are decent. And then the romance and fantasy ingredients are almost those of fairy tales'. But then, the narrative is all over the place. Like a fluid flow that's choked at some point or short circuited. Even the superb line of talents in cast doesn't quite save the movie from being a mild disaster.

Rating: 2.5/4.0
