Description

From executive producer Ridley Scott comes a sweeping, action-packed saga of epic battles, political intrigue and forbidden passion, set in a time when the lines between heroism and savagery were etched in fire and carved out with broadswords. After the fall of Rome, visionary warlord Marke (Rufus Sewell) seeks to unite the squabbling English tribes to form one strong nation and defeat brutal Irish King Donnchadh. But when Lord Marke's greatest and most loyal knight, Tristan (James Franco), falls in love with Isolde (Sophia Myles), a beautiful Irish woman, it threatens to destroy the fragile truce and ignite a war. In the spirit of Braveheart and A Knight's Tale, Tristan and Isolde is a rousing tale of trust and treachery that will leave you breathless!

    I remember this film getting lukewarm reviews. Sometimes critics get it all wrong. This is a stunningly beautiful and romantic film. Franco and Myles are heartbreakingly good. Sewell is magnificent. The settings are gorgeous and the battle scenes are thrilling. Forget the critics, don't miss this one. It's proof that they can still make beautiful epic films like they used to.

    This movie is perfect if you are looking for a great love story. I got it on my genius list. I've heard the story before but did not know there was a movie based on it. The acting was very good. Their love was very moving. Bravo. Very pleased.

    I hate writing reviews but i could not help but write one for this fantastic film!!!! This movie was just simply amazing!!!! The chemistry was great, plot was original(seeing as how it's the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet), and the action believable. Screw what those "rotten" critics think. This movie is worth your time and money. You'll be thinking about it several weeks after watching.

    This is a captivating story but a missed opportunity. There was great production design and beautiful location, however enthusiasm was misguided. The film didn’t focus enough on the lovers. Many of the political scenes were vague and difficult to understand. These should have been cut. The true story is about Tristan and Isolde. More moments could have been placed in the relationship, not on the politics. Currently the movie lacks a sense of focus. It seems on one hand trying to be a love story and the other a warfare movie. It needs to be mostly one and a little bit the other. The actors were decent but understated. I can only hope that future renditions of this story will go deeper into the relationship of Tristan and Isolde.

    This was one of the few movies that had the power to make me cry. Their love was forbidden (lot like Romeo & Juliet) but it ended with him dying to protect her and his family. He cheated death once but couldn't again...so sad 😭
