Becoming Jane, a review by Antares

Becoming Jane (2007) 64/100 - While this was a beautifully shot film, it really didn't do much for me. Maybe it was the fact that Anne Hathaway seemed ill suited for the role, or it just came across as too modern an approach to telling a story that should have been much more prim. I found it very predictable and never really became invested in either of the two lead characters or their romance. I guess if you are into Miss Austen's novels, then this could be a delightful diversion. The DVD box mentioned that it was made by the producers of Shakespeare in Love, and a few times while I was watching, I felt like they were were trying to make a Georgian version, but lacking the wit of that film.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

My Thoughts:

I've seen this a few times befoire, and anyone who knows me on here knows I'm all about the supers! I still can't help but feel that if there's a Catwoman, then there should be a Batman. That didn't stop me from liking this. There is just something udescribable about this movie. I guess I just love the idea of total freedom......that and evil make-up. I never did goop up my face like that.

An average episode with its moments. Though Willow with her withdrawal symptoms gets on my nerve.

Okay, but nothing which really stands out for me. The Geek trio are getting themselves deeper into the "dark side" then they would have like (at least Andrew and Jonathan).
