I liked it, but I can't call it "lovely" considering their Hollywood ending. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/05/2012 10:29:05 PM
It is lovely. And you left out Rhys Ifans, who is absolutely wonderful as Dobbin.

It was a total cop-out - for that matter, it wasn't the only place where they chickened out of representing Becky quite as she was in the novel. I can sort of see why they did it - a movie with the same cynical tone as the novel would never have worked, not even for a niche audience - but still.

I don't really know Rhys Ifans much, so he wasn't a factor in my impulse buy of the DVD based on the joint presence of Garai, Purefoy and Broadbent, but yeah, he did a pretty good job as well. And while I haven't liked Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in anything other than Bend It Like Beckham, because he always has that arrogant sneer, I have to admit he fit George Osborne rather well, that way...
