Query: Disappointed ~ Rufus Sewall is the only Exception

Boring, contrived, predictable and over-dressed for the poor writing. Romantic?? 'Getting it on' love scenes do not equate to romance. There is no subtle tension, no evolution, no surprise, and no chemistry whatsoever between Tristan and Isolde. They were not believeable or interesting together for one moment. I thought there was much more of a touch of romance and chemistry between Isolde and Lord Marc. I had to fast forward thru the over-gory fight scenes as I think much of the graphic violence serves as filler to make up for uninteresting dialogue and plot. I do not like the vacant, boyish, brooding Tristan; wrong casting choice there. The Isolde actor is unremarkable paired up with him. There is some good photography, but it does not compensate for the unengaging story. My one good comment is Rufus Sewall is very good; every scene he is in is a momentary relief from it's dullness.
