Review of Black Death (2010) by Arianeta L — 09 Oct 2011

I'm not gonna say what happens, but I have to begin with the ending. The ending that is almost too good for the movie. This may sound crazy, but that's what I felt while watching it. The movie moves along in a nice pace, but the ending is really good.

And does not fit into the rest of the movie. It feels like another part, that just got thrown into the mix, but has not properly infused itself with the gene of the rest of its parts. And I'm not talking twists here or story development.

While the movie itself never felt as anything special, just another story, the ending itself would have earned a higher score. Up to that point the actors are trying their best with a thin story, that seems very predictable (I actually saw one development, revealed at the end of the movie, coming a long time before it was shown on screen, though that did not take anything away from its impact in the end).

There is another story lying behind that ending, that might be even more interesting or could have been laid better throughout the movie (at least) ... but maybe I am bit too harsh. You decide for yourself .
