Review of The Last Emperor (1987) by Lord N — 05 May 2010
Well, it's Oscar bait for sure. Oscar bait that was grabbed hook line and sinker. it went 9 for 9. a decent amount of those it totally deserved. It was an absolutely visually stunning film. Like Avatar though, I feel that it had little else to offer.
It was an entertaining film at points but I felt that it was overly long and that made me just want the movie to be over. I liked Peter O Toole in it. He is just great in everything he does. I felt that the film had something to say but it took too long to say it.
I felt that they could have cut out some parts and the film would have been just as good. Final Verdict: Mistake. It's overly long plot makes it boring at many points and Its visuals can't save it.
Replacement Winner: Hope and Glory. man that film is amazing. it is absolutely hilarious.
