I watched this because the high rating but quickly found it was a stacked deck. They used every trick in the book to make it look bigger, such as using artistic drawings for the cut scenes, but I still think they made the complete movie with just 4 sets. It doesn't matter because the acting matched the sets, small and uninspired. Finally, the script. It was horrible, just horrible. Do not watch this, ever, find an old movie and be happy.

The director and writer spent a lot of free time trying to come up with artistic tricks but there is a line when it just becomes weird and they cause the story to stall. When the main character begins his big quest for the Green Night it really falls apart. I usually like this type of movie, something a little bit off but this just made no sense. One detour after another, they made zero sense. Then they didn't give you any clues so you could connect a few dots. They have a fox that is semi explained but more questions are created than solved. The ending is even worse.

If you were a fan of the other versions, ie... Sean Connery's, or the stuff from the 40's and 50's, forget it.

If you want to watch something that leaves you full of questions (or known as the "WTF ending"), or you're into being unfulfilled, here you go.

The visuals were nice, and the costumes were well done. The actors committed to the roles so it was well acted. They must have found actors with a recent death in the family to keep the depressing vibe going. The accents kinda matched, but that was the only pluses I found.
