Tristan and Isolde

Not only am I a sucker for cheesy movies, but I'm also a die-hard anything-that-resembles-The-Notebook fan. In my opinion Tristan and Isolde was nowhere near cheesy or predictable, but was definitely up there with my favoirte chick flicks (to use the cliche term) like The Notebook, Ever After, and Love Actually. By using battle scenes to complement the dealings of Tristan and Isolde, the overall movie wasn't overpowered by too much a good thing, i.e. romantic musings towards one another and forbidden love affairs in the forest. The landscapes were beautiful, the music harmonized perfectly with various scenes, and the use of the historic time period added to the believability of the plot. Some may say that it was your typical girly movie; however, I believe that Tristan and Isolde blended very well different aspects appealing to males and females. My favorite aspect of the film was the foreshadowing used throughout to hint at upcoming suspenseful scenes. Overall--I want my own Tristan. (P.S. you can have your very own if you visit the trailer website!)
