Movie Reviews of The Wyvern Mystery
Movie Review: Not so good...
Summary: 2 Stars
I was fairly disappointed in this movie. I love period dramas and British mysteries and I was hoping for a gothic treat. I also was interested in seeing Naomi Watts again since I enjoyed her performance in Painted Veil. I really wanted to like this movie but found the script sorely lacking and the performances mediocre. As a generic Hollywood offering, the piece was mildly entertaining but certainly not on par with other offerings in the genre. This DVD was suggested by Amazon based on my previous BBC purchases. Though the credits state that this film was "associated with BBC", I wouldn't recommend this for the average BBC viewer. It doesn't even come close to that level of quality. I would have felt less critical if I had picked this DVD up used at Blockbuster, but I was expecting much more based on the association with other high quality films. If you enjoy BBC films like Bleak House, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, The Black Heath Poisonings, Jane Eyre, Barchester Chronicles etc, then you may want to pass on this one.
