Alfred the Great (I) (1969)
3/10
ALFRED THE GREAT (DIDIER BECU)
29 February 2004
One of the most underrated actors of all time must be David Hemmings but sadly enough he will be immortal for his rol in "Blow up" and it also will be the role that will have chased him throughout his whole career. Sad to see that Hemmings appeared in very weak movies, like "Alfred the great" for instance. We go back to the 9th century at where East Anglia is overwhelmed by the cruel Danes and the help from Alfred (brother of the king who wanted to be a priest). Alfred the Great had his own methods to free his country and what could have been interesting has been completely destroyed as it's too boring (there is strong link to Hamlet's Shakespeare here, and we just saw it too much) or it is just too much of a silly actionmovie (the battles are so long that you tend to fall asleep). I really don't give a damn about this annoying movie that just seems to me like a Robin Hood-movie without a budget.
