A beautiful, exciting, and heart wrenching tale of impossible love, 14 January 2006
10/10
Author: Natalie Williams-Munger from United States

Beautiful, full of emotion and moving. The characters are portrayed skillfully and are completely believable. No one is overdone at all. The love between Tristan and Isolde is so powerful and yet so heartbreaking and you feel for them, but it is impossible not to feel bad for the King who is deeply in love with Isolde as well. Watching as their love grows but their obstacles grow larger is heart wrenching. It also has great battle scenes, just violent enough without going for the gross-out factor. And it's not without humor, there are definitely some moments that make you laugh. Overall, it is one of the best romantic historical movies I have seen in a very long time. This movie is sure to make the entire female population fall in love with James Franco, and it's story is unforgettable.
