The sixties roller coaster ride continues with A Man For All Seasons. As a play, it would be quite good but as a movie it misses the mark. The film is dull and is disjointed in a lot of places. Characters appear and disappear and then reappear a lot later without filling in the blanks. The movie is also very slow.

Joel

Favorite: I liked Robert Shaw as Henry VIII. He did an excellent job portraying an insane monarch. 

Least Favorite: I knew that I was supposed to root for Thomas but I couldn't bring myself to do it. He was righteous but he was so pious that it hurt the effectiveness of the character.

Callie

Favorite: The story line was intriguing. It emphasized integrity and honor.

Least Favorite: The acting was bad and every decision the director made made the movie worse.
