The British Are Coming, For DIANA!

So the Brits have spoken on the new Diana biopic starring Naomi Watts and it's not good

                               
Diana is a biopic about the love affair between the Princess of Wales (Naomi Watts) and heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews). The drama, which is directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, covers the last two years of Diana's life, before her death in a car crash in Paris  

This is some reviews from British press     

 The Mirror's David Edwards described the film as "a cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee"He awarded the film one star out of five.        

 Christopher Tookey's one-star review in the Daily Mail brands the film as "terribly, terribly dull".

Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw writes "I hesitate to use the term 'car crash drama', "But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death."


Wow! I know they hated Mary Poppins but this is crazy. I'm thinking that it most likely has to be script related or maybe Naomi Watts(an Aussie) portrayal .But for whatever reason, what i watched in the trailer was amazing. From someone who knew who she was to the world and all the turmoil with the royal family, this movie gives another side i knew nothing about

 I think the good thing about the film is it seems to shy away from the typical general Royal Family Drama and focuses more on her life after it and her transition into Dodi Fayed and her untimely death. I think the American critics will eat it up because of Naomi watts performance. after her stellar performance in last year's The Impossible( which was amazing, She would've won if not for J Law) I'm sure she will once again grace the Oscars and hopefully Win!

But time will tell.It opens in Theaters in the U.S Nov 1st  P.S check out The trailer!
