Doctor Jekyll (2023). 1h 30m

“The traditional story of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde given a modern spin, starting Eddie Izzard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was really excited about seeing it, and keen to see what Izzard was going to inject into the role. The result, was sadly underwhelming. I liked the start, but it just became dull and a little boring at times, I didnu0026#39;t care for the ending.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought the cinema would have been packed out for this on the opening weekend, there were four of us, that should have been enough.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was really hoping for a dark, gothic horror, what it turned out to be was a fairly lame comedy, with horror elements here and there. I didnu0026#39;t care much for Izzardu0026#39;s character, just irritating more than anything.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was hard at times to work out which was Jekyll and which was Hyde, they could have gone a lot further.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActing wise, Izzard was alright, I canu0026#39;t say there was anything particularly good, the quality I thought, came from Lindsay Duncan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatchable enough, but very disappointed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e5/10.”
