Love Kenneth Branagh and all that, always impressed when a movie rounds up Dame Judi, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp and…Josh Gad for the cast. Derek Jacobi, Branagh’s Hector Elizondo, is here.

But this looks like a lush TV movie, an HBO Original with great cinematography. If this isn’t the most exhausted, dated source material of the fall film season, why did they try to hip it up with Imagine Dragons on the soundtrack?
