I think the idea of the movie is good and they did a great job recreating the same characters again. But...
the story was very poorly executed in my opinion. There are so many subplots that fall VERY short in the grand scheme of things.
There is this "Stealing"-subplot which leads to a dress being fixed. It was way underdeveloped I think.
Then there's the "Andy-Daisy"-subplot which was totally forced and useless aswell.
Theeen there's the "Kill-the-king" subplot which was so ridiculously underdeveloped and VERY VERY predictable...
There are a couple other of that sort so thats a real minus for me for this movie.
But the set, the directing, the costumes and the characters were really well done.
And the best part was Maggie Smith, as she was in the show. She's just awesome.
