The summery says;
'An archaeologist embarks on the historically important excavation of Sutton Hoo in 1938.'
And for the first half of the movie, this is true. And it's exciting. And well acted.
But when they introduce Lily James,Peggy Piggott, the story changes. And as of now I still don't know to what. I like Lily James. I was excited to see her pop up because I didn't realize she was in it. But I still can't find a reason for her character. Other then, she was lonely? I was watching a movie about excavating, and then I wasn't. Very weird. Her story arc had no bearing on, well, the story. Then to find out, the character she fools around with is fictional. What? So now we know. Someone wanted her in it, so they made up a story line. With a guy going to war. Except, he wasn't real. So now I'm doubly sure her character was disposable.
For those who didn't see two different movies like me. I envy you. If they kept on track with the two main characters, Basil Brown and Edith Pretty, I just know I would have given it ten stars. But sadly, seeing a pretty face that has no purpose, well, has no purpose.
Oh wait, she did find a little ring or something. SMH.
