Royal Deceit (1994)
3/10
Batman meets Queen Elizabeth meets Logan Roy (and even Gollum)
4 June 2023
When I started watching "Prince of Jutland" (aka "Royal Deceit"), I didn't know that it was based on the story that inspired "Hamlet". Well, the cast turns in fine performances, but the story has too narrow of a focus to give the viewer a true understanding of what went on. A real letdown after Gabriel Axel directed "Babette's Feast". We do get some impressive shots of the Danish countryside, though.

The cast includes Christian Bale, Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne, Kate Beckinsale, Brian Cox, Andy Serkis, Tom Wilkinson and Mark Williams. In other words, it stars Dick Cheney, Catherine the Great, a usual suspect, Selene, Hannibal Lecter, King Kong, Lyndon Johnson and Arthur Weasley (so that makes this a link between the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings franchises).
