The best part of sitting through this movie was Timothy Dalton. The worst part was the character he played.
"The King's Whore" could have been a great movie. It had a lot of good things going for it, but somewhere along the way it got boring. The characters even seemed to get bored and quit trying to carry the script. Or maybe the script just went on too long. Either way, the movie didn't end. It just quit.
*May Contain Spoilers*
The beginning of the movie was very good. We meet Jean and Charles, the man she marries, and see her meet the king, and the king becoming obsessed with her. She tries to avoid him, to no avail.
The king was so obsessed by Jean that he let everything else go, and ends up committing suicide. Jean loses her husband and son, even though the only reason she became the king's mistress was to keep the family in good graces. She ends up alone.
The middle of the movie is simply silly.
The only redeeming thing in the whole movie is Timothy Dalton in costume. Too bad the character he plays is so lame.
