Review of The Tempest

The Tempest (1998 TV Movie)
5/10
Personal through love and deep knowledge of Shakespeare.
7 November 2001
I felt the treatment - being set during the Civil War - was original and refreshing. Peter Fonda was, perhaps, a little bit bland as Prosper/o but still a workmanlike performance.

I was a bit disappointed that Gator Man, the Caliban figure, was portrayed as merely a 2D villain, not the somewhat self-pitying Frankenstein's-monster-type Shakespeare paints.
