...all the vice was so damned cheerless.
The real John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, although he was every bit as dissolute as the film's title character, had something vital that both the screenplay and this film sorely lacked - wit. 2 hours of gorgeous debauchery was not enough to sustain The Libertine for me, not even with Depp in superb form. I confess to disappointed.
I recommend 1995's Restoration as a romp for respite.

It was somewhat of a wrist slasher being a mirthless testament to a Brit semi-Sade . . . - mr grits 21:01:25 03/14/06 (0)
His martial third base drove an older couple right out of the theatre . . and you know how early on that was! There was no cheer, plus Malkovich's Chuck 2 was no giggle either.
