Yep, it's nothing like the real TEL, but you have to see it as a work on it's own merits, it's true they don't make films like that anymore, too many things made by committee this day, maybe only Jackson comes close when you think personal vision by director.

I loved the Lion in Winter and Becket (with Richard my other face actor) but I adore him in Ratatouille, he voiced Anton Ego exquisitely.
