Good on CGI, creaky on plot - The Pillars of the Earth review by CM
Actors are pretty much obliged to take parts just to stay in the public eye, & this has some excellent ones, but the preposterous plot just can't be salvaged, despite great sets & costumes, & being roughly accurate on the Anarchy of Stephen & Matilda. This got ordered because of who's in it, & because I'd enjoyed Wm Golding's 'The Spire', & we managed to watch it all, but it gets a single star rating because of a lack of making sense, & a clunky script.
