I finally finished watching In the Name of the Rose. Â It’s a little strange, to be honest, and definitely has overtones of 80s movies.
Sean Connery and Christian Slater are both good, though. Â The story is interesting, if a little slow-moving at times.
An interesting note: Sean Connery had gray hair, even in the 80s. Â Not much has changed!

I enjoyed the movie when I watched it back in the 80′s, although I remember it being a bit dark and depressing. It certainly gave a realistic feel of the “Dark Ages!”

Indeed, it is rather dark. Why were they called the Dark Ages? So many Knights! Bah-dum-cha (that’s the noise of a bad joke).
