Diana

Diana

It has been a tough choice, but we are finally set to reveal out Worst Movie of 2013 - believe me when I tell you that there were a whole host of films that were vying for this crown.

However, the title of Worst Movie of 2013 goes to the truly awful Diana.

We have been treated to some wonderful biopic films in recent years, and when I heard that Naomi Watts was on board as Diana I thought this was going to be another triumph.

I couldn't have been more wrong as the acting talents of the wonderful Miss Watts are done a total disservice with this film.

Diana follows the last two years of her life and the relationship that she had with Dr Hasnat Khan.

Diana should have been a film that delved into the world and life of an incredibly complex and afflicted women, and yet this is nothing more than a soap opera story.

Rather than being depicted as the complicated woman that she is, Diana is portrayed more like a petulant child who throws her toys of the pram whenever she doesn't get her own way - I have to say Diana deserved so much more than this.

Watts gives a fine performance and really does capture the look and the mannerisms of the princess. However, she isn't give any meat to really get her teeth into.

Sadly, Watts' great talent is wasted on a script that is as deep as a puddle and containing very little character development.

This could have been a movie that really showed us the woman behind the headlines; however, director Oliver Hirschbiegel just gives us one famous scene and moment after another, and doesn't shed any new light on Diana as a person.

Diana is not the tasteless and disrespectful movie that many would have you believe, it is just been done so incredibly poorly.

The script descends into melodrama and tackiness - it plays more like a rom-com rather than a sophisticated biopic film.

For all her fame and good doing Diana was a flawed character who felt starved of love and betrayed by her family, and yet this movie does not attempt to tackle these interesting issues at all.

Instead, it chooses to tell the story that we all already know, but fails to tell it well. The film is fake and superficial and will leave you feeling really cold.
