Just the first half of this movie is inspiring and movie and the performance of Elwes and Voight (Thus Far with his small part in the first half) are beautiful and worthy of an Emmy. I was a little concerned when I first saw Elwes as the young Cardnial he has always been the Dred Pirate Roberts/Dear Wesley to me (Sorry Cary didn't mean to type cast you) but after watching his performance it really legitimizes his acting for me. As far as Voight goes from the moment I saw him dressed in the papal robes I knew his performance would be spectacular. I should have waited until I saw the entire mini-series before posting a review but I couldn't help it because the first part was SO good I needed to share it in case someone is looking at the reviews to decide if they should watch the second half or not. I really think the two parts can be stand alone as they stopped the first part in the middle of the 2nd conclave so if you haven't watched the first part you can still pick up on the 2nd although the 1st really shows why JPII had the resolve he had. I can't wait to watch the conclusion.
