<p>The cast is interesting but rather incomplete. There’s no Father or Son. Bradley Cooper talks about the story as two brothers who had a falling out. Milton makes it clear that the Son and Lucifer are never in any way related or equal, no matter what Lucifer thinks.</p>
<p>Granted, it would be a great challege for a film to represent the Father and the Son without misrepresenting them. The War in Heaven would be pretty interesting with CGI, though. As it is, that section is generally considered the most boring. And would the film retain Milton’s in medias res narrative order? Would Lucifer retain his wonderful speeches? American actors are generally poor at reciting blank verse.</p>
