Disjointed, slow, pointless.

Rating: 2/10 (2 February 2005)

I have no problem with the different morals of the time - the use of eyeliner - the differences between our world and theirs. I support the exploration of the differences in our world and theirs.
This is an epic story - about the first uniting of the world - one of the crucial links in western history.
But the clumsy editing, poor timing, and unnecessarily complicated story, ruin this a potentially powerful retelling of amazing piece of history.
Read the textbooks - they're more interesting and entertaining.
This is a poor film at best - and it takes an exceptionally long time to do it.
