Awful

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2005)

I thought that this was a terrible movie. What really spoilt it for me was that many of the voice-overs by Sir Anthony Hopkins were not clearly audible because the music soundtrack was too loud. There was also too much talking and not nearly enough action. Also 3 hours was much too excessive, this movie could easily have been over in 90 or 120 minutes. This film was not an action movie it was basically a very uninteresting history lesson, and even at that who knows how much of it actually was historical fact and how much of it was just Hollywood fiction. It also disturbed me that Colin Farrell was only supposed to be 19 at one stage and Angelina Jolie was supposed to be his mother. Give it a miss, you really aren't missing much!!!!!
