I want the three hours of my life back that this movie wasted.

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2004)

I'm almost ashamed. I hate to write anything bad about a movie, but this movie was blatantly horrible. Now, to be fair and honest, there were highlights to this movie. First and foremost, I believe Val Kilmer was the most satisfying actor of the bunch, pulling his role off perfected. Now if only every other actor could have done that in this movie. Basically, one of my main gripes is the blatant rip offs that this movie accomplishes. Now, others have been mentioned in other reviews, like the Braveheart speech, but they don't even wait to start riping off from movies.
In the first five minutes of the movie, you can almost hear the whisper of "Rosebud.." from the opening scene. I am a fan of Oliver Stone, but to me this was just disrespectful. The battle scenes had little to offer and acting was for the most part sub-par (except Val Kilmer). I mean, come on. When you begin to hear Irish accents from the actors, you know the movie hits a new low.
Don't waste your time or your money. I saw it for free, but the hours of my life it wasted makes me sick.
