A film that SCREAMS for an editor

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2010)

Yes, the sets were beautiful. The costumes, the lighting, the music, the incredible cameras, it was all there. What was woefully lacking was an EDITOR. It seems as though every inch of film that was shot was automatically put in the final cut.
Gawd, could it possibly be anymore drawn-out? A glacier could win the hundred-yard-dash against this film. Hours on end and NOTHING happens. It just drags on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
Trim it down from it's - what? - 10 hours running time, to about 90 minutes, and it just might be viewable.
If you're really dead set on seeing it, expect to spend a good bit of the running time asleep. It's almost a certainty...
