look up 'spectacle' in the dictionary and you'll find this one listed...

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 1999)

What can one say about this iconic film epic? It has it all - breadth, sweep, grandeur, a sense of space and time, and a gripping story of hatred, forgiveness, and redemption. Seeing it in anything other than letterbox format is to miss the whole sense of the film. You can't call yourself a movie buff without having seen this one. They don't make 'em like this anymore, fer sure.
