Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2017)

How this film is getting such rave reviews I'll never know. Technically and visually it's a stunning. After that it's pretty dull. It may be historically accurate, but I want to be entertained when I go see a film. I want a story. I want 3 dimensional characters. I want to engage with them. What I got was something that felt like tedious cut scenes in a computer game that never got to the fun part. I don't know if the lack of emotion in most characters was supposed to be stoicism, but when a young boy gets killed by accident they barely bat an eyelid. Just don't go expecting a blockbuster. Expect a big budget history channel reenactment.
