Too long, slow storyline

Rating: 4/10 (24 September 2019)

I get why this has a high rating, it's an epic and lots of people go for that sort of movie. I however did not enjoy the movie that much. It was way too long, and the storyline dragged along. The acting is unquestionably good, and the costumes and cinematography are well done. But the directing style of focusing on small conversations and moments, for me is just boring. The action scenes are pretty epic but they don't come often enough. And the whole middle of the movie just takes too much time to go through. Its a historical piece, and while it's successful, there's no flow. This movie is just not my style.
