A Sweeping Epic

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2000)

I did not have any expectations when I saw this movie because I did not know anything about it. The trailer was enough to compel me to see this movie... and was I ever surprised. I was expecting a good movie; what I saw instead was beyond that. This movie is a sweeping epic that blew away my every concept of what a "grand movie" is. It is, without question, the best movie I have ever seen. And the original motion picture soundtrack (by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard) is a haunting and stellar composition.
