Awesome!

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2001)

My only regret about this movie is this: I wish I'd seen it in the theater instead of waiting for it on video (I was very bad about seeing new movies this summer). I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I'd seen the full effect.
Because this is a BIG movie. And to that end, it's excellent. The sets and costumes are incredible, the characters are well established, and the action scenes are amazing. My only problem with the story was that I think there must have been a better way to explain the main political conflict, as the action literally has to halt in order for the characters to explain what's going on. Other than that, I enjoyed this movie. Although I'm not sure if it'll be up for best picture, it at least gets my honor of the year's most quotable movie.
