Too long

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2000)

This 2.5 hour film was, easily, half-an-hour too long. There are several spots where boredom sets in during oh-so-excessively-too-long scenes. Yet, Ridley Scott opted to use rapid jump cuts during the battle scenes, leaving me almost dizzy, and not totally certain of what I had just seen.
At 2 hours, this would be a much better film. As is, I gave it a "fair" "6".
