Beautiful scenes but that's it...

Rating: 5/10 (20 July 2006)

For what reason I do not know, I've been trying to avoid this flick for a while due to the bad reviews I've read and heard about it. So it came the other day that I had the chance to see it and I took it. I'm not really disappointed, I guess I didn't expect too much of it, did I? For the plot, the build-up didn't really move me at all. I was more amused with the beautiful scenes being depicted in the latter part of the flick, which are quite dark and for some reason the scenes brought my thoughts to the Dark Ages, don't ask me why.
I was heavily annoyed by some of the lines in the flick, which gives a subtle boost to prejudices about Europeans and Americans and to what is supposed to be "seperating" us. I'd rather see the flick without this generalizing crap lines, but they're there so let's try to forget about it and focus on, again, the beautiful scenes. 5/10.
