What is all the fuss and hype about?????

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2011)

I had this film sitting around on my hard drive for a good 6 months and never got round to watching it. But after seeing the high score this film has on IMDb I thought it was about time I took a look at this 'masterpiece'. I started watching the film back in January and managed to handle around 30 minutes before my interest started to wain. After another few weeks I finally had a second attempt at watching the whole film and I have to say I think I need a commendation for sitting through this convoluted mess all the way to the end. How this film has ended up at No.8 in the all time Top 250 I have absolutely no idea; all I can think of is nowadays very good special effects constitute this film as a classic as opposed to acting and storyline??? Perhaps they're are too many sheep on the planet nowadays....this would account for the ridiculous 8th best film of all time ranking.
