At 1960; Great. At 2007; OK.

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2007)

This wasn't a bad movie. Though I like faster action and dialog I could watch it to the end. Scenes were from time to time boring and this film wouldn't get as good review if it was published today. Music was nice and once I had to stop watching movie to get inspiration to guitar-riffs ;). Acting was OK with these lines the actors we're given. I could get only some messy ideas of the actors feelings. Battles were cool with all those camels and horses running around.. lot's of money gone to shooting fer sure.
Scenery was really nice, whirlwinds and that fusion ball rising at the edge of desert.. Most people probably gave the rating 10 stars out of nostalgia. In the 60's there was probably not many better movies than this. Movie created some interest to know about the history aspects of Middle-East in early of 2000 century. Have Arabs really being so scattered? I have no idea of what really has been.
Probably in right mood and bigger screen this could be better. If you are under 35 year old and don't like slower kind of films this could be waste of your time. For me, I think I'll watch mostly newer films from now on.. there's plenty of unseen yet.
