most overrated movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2005)

this movie was awful. it was at least 2 hours too long. it would have been decent had they not shown the crossing of the desert in real-time... jeez talk about a waste of time. you could have watched half of the movie with fast forward on
i don't understand why they felt it was necessary to spend so much time focusing on the dialog-free desert crossing, rather than spending the time developing characters or better explaining the political ramifications of what was occurring. the overall quality of the movie was greatly depleted by this. it would be interesting to see a remake of this film, but only if it were at least an hour shorter
