Beautiful sceneries - ludicrous storyline

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2011)

If not for the beautiful sceneries, I would have given 1. Although the movie itself starts quite promising, it declines quite soon and becomes tedious and silly. And when Hopkins started putting on his funny face, I did burst into laughter, much to the annoyance of my closest neighbours in the movie theater, but I really couldn't help myself :) This movie takes itself way too serious and the storyline becomes more and more ludicrous towards the ending. At least for me, it was a huge disappointment. There are far better epic movies out there than this one. Nice sceneries and a poor storyline is not necessarily a recipe for a good movie, alas.
