WAY too long, but worth a look...

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2012)

Very well made with all the attention to detail you'd expect from a film made by Steven Spielberg. Original music by John Williams was excellent also. Although it's very well made with some excellent performances, it has two things that I found were not in its favour. Firstly, it's far too long and secondly, the pacing of it is very slow and this, combined with the length does not make for an overly enjoyable viewing experience. Don't get me wrong, aspects of the film are quite compelling and the action sequences are as exciting as you'd find anywhere else, I just found it a little slow and far too long. Even so, I still think it's worth a look.
