Big time disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2001)

This is a turkey from start to finish. A film costing so much really ought to deliver more than this, but sadly doesn't. Firstly, its vastly too long, a common mistake among film makers today. The whole third segment looks tacked on and is just plain silly. Sure, the special effects are good but it takes more than pyrotechnics to make a movie. Secondly, the characters are flimsy and the plot riddled with holes. All in all, an insult to those who were there and a poor historical record.
