The story is not essential

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2020)

First time I saw it was ok. Second time I thought it was really good. The third time I was mesmerised.
No, the story is another cliche Hollywood mash-up you have seen a thousand times before. The script is nothing. The acting works.
You watch this movie and love it because every scene is just more beautiful then the other.
The locations are amazing. Camera is incredible. The music is over the roof good! Thank you Hans Zimmer. This soundtrack is my most played album on Spotify 6 consecutive years now.
When you combine all the elements of this film, I think it is one of the best pictures ever made. I still watch it once a year.
Funny thing is that I think this is one of few movies where the rating goes up every year. I'm not the only one who enjoys it more for every time I see it apparently.
So forget about the flaws and let your eyes and ears be the judge of this one.
