This is the same as 'Honey'

Rating: 3/10 (11 December 2003)

I don't understand where the good reviews are coming from, what did we actually see? Its no better than honey, its actually, I think, the exact same sort of movie. Not genre-wise of course but its constructed the same way, taking pieces here and there from other competent movies and sticking them together to make another competent movie. We could have watched Dances with Wolves or Gladiator or Glory or practically any American Western and not have had to spend 12 bucks and 2 and half hours. Wasn't any body freaked out by the Emperor's final speech about preserving tradition? It was that composite mechanized-holy war that was gonna kill a helluva lot of people only two generations later. (my theater cracked up a the decapitation, thats not a movie that ought to get a 10)
