Not bad, but not a classic

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2003)

My summary sums it up.
Its not a bad film, but its not a great film either.
I read the books years ago, and when the three (or four) films are complete, and I watch them consecutively, it might be a classic series, like James Clavells SHOGUN, but not yet.
All the info about the plot has been covered within these pages, and I don't need to cover it again.
It is worth watching, and you will enjoy it, a strong seven out of ten.
