Adequate cinematographic presentation of a classic

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2002)

This is an adequate cinematographic presentation of a classic. But, by "adequate," I don't mean there is something wrong. It is a very, very, very good movie. It's eye candy: a computer marvel with special effects out the wazzoo. But that's what you'd expect and want from the film version of this classic. The acting is also quite good. It's what a movie should be: big, loud, noisy, grand, entertaining, pretty, ugly, you name it. It's an epic in the grand sense, and likeable in that genre.
