EPIC!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2001)

Quite frankly - this is the most beautiful piece of cinema I've ever seen. At first I was worried that the 3 hour running time would kill the film - I was WRONG!
I could quite easily have sat there for 10 hours (naturally with a hefty supplies of Nachos of course).
First class action, special effects to die for and a level of acting two steps above anything seen in your run of the mill blockbuster.
I agree with other comments made on the abrupt ending - but that is just nit-picking.
All in all - I give it 9.9 (rounded up to 10!)
