Much ado about a piece of jewelry

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2002)

I liked the excellent cast. I liked the good FX. I liked the beautiful locations.
BUT! The film is much too long.
The hero's journey is told once again, and this is only part 1 of 3. I'm sure the book fans are thrilled, but I thought a more condensed version would have worked better.
It's a Wagner opera with computer FX.
