long story

Rating: 4/10 (16 May 2006)

I love history and both my boyfriend and I were excited to see this movie.
We had heard and read many good comments about it.
But when we actually got to watch it, it was 2 1/2 hours of wasted time.
Yes, the scenes were beautiful, but that cost the story line.
Sometimes I didn't know what just happened.
And if we had not had the closed captioning on, almost half the movie would have not been heard or understood.
They speak so soft that one may have missed half the movie that way.
If you want to see it for the scenery, go right ahead, but I did not benefit by watching this movie.
