A Tear-Jerker for me

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2005)

I actually liked this movie. Maybe it was a bit too long, but so are the LOTR series and not many people complain about them. This movie had me crying so much that it had pulled me in. It made me feel like I was in the movie itself. You know those people who scream out at the screen in the movie theater as if the characters can hear them? I was doing that because this movie just hit me so hard. Maybe not a great film for the war scenes, but the emotional part of the movie is where the movie's greatness really lies. Mel Gibson played a powerful role, convincing me of his hunger for revenge when I didn't even realize it. The casting was incredible, also. A few glitches in the execution of the film but overall, I loved it and would recommend it for a quiet night at home.
