Very entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2000)

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Of course it wasn't that accurate but it wasn't lauded as a documentary. The set, cinematography, and the battle scenes were very good. The acting wasn't that great (I was a bit disappointed in Heath Ledger - of course, Mel Gibson can't act his way out of a paper bag). Tom Wilkinson, as usual, is fabulous. I do think it was too long, though. But hey, at least we're getting our money's worth...what if it had been too short? Then people would complain. I would definitely recommend this movie as an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
