The emperor has no clothes

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2008)

This movie was terrible to sit through. All four of my party agreed wholeheartedly on that point. It was too long, too boring and way too full of itself. It reminded me of the movie "The Apostle". Both got great reviews and Oscar nominations. Both were awful to watch. Both were dominated by a megalomaniacs. They dominated their respective movies in a detrimental way. I will compliment Daniel Day Lewis on a superb performance. But what is the point when the movie plot is so empty and drawn out. You walk out of this movie angry that you just wasted three hours. This is just another example of critics and the movie industry trying to get over on the public. I can't believe that it has been so highly rated on this website.
