i tried to like this.... i swear i tried

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2012)

Perhaps one of the most overrated movies in this site.
I swear i tried to like this movie, but it's just a depressing, boring, sometimes even demented movie.
Some great actors here, but from the silent first 15-20 minutes, to the total lack of pace, disconnected soundtrack & lack of glue to join all pieces together in an attractive manner.... this movie was a total mess.
A lecture about greediness, selfishness & religion told in a very heavy, dark, slow paced & boooooring way.
Lacks charm, intention & direction. Comparing this with old or new western epics is a mistake not to be repeated.
Can't seem to be sympathetic about one single character in the movie. Perhaps that's the intention of the director... if it was, then i clap my hands on a job well done.
Learn from Ford, Kurosawa or even Leone how to make an epic sir, this is a big, round FAIL
