sickening

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2004)

I was so looking forward to seeing this movie since I love this period in history, but I was so upset after seeing it. Watching this movie was like someone took a great movie and then cut out all the good parts and added in a whole bunch of crap to make it fit the standard Hollywood formula to make an extremely long movie that sucked.
You can pretty much summarize the whole movie as, they go to war, random women get in the way because one of the main characters could get hurt when there are thousands of other men dying all the time. Then they stop the battle because someone accidentally killed the wrong person. Women get in the way again until the end when its a Dues Ex Machina-athon and things just get completely unrealistic so that everyone can be happy that the bad guys died and everyone has resolve, so the audience can go home happy and not have to think about the movie ever again. Its a total insult to the intelligence of anyone who watches it.
