| #1 Posted on 23.11.04 0036.43 Reposted on: 23.11.11 0041.20 | I saw this tonight and I have to say...words cannot describe how ridiculously awful it was. What it was...it was "a lugubrious exercise in patience that fails miserably." The movie is just one great big giant, incoherent mess. Half the time you don't even know what's going on. The battles are so poorly done that at the end, you don't even know who won.
I'm just going to warn you guys now, don't see this movie. Its 3 hours that feels like 2 millenia. Not even Rosario Dawson's naked breasts could save this $150 million turkey. Promote this thread! | | Freeway

Pray for me, Vile1. I'm seeing this sometime this week. Ever since JFK, I have had a soft spot for Oliver Stone. I hope he can pull off something semi-coherent. | Mayhem

EDIT:
Here's my official review of the movie-

I gave it 0 out of 5 stars. If I could've given it a lower rating, I would have.
