The best movie I've seen this year.
Far too deliberate for many--I found its generally contemplative spirit, punctuated at regular intervals by some exciting battle sequences, superb.

It's one of the few films that persuades you that it went out to meet the war and bring it to us with verisimilitude.
Though Lee's movie is dripping with action and beautiful details, it's aimless and, eventually, tedious.
Doesn't offer much texture or depth of character.
The plot is largely a series of excuses for one-liners expertly delivered by Maguire, making all the hatred, maiming, and killing seem like digressions.
