Well I must admit, this was better the second time, and i hardly ever say that.
The first time i watched it i felt it was a lord of the rings knock off, less the ring.
This time i was moved by his story.
Though for the record i still feel after the first battle seen it could end.
Although a great movie and an award winner, i do feel it could of used a bit more editing.
I like a story that clips along and this thing does not. 3 hours is a long time to devote to an OK actor doing an OK Scottish accent.
Great story, mediocre everything else.
Mel pulls it off because his supporting cast is freaking amazing.
Thoughts?
