First let's analyze what exactly this film is made of. Basically, the whole thing is just one epic scene after another. Most noticeably is the camera work and the visual effects. Every shot seems like it was intended to be a work of art. The colors, the character, the costumes, the backgrounds... every little detail has been given so much attention.

During the big scenes you'll also instantly notice the unique editing.

The story on the other hand isn't very complicated, in the sense that the whole movie could probably be described in a sentence or two, with nothing more to offer then idealistic visions of how life should be.

Reviewers of this title seem to be split up in two groups. They either love it with passion calling it an epic movie of the 21th century, or hate it even more and throw it off like a piece of garbage consisting of mindless action and silly clichés. I feel reluctant to take a position in this argument. Normally it's tolerable to weigh out both sides of this matter to result in a fair judgment about a movie. Not in this one. On the one hand the actor is surely among the best to be witnessed in a movie. Every move, every facial expression, every emotion is mindblowingly stunning. On the other hand the plot is simplistic and quite frankly dumb.

Of course it could be debated that this movie was never intended in the first place to have a unique plot that makes your head spin.

So, is it worth watching or what? I think it is. For me the good outweighs the bad by miles. From the second the movie started it grabbed me and didn't let go. Every scene of the movie had me at the tip of my chair. From the strong acting to the wondrous visuals it was just so stunning... it was truly a wonderful experience.

There is so much to see, so much power in the way this epic is translated to the screen... It'll leave you in awe.

I enjoyed this movie so much, but I know there will be people that will pass of as rubbish, and that's understandable. Just be sure to make up your mind about what you want to see instead of being drawn into bias by the holier than thou critics.
