So, I picked it up at Best Buy. I liked it for the most part and found the story interesting. It did have some serious flaws. The gaps in time were a bit jarring, I agree. Especially the fact that it doesn't explain how he was able to learn how to fight or employ strategies and tactics for an army. Seems impossible that he'd be able to learn such things being a prisoner most of his life or living out in the wild. I don't think losing his father was his impetus for being such a warlord. I think it was his disgust at the mistreatment he and his family received from his very own people that was his impetus. Anyways, I found the film at least worth watching. I'll give it extra stars since I liked Lawrence of Arabia and 300, not to mention Kingdom of Heaven which I recently bought on Blu-Ray :).Lynxswifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309270213857383923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-14590993486755305192008-06-04T18:43:00.000-04:002008-06-04T18:43:00.000-04:00Hello.

I wonder how long we'll exist in a movie state of pre-fab soundtracks--using extant pop music that brings its own baggage to the movie experience. Increasingly, too, there seems to be a willingness to use a song without regard for whether it suits the moment in the film. Take Rammstein's music in Lost Highway. Musically it may be fitting, but lyrically, I just sit back and wonder--did Lynch know what the songs were about or did he not care?Redzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562178028182312306noreply@blogger.com
