I was left wanting more out of this film. Very rarely have I seen films do justice to 3 hrs of screen time (Oliver Stone's might be the only exception). This one was no different. Would it have made sense to have 3 connected period pieces in half the screen time. Perhaps.
Too many unnecessary distractions as well. Kitschy costumes, labored facial prostheses, invented tongues and gruesome violence. I still liked the film for stirring me like the time I read 'Brave New World'. But it fails as a movie, on too many levels.
