| Big, bold, beautiful film with epic battle scenes. It is also much too long and lacks warmth; it's one of those classic films which many people secretly find boring. Though it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the less intellectually respectable Ivan Reitman's Dave covers the same ground more entertainingly and at equal depth. |
