A shockingly poorly made movie. And I mean shocking because any number of scenes are amazingly beautifully filmed, or blocked. The opening few minutes really get you excited, but the middle 5 hours (it seems like that) are an interminable length of poor acting, emphasized by a hell of a lot of sitting around talking about their feelings poorly, with a lot of poorly written dialog, then they go out and do something to no obvious end and occasionally shoot at someone.
By the end, I didn't care what they were doing, I just wanted it to end.
The few times I saw them, I preferred the Germans. Better actors, great lines the few times they had one.
And I want to emphasize again: Really well filmed when anything except the horsemen in camp, some amazing equipment (where do you get that many WW1 tanks?!?!) and of course if you like watching horses run around, man is this your cup of tea. Go for it. Enjoy.
