Telling who is who and what role they play in this visual epic really robs the fairytale story of its grandeur. But the eye-candy is astounding. The effects are also delicious, though only in and of themselves. As such, the ever-present story is beautiful when simplified, but if you look to get something out of it… you might as well choose another film.
That said, there's great cinematography and there would be a great story if it was simplified somewhat. But such eastern films often throw in the kitchen sink, and my western attention span won't accept anything over five seconds. The acting was okay, but there were too many characters and mini-stories to sustain the length of the film. Luckily, the backdrop is so wonderful that it's worth a couple of glances on "mute." I give it a 4.5 outta 10 for the visuals.
