This is a movie that I loved when I was a kid. I thought I might have outgrown it. I watched it today for the first time in 15 years or so. I enjoyed every minute of it; and it is a long movie. Perhaps because they had to fit a very large novel into one movie and the scenes come and go quickly.
Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren and Gabriel Byrne all look older. Liam Neeson looks the same. Cherie Lunghi still looks damn good too.
The movie was lauded for its visuals (sometimes a little 80's cheesiness) but the DVD does not look so good. I hope they do a good job on the Blu Ray.
The music is incredible, Vagner I think.
