STORY/SCRIPT ORIGINALITY: 4/5 CINEMATOGRAPHY/EDITING [DIRECTING]: 5/5 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT [PLOT]: 3.5/5 MUSIC, SOUND, & SCORE: 2/5 ACTING [MAIN CAST]: 3.5/5 REWATCHABILITY & ENJOYMENT: 3/5 PERSONAL RATING: 4/5 24/35 -Has a whimsical nature to it. Surprisingly funny in the first half and has the bones of modern day RomComs -The battle scenes are spectacular for any generation of filmmaking. With more dramatic music and a greater makeup budget, this would be remembered as the archetypal war film -The run time of 144 minutes is a slog at times. I think all the Mary scenes could be removed and it wouldn’t change the end result.
