Re: Well, I remembered it took the pains to develop the characters

You probably know I am a sucker for well done battle scenes, but M&C left me kind of cold... when I want to see a great depiction I would pull the Waterloo or W&P - both are unmatched in that regard. The 45 minute Borodino sequence in the W&P is fantastic.

It is true that the naval warfare had received much poorer coverage in movies than land wars, so perhaps the M&C is one of the better examples of such events. Of course the film gives you a hightly Hollywoodized presentation, but it is still better than what you usually see.

I wasn't trying to be mean here, I honestly find that movie boring. Of course I agree it is much better than the Gladiator.
