This movie was unbelievably long. The filmmakers could've cut this into a one hour and forty minutes movie that easily. Instead, they gave us a movie that has a three hours running time full of cluttered backstories. For instance, I thought the bit about the company conflict was a bit overdone, there was an unnecessary villain, and an extended a bit overdramatic finale. Granted, I did like the feel of the film and I liked the plot. Other than that, this is an empty, gargantuan shell. I don't know, perhaps I wasn't feeling romantic when I saw this film. On the other hand, it's also not sensible to create a romantic fantasy that's as long as a third of "The Long of the Rings" saga. Skip this one if you can.
