Rotten
It is overlong, overproduced, overscaled and crammed with too many plots, subplots and digressions.

Without knowing what has been lost in the process, it would be hard to imagine the original film was any less repetitive or more dramatically engaging than what remains.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
Compelling enough that one wishes to be able to see the entire eight hours, with all the missing context filled back in. As it is, this short version seems even longer than eight hours.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
Fresh
Visually ravishing and full of double-crosses and nefarious plots worthy of Shakespeare.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
A film that is stunning to watch.
