Irons is excellent in this, too. When I see him in a film like this, I wonder why he's done so many crappy movies of late. Someone needs to find him a role in something truly great so he's not the "villain with a cool accent" in crap like <i>Eragon</i>.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-9272132353154827702014-03-03T23:03:27.874-06:002014-03-03T23:03:27.874-06:00This was my favorite that year, the Morricone scor...This was my favorite that year, the Morricone score was terrific. I've not seen it in twenty years so it is time to revisit. I remember Irons being particularly good in this.Richard Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428986542891346618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-38046374749405896682014-02-26T17:45:14.394-06:002014-02-26T17:45:14.394-06:00Well, yeah, but it's not much of a movie if th...Well, yeah, but it's not much of a movie if that happens.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-42224716718241914962014-02-26T17:35:37.977-06:002014-02-26T17:35:37.977-06:00I liked this well enough.

I did at one point say in frustration, "Just stay at the top of the damn waterfall and stop the advance there." It's almost impossible to get up it in normal clothes; it would have been impossible in armor, carrying weapons, especially if there are men at the top dropping rocks on them.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
