    Instant Classic!

    by bass4hw

    This is a great movie! Great story! Great acting! Great special efects! It is a bit on the long side, about 3 hours if I remember correctly. However very entertaining. I did notice after watching the History Channel Documentry on the second DVD that the film makers put some scenes out of sequence of when they really happend, but that was probably for drama or timing, not a huge deal. Who would have thought that Leonardo would be such a good actor after getting his start on Growing Pains. Also see Catch Me If You Can w/ Leonardo along with Tom Hanks & Christopher Walken. 9 out of 10!

    BORING!!!!!

    by ShakingSpine

    If you like stuff like this, then go ahead and watch it. But if you dont, do not go. It is really boring. Watch that TV show LOST instead. WAY better.
