Not a bad movie, but THREE AND A HALF HOURS for what’s essentially a story about some guys fighting off a bunch of low-grade bandits? Holy fuck! They could have trimmed like an hour and a half off of this and lost nothing much.

But it’s an old movie, and as old movies go, it’s probably really awesome ‘n’ stuff, and I’m being spoiled by having seen too many derivatives ‘n’ such. But as movies go in general, whatever. Good, but not 3.5 hour worth of good.

(Also, wasn’t this a quest in Icewind Dale? Or, for that matter, pretty much every CRPG ever: “Villagers hire fighters to defend them from bandits”…)
