    This is my 2nd time watching this film. I haven't seen this film since freshman year in high school (that is 8 years ago)! Initially, I gave this 4 stars - I didn't find it great, just enjoyable. After a rewatch, this deserves 5 stars and actually, I believe this is a masterpiece.

The creation of an epic narrative with many battle scenes is a great blueprint of many films after the release of this film (I am looking at you, A Bug's Life). The screenplay is just incredible, but with a very minor gripe. The introduction is absolutely fantastic as it establishes the setting perfectly and we can…
