First time I’ve watched in a decade or more.
It has some fantastic scenes, but together they don’t necessarily make a good movie. I don’t mean to say it’s BAD, it just isn’t as “awesome” as you might remember.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, operatic saga that cuts between centuries of sword-clashing duels and identity crises, grounding its high-fantasy premise in the personal struggle of a man forced to live forever. Exhilarating action sequences anchor genuine melancholy about the curse of outliving everyone you love.
