Viewing Notes
Long overdue revisit and first time on the big screen. Always wanted to see this big but never imagined it would be from a Fathom Events screening celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Granted that this movie borrows from films that came before it not to mention the source material, but so many movies have taken bits and pieces from this movie the most recent being THE NORTHMAN. Kinda wild to see but also p cool.
Lots of things I had forgotten but surprised how much I did recall, precise moments. Impressive how well paced this is. Two hours flies by.
