"The cast is impressive, but the number is so large that few people can escape the impression of the dragon set; the battle scenes are impressive, dragging too long leads to wandering thoughts; the attention to all aspects of the action is impressive, but it is slow. The rhythm and direction of the narrative. After three hours, the director seems to have made the audience feel the feeling of struggling through the muddy Dutch soil in hunger."...That said, it is still marked with four stars.
