The story is consistently engaging. I was always caught in Lee's struggle to find her son, born in Ireland, but then adopted.

The pacing is slow. Things do not become interesting until the Christian missionaries have invaded and destroyed the Igbo culture.

While it was an interesting story regarding the life of the last emperor of China, at times the movie was not as interesting, especially in the middle. None of the performances were memorable.

It was simply not what I expected. The true story of Donald Crowhurst is deeply tragic.

This is by no means a masterpiece but early on I could see why Daniel Day-Lewis won the Oscar. He is part of the reason why I was engaged.

One of the best examples of 3-D. Ang Lee deserved his win for Best Director.

The lighthearted approach is the main issue. It makes the film unexciting and not very suspenseful. I didn't care when Ocean's team predictably succeeded.
Note: This is a review of the remake.
