A Missed Opportunity.
"Fascinating story. Superb visuals. Poor, bordering on amateurish, editing. Mind numbingly, gut wrenchingly, awful soundtrack. This could, and should, have been so much better. It's worth watching for the historical content, but you wouldn't ever want to sit through it again...."
