[QUOTE="Mark, post: 904206, member: 5"] :p Good one... :p I think that movie has some of the best fighting sequences of any of its type (fantasy/fiction/whatever). Not too slick, not to choreographed, but powerful. And they seemed to be able to make you invest emotionally in each of the many warriors to enough of a level that you cringed as those that were killed were knocked off along the way. It's a well-paced, tightly-plotted story that lent itself to a movie very well. I remember a buddy of mine handing me the book a couple of years before the movie came out. I wasn't a big fan of Crichton (and he thought Crichton was pretty decent) so I raised an eyebrow when he told me he thought I would like it. He was a buddy who used to play D&D fairly regularly with me. After I read the jacket of the book, I shrugged and said I'd read it. And I did, almost straight through over a weekend. When the movie was first advertised I figured I would like it, but hadn't made the connection because I wasn't paying close attention. As I sat through the film I kept thinking it felt familiar but only caught on about half an hour in that it was adpted from Crichton's book. By then it quickly became one of my favorite films. :) [/QUOTE]
