Ledger does a great job in the action sequences and the more tender scenes.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Fresh
It's a pretty compelling yarn, not to mention full of pretty pictures, and yet it could be so much more than that.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
A movie that lacks the jingoistic bravura of earlier editions ... but hasn't replaced it with meaningful historical revisionism appropriate to our post-colonial age.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
What's missing, crucially, is the passion required to make this unlikely tale work.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
