Sweeping scenery, epic story set in tempestuous times. Lots of good actors. Characfers that you could love or hate. The characters got mkre fully developed here than in the movie (which was too long), because there was time to do it. To my mind to added scenes filled in the story, which is more suited to a mini-series than a movie. Unfortunately, the actors have aged or passed on over time, so a sequel would not be believable. But it is an enjoyable retelling. Some of the new music choices are odd. But the new opening credits are pleasant. The original movie wasn't as well received as it should have been. Hopefully this mini-series will be given more consideration.
