My reaction
Concept: 3/4 (Good)

Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great). Hooray for historical accuracy and realism!
Acting: 3/4 (Good). Connery is surprisingly entertaining. Richard Harris is great. Middle-Aged Audrey seems out of place, like she's not aware of her age or how to use it.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). It has a lot of strong parts, but doesn't work particularly well overall.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.6/4 (Good)
