Concept: F
Story: D
Characters: C
Dialog: B
Pacing: F
Cinematography: It's obviously hugely important and ground-breaking, but it's pretty basic by modern standards. B
Special effects/design: B
Acting: C
Music: B
Enjoyment: I don't know why this is highly regarded. Maybe it's because not many people watch something with such a dull story unless they're predisposed to like a dull movie. Apart from the historical importance of the cinematography, there is no reason to watch this. F
