What's your opinion on Enemy At the Gates

[Idioteque...]

I remember as a kid catching this on tnt late one night. I saw that Jude Law and Ed Harris were in it so I was interested. Turns out I enjoyed it very suspenseful, tragic and I felt the story of the friendship almost ruined was strong. And score was good too.

Though now I look at the reviews, it's like 56 on RT, many people didn't like it for some reason. I'm curious, I can't find anything wrong witht he movie, sure it's 2 hours but you're telling me that's too long? That's a normal length. I think Gangs of New York hit boring points. I felt EATG was pretty straightforward and the acting was good (introduced me to Ralph Fiennes' brother and showed me that Rachel Weisz has acting ability in her)

What's your thought? Why do you guys hate this movie? Was I probably a young child that was easily impressed by the action? Isn't it a little too dramatic for a kid?
