I haven't gone through the whole thread, but judging by the last few posts I can guess how it went.
I saw it twice. Is it a great story? Nope. But it is a good story, and the way it was told was well done and the movie medium was breathtaking. I doubt it will break the top 10 on this list; for all the reasons people have mentioned and the fact that it just isn't as good of a film. But top 25 in all time attendance (which it will be shortly) is nothing to disparage.
