I had been looking forward to seeing this movie for a long time simply because I'm a huge Hugh Jackman fan. Little did I know that I would love it so much. It is an epic in every sense of the word. Not only is the cinematography exquisite, but it was actually the connection to the characters which made me break down in tears a few times during the film. I was a bit worried about the lengthy running time, but I can honestly say that the movie never dragged on.
