Some people have commented that the dialogue is cringe-worthy. I haven't seen it yet, but a poor script is really detrimental to my enjoyment of a movie. What did you think of the writing and the dialogue?

I found it completely ironic that most of the people i've seen complaining about the dialog also admired how the movie created a "larger than life" feel that would be inherant in a epic tale or folk lore. what it's acceptable to simplify and embelish the size of a rhino or the amount of troops they are up against but it's not ok to do the same thing with what the characters are saying?

yeah a lot of the dialogue is simple and over-melodramatic. but it's supposed to be. that's what happens when stories are retold for effect.
