For what the film lacks, it makes up for it in terms of it's breathtaing visuals, it's amzing score, the groundbreaking set design, and the surprisedly good characters drama. When I watch The Great Train Robbery and The Birth of a Nation I thought they were good footnotes on film history rather then them being good movies on there own, this movie how ever is a great moive on it's own and a footnote on film history so that to me is a good reason to give it a 10/10.
