This film has already been tagged as an "epic love-story", with a good-sized budget.

However, most epics have not done well recently. (exception- LOTR)

What do you think?

Is the underperformance of epic movies a trend? A certainty? what are the factors you think have added to colossal epic failures like The Alamo and Alexander?

Here are a few of mine:

1. Knowledge of the epic time period/history is spotty owing to lack of education in classics

2. Young audiences (tromorrow's movie-goers) are video trained to focus on the action aspects, not the human aspects.

but what do you think?
