Beautifully shot and scored but this is the weakest Scorsese film. The highly charged political nature of this film and its depiction of Chinese as ruthless caricatures does not serve it well. As Buddhists would say the truth is somewhere in the middle. The Tibetan independence issue is complex. This film has the same flaw as "The Last Emperor" in that it tried to frame very specific cultural issues in completely western terms. The English was distracting too but the least of the many flaws.

Great art direction and cinematography paint the world of Tibet in gold. However, unlike many of Scorsese's other films, we're left unconnected to our protagonist. With Kundun, the entire time we feel as though we're watching a god on the screen who can do no wrong. We never see the man behind the title, and are only left with snippits of humanity.

Surprisingly enveloping and enlightening, albeit heavy-handed in some of its symbolism and its depiction of Mao. Fascinating in its direction and narrative arc, since it could have drifted towards the banal as many others in its genre so often do. But Scorsese never lets it.

Too serious and slow-moving. Some good visuals (nothing mind-blowing) and a good score, but nothing compelling. Really bad acting at times. I got bored and turned it off after an hour or so.

The awe-inspiring visuals in this film just magnificent. Scorsese got only non-professional actors to star, and it makes the film incredibly authentic. It's an incredible story, and it is told wonderfully. Very emotional. This is an epic, that truly is.
