I myself liked parts of it, but as a whole, found it difficult to consume. I'm curious about what people liked, as I'm sure there are many opinions! I did quite enjoy the moral tests he was put under, and how it consequently changed him.

Please note, I said 'story', not 'film'.

The character study of Lawrence is my favorite part, the conflict in the desert is really secondary to that. Prince Feisal sums it up best as Lawrence begins his grand adventure "In whose name do you ride?" Lawrence is as interesting a character as there ever was at least as this film portrays him.

I enjoy the visuals.
