It's more interesting than it sounds. Besides the sheer spectacle, which is notable.

The movie keeps you at a distance; it is visually sweeping, and the history is fascinating, but the drama is rarely stirring.

Easy on the eyes and hard on the head, Suriyothai is absolutely unaffecting where it matters most, in the heart.
