Just saw it, my thoughts

I liked it. I liked it a lot actually. The beginning was a bit slow, and the movie was a bit long but good over all. My only complaints are:

I thought the trial scene was fantastic, but there should have been more. More testimony, more questions, more cross examination, etc. Roshan Seth's character was absolutely fantastic, but what a missed opportunity. He only had a few lines! He had a very commanding, powerful character, and every line he gave was really strong and I liked them a lot. But there just wasn't enough. He should have had more screentime and more lines.

Alec Guiness's character was worthless. I realized it was him because of his voice, and thought he was under utilized especially considering how good of an actor he is. I think he was better off playing an Englishmen rather than an Indian. In any case, if they cut out all of his scenes, the movie would have been exactly the same more or less. He was a throw away character. I heard most of his scenes were cut anyway, which is why his character was so small. Sadly, that is quite apparent in watching this film.

Other than that I liked it. It was a bit too long, but it was interesting throughout.
