Yes, the film is somewhat disjointed. It would have been much better off being a mini-series. However, apart from that, I can't really fault the movie, and it's an absolute mystery to me why everyone seems to hate it so much. Granted, I can't really judge its historical accuracy, I'm merely speaking about its merits as a drama. Well, it's beautifully shot and it never gets dull. And it's still way above average. I would definitely rank it higher than Scott's "Last Duel", too.
To think that I've almost missed it reading all the negative reviews here on IMDb. This will be a lesson to me. Movies used to be more fun back in the day without the internet.
