I'll keep it short: Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2014)

First of all, excuse my language, but writing a German review wouldn't help at all. Puh, this was disappointing. I've waited several months for the day of watching this movie - it has already gotten its academy award. I was really looking forward to enjoy at least 134 Minutes of lifetime. But, I did not. While watching it, playing on my smart phone was actually more interesting and entertaining. Even this movie is - without any doubt- one of the better movies: The acting was partly brilliant and making a movie about former slavery in the US is modern, but they could have made much more of it. There are plenty endless lengths and without Hans Zimmers soundtrack this movie would have been more boring. The only remarkable and dramatic scenes were those endless scenes of torture and -of course- the ending scene, in which Brad Pitt -the co-producer of this movie- played the hero of the movie. Ridiculous. In my opinion this was NOT the best movie of 2013; "The Kings Speech" and "The Artist" were neither. It had simply won because of it's special theme. Score for its Genre: 8.5/10 - Whole: 6.5/10
