An overrated movie

Rating: 3/10 (25 January 2019)

Apocalypse Now is the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) who is sent back to the Vietnam War in order to kill General Kurtz (Marlon Brando) who has become the leader of a tribe in the Cambodian jungle and has turned into a murderer.
To be honest, I can't understand why this movie is among the top 50 ranked movies of all-time. I had to stop midway through the movie and watch the rest on another day as it lasts for over 3 hours and the plot develops with a very slow pace and eventually tired me off, and this is something that hardly ever happens. It took 2 hours and 30 minutes in the movie to get to Cambodia and track General Kurtz. Although most movies concerning the Cold War era are of great interest to me, Apocalypse Now had me bored to tears. Big round of applauds though to Martin Sheen for an incredible acting performance.
