What's all the hoo-ha about? I was personally bored throughout the film.

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2010)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a movie that is hailed as not only one of the greatest Westerns of all time, but one of the greatest movies in cinema. I have tried 3 times now to get into this, but each time I end up being bored silly by it. This has made so many memorable lines to quote for people, so many parodies for the bicycle riding scene, with the song "Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head" but in the end, I really didn't care. For it's time it's very iconic, but today it's heavily outdated, and the infamous gunfight at the end while one of the best things about the movie, is even outdated. Paul Newman and Robert Reford are not a problem, they are the reasons I managed to keep awake through the duration of this movie, and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, I have to admit, i'm just very picky on westerns, and this is another one that bored me.
Performances. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are both fantastic. They ooze class and charisma, while having there macho type moments as predicted, they are the saving grace to this film. Katharine Ross is OK, but is pretty wasted.
Bottom line. This is an overrated movie, that is not on my list of classics like it is on many others. It's just too uninteresting for my liking. Recommended because it is a required viewing, I just don't care for it.
6/10
