Dull and Boring

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2011)

I have read all the reviews of this film, praising it to the heavens, calling it the greatest film of all-time. However, I could barely sit through this tiring story with it's dull characters and enigmatic ending. The fact that it had beautiful photography does not make it a great film. I have had more enjoyment watching a Monogram programmer, with all it's static photography and stock music score. At least some of those films filled their time slots with something lively, even though it would be considered illogical or contrived. There must be a reason some people revere this film. Something I just don't get. I can think of hundreds of other titles that could vie for "The greatest film of all-time." Just not this one.
