couldn't watch it in one piece

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2012)

i am one who usually enjoys most movies, but this one i really had to take a break to do something exciting just because i was so bored. i wont say it does not have any good qualities, the camera work and lighting are both stunning. but that alone does not make for an entertaining movie, just a technically well made one. i don't think that the story of the life and death of a somewhat imaginative millionaire newspaperman really required a full 2 hours to be told. so if you're looking for a classic movie with some great visuals look no further, but if you're looking to be entertained i would search on if i were you. i really hope this review either gets you to watch a movie you can learn a lot from, or saves you 2 hours of boredom. either way is fine.
