A 3+ hour mish mash of clichés, pretentiousness, and yawn

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2013)

I am not afraid of long movies. GWTW, Greed,1950 style epics, all I have sat through at one sitting. But this is not any of those, not even close. It is another one of those "look how clever I am" movies, coupled to a usual suspect plot. Who are the villains? Why White businessmen of course! Who are the good guys? Why homosexuals, minorities, and Luddites of course! Even though the heroes include a gay gold-digger, and a literary agent that happily cheats and robs all he comes into contact with. Maybe with a 4+ hour movie, they could have added a Stalinist Gulag guard as another hero. So unless your idea of entertainment is watching a politically correct salute to high school level leftism for three hours, skip this.
