too long, too boring, too much!

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2004)

this 2 and half hour movie made me so sleepy during watching. there is no doubt, something is seriously wrong with this film. it looks very promising in the beginning but as long as we go along it starts really to make you wonder. all this could be reasonably finished within 90 minutes or maybe less and it could be much more intense and smarter that way. not all historic melodramas must be that long. at least in "titanic" we had some action. the only thing that's left in my memory is john seal's delicate camera work. nicole kidman really tries but unfortunately she doesn't have enough to go along with. rene zelweger looks pretty stupid. it is not her fault. it's a classic mis-cast. don't watch "cold mountain". there are so many other things you can do in your precious spare time. sleep for example.
