'In Bruges' is making me angry and stupid for being not funny

Rating: 2/10 (30 October 2014)

Before I watched the movie I had great expectations about it. Some people were comparing the style to Guy Richie's movies, or Tarantino's. Well, I'm a fan of both their work. So when I saw the movie I got a little annoyed.
Because I always want to give movies a chance to watch, I watched the whole movie. As a result a had a terrible night. I felt very dumb, because I didn't understand it. Was it meant funny? Was it a cultural sort of movie for the intellectual? I didn't get it at all. The whole story-line was so boring to me. There wasn't some tension or reason to feel excited too. I also think directors have their own ways to entertain via film. There are so many sorts of entertainment, but I can't nail this one. It's not just that I want to burn it down, but I don't think it's funny, or entertaining, or a good written story.
In the end the the subject got me thinking about a bigger perspective: Is this a cultural thing? Do I have to see the movie twice to get the point? Or am I infected to much with the Hollywood- poison that my expectations couldn't see this coming?
At last, I won't say the acting was bad, because I think it wasn't. I think Farrell and Fiennes are great actors. That's not the case. But this movie a comedy? Seriously? This review is full of questions*(? *). So finally I'm going to ask: I know you're not about to explain jokes, but somebody will? For me?
