If only you do not think seriously about this film...

Rating: 5/10 (10 February 2019)

I have heard a lot about this movie as a great holiday film. And as I am marathoning the top 250 list I decided to watch it.
At first I have to say, I am glad I have seen it in colour. It would be pain to watch otherwise.
Beginning is fine. It creates the fairy tale mood. And if you percive this way you might like it. But after the "childhood part" the movie wants you to see it as a serious piece, rather than the fairy tail. And it is first problem.
The movie is 2 hours 10 minutes long and the pace so sloooow. That is the second problem. The cut of 30-40 minutes could easily be made and actully benefit the movie. The set up for the movie is half movie long.... That is ridiculous.
The third problem is simple. The main character is stupid. He is not a romantic and not a good samaritan. He is an idiot. His phrases and his actions made me sick. Movie wants us to percieve him as a kind fellow, but he is just the idiot.
There is actual villain of the movie, where he should not have been. Another proof that it is not a drama, it is a fairy tale, that tries to be a drama. Why? And that is the forth problem. What is the point of the villain? A cartoonish villain. It serves for me as a proof, that the movie is a fairy tail. But for the film storyline he is pointless.
I really wanted to like this movie, but as further I have been watching the movie the more I disliked it.
Probably it is the most boring and stupid movie out 101 movies from top 250 list. It is not bad, but should not be in top list.
I will not give it 1 to lesser the list position, I will put honest raiting, but it is deffinetly low.
