Most overrated film I've ever seen! This is so boring!

Rating: 5/10 (17 August 2006)

I really can't understand why anyone would like this film. I can't say much good about this. First of all the film takes much too long. It is so boring, there are almost no interesting scenes in the whole movie. Even the action scenes are boring. Director David Lean could at least have made the fight scenes exciting. There's also not much dialog in this movie. More than half of the time we see nothing but desert. Actor Peter O'Toole is acting like he has a face of plastic, his face expression is always the same. I don't know if the film is completely historically correct, but I doubt it. The Arabs are very stereotyply portrayed. The only thing positive to say about this film, is that the cinematography is very well done, certainly for a film from 1962. The music is sometimes quite good, but the music doesn't always match with the scenes.
I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, except to people who have insomnia. Watch this movie, you'll certainly be sleeping by the time its over!
