Very slow and depressing

Rating: 4/10 (24 February 2016)

I can understand why Legends of the Fall won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The cinematography was certainly spectacular. Also the sets, and clothing were perfect. I can also understand why it didn't win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
I don't mind slow videos, but this one was simply way too slow. Not only did it drag on and on, but it exceeded the usual 2 hour limit. Then there was the story.
I held out hope all through the movie but it never picks up. I like formula movies, good in the beginning, problems pop up in the middle, problem solved and everyone is happy in the end. But this movie is more like bad in the beginning, worse in the middle, and a disaster in the end.
I actually own this movie. I've had it for several years but never watched it until yesterday. Now it will go into the "sell" pile.
