Yes, you either loved this or hated it, and put me in the "hated it!" camp.

I truly wanted to love this movie - I really like Nicole Kidman, and certainly she's very beautiful to look at. As are the sets, costumes, etc. But the plot, if there can be said to be one, drags and drags and drags and drags and .... you get the idea.
POSSIBLE spoiler - as someone else mentioned, they basically tell you from the beginning the girl's going to die. And then the slower the plot gets, you find yourself yelling at the screen "JUST DIE ALREADY!" And rooting for the romantic lead to get shot. Anything to stop the endless singing about how bloody much they love each other.
Guess that makes me quite the cynic. :) But seriously, "Manos, the Hands of Fate" is an action packed thrill ride compared to this slogging swamp of a movie.
