Sorry everybody but I found Raging Bull dead boring

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2014)

Winning 2 Oscars and a placing high on several lists of the greatest films of all time or the decade etc this 2 hour epic was as dull as ditchwater. I know a lot of readers will criticise this opinion and cite the style of direction and raw performance of all players as reasons to love the film. However I was not engaged, didn't relate to the characters and despite usually abhorring people who perpetually play with their phone whilst watching movies spent the second hour catching up on my wiki reading.
That de Niro gained 60lbs for the film impressed me yet not enough to like the movie
