Brilliant, original, great, fantastic, but boring.

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2005)

I thought this was a great, even brilliant, film in every respect except - i haven't seen the end yet because i fell asleep half way through the last three times i tried to watch it.
My summary - brilliant, original, fantastic. But once you are blown away by the first half hour or so it's just more of the same. Hence I've yet to get to the end of this film without dosing off.
When the hour and a half version comes out (hopefully someone will hit the director/producer on the head and tell them, it was good (but not two and a half hours good).
It was a great film - just missed the (comic) plot by being too long! The whole point of comics is that you can read them in less than 15 mins or so.
Summary: brilliant film - spoilt by being over long and boring
