Prolonged, Slow, Rather Tepid and Boring, Thus, Not So Great As Many Claimed

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2015)

I expected more from that so-much lauded classic with so many great actors as main stars. Yeah, I watched it with all my patience and was a bit shocked - so? and that is that? Is that it? Is that the classic of cinema that so many people praised so much? I say, this is terribly long, very boring, very slow and rather tepid. And yeah, lukewarm. It did not hold well and left a very mixed impression. Yes, a great job was done and the final blow-up is a must-see. But then, there are so many buts and ifs. I was appalled by a slow tempo and very boring dialogs. My advice - yes, you can try and watch this one, but with a certain grain of salt, as not so many old films stood the test of time and preserve the fidelity and decency of other works. I give it 5 out of 10, but still, not to return to that one again
