3 hours too long...

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2010)

From the get go I just want to say I really didn't like this film. As much as id like to trash it, I wont because I consider myself an avid movie lover and I'm usually appreciative of the classics...but mainly because after 4 attempts I honestly cant even get the whole way through it.
Its not to say its a terrible film, because for whatever reason its regarded as an all time great and I know plenty of people who love it...but I think it requires a certain taste and EXTREME patience.
Apart from maybe Robert De Niros acting, which is as ever flawless, I just found nothing entertaining or interesting about this film..
That being said, I'd say watch it and judge for yourself...just make sure to keep the shotgun handy...
