A crashing bore

Rating: 3/10 (22 August 1999)

Don't get me wrong. I am not a man who gets bored by love stories. Some of the best movies ever made were love stories. This wasn't one of them. In fact, this was one of the worst.
Why was I bored? Because I didn't care about the characters. The actors did a great job of acting, but the people they portrayed were not interesting. As I sat through this very long movie, I kept waiting for something to catch my interest. Nothing ever really did. I couldn't believe it was even nominated for any of the prestigious film awards.
It is interesting to read some of the other comments of viewers who see this film as one of the greats of all time and to see how many "10's" it garnered. I am glad they liked it so much. But there was little in their positive comments that I agreed with other than there was some wonderful cinematography and that the actors did a good job. I saw it through different eyes. I was just plain bored. Like Steve Martin in the movie "LA Story", I wanted to write on my window, "Bored Beyond Belief".
