Needlessly Boring

Rating: 5/10 (24 February 2015)

I knew little of this story prior to the movie. Perhaps that made me have a little higher standards than others for its execution. It was presented in a very matter-of-fact style with little drama compelling the viewer to engage, reminiscent of other movies of its ilk which I also found boring. The acting and production were good, but the storyline itself was just missing something to really captivate the reader and make this more than a documentary. There certainly was a human element to the story, and the characters themselves perhaps were just as boring in real life, yet there is a way to present such characters without compromising the entertainment value of the story.
If you are familiar with the story, you will likely enjoy this much more than I did. If you are not familiar with the story and are looking for entertainment, I would pass.
