2 3/4 HOURS YOU WILL WANT BACK

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2019)

First off this isn't a one star film, it's more like a 4 but I had to do something to redress the overacted stars and points this film has unbelievably rated. I don't think I've ever seen a clearer case of emperors clothes in a film. I came here to see it after hearing Richard from Pointless didn't like it and he realised his opinion went way against popular opinion. I regard Richard as a smart guy so wanted to see it. Well believe the negative reviews here. This is no Unforgiven. It's slow. Over the top and rewards in very little increments that do not justify its vast running time. It is not brilliantly shot. It's not fantastically directed. It's not amazingly edited. And it's not brilliantly written. Shawshank Redemption is a masterpiece. Green Mile is wonderful. Goodfellas is incredible. Taxi Driver is phenomenal. Schindler's
It's is awesome. Hell, even Saving Private Ryan knocks this into a cocked hat... but then again so does Gremlins! So do yourself a favour, don't believe the idiots here saying it's the best film ever made. They are just deluded. Watch it if you must but don't say I didn't warn you. Most of you will want your time back.
