Slow and long and yawn!

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2013)

The movie was way too long and, quite frankly, kind of boring. It could have easily been made into a 2-hour movie instead of 2.5+ hours it is.
I found the sound at the start of the movie was poor. It was hard to understand what the characters were saying but the sound did get better later.
More explanation and background to some of the characters (good and bad) would have helped this film along. It was somewhat confusing trying to figure out who was who.
I have to agree with the decision to not nominate Kathryn Bigelow for a Best Director Academy Award. If only five movies were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar as they used to do instead of the nine or ten they now nominate, then 'Zero Dark 'Thirty' would not even be in the Best Picture category.
