Warden Callaway Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Free on Tudi. Here is the trailer. Got good reviews on average. Many 10/10s with long, elegant comments on how great it was. I found it boring and slow as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 You just reminded me, I've had it for years but have never watched it. Were the glowing comments all from women who like Brad Pitt? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I gave up on it after about 30 minutes, very slow and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Saw it about 2 years ago. Was slow, but it was OK and I wasn't sorry I watched it. Not one to watch again, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I liked it. Life in the 1800s was less frantic. The pace was suitable. Good characterizations by the actors in general. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I liked it especially the dialog and Casey Afflecks deliveryof his lines. Not every western has to be an old fashioned shootemup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) An excellent movie. A dark, somewhat revisionist but in many ways accurate depiction. Slow, yes. Not all movies have to be fast paced continuous action sequences. The acting and interaction by Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt was stellar... really showed depth in the characters and their struggles with who they were and the demons each fought. I've watched it several times. Always worth it. Edited January 5 by Dantankerous 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I also have it, but honestly me and wife were bored by the slow pace. It maybe a good movie and we all know the plot and outcome. But it was "boring". Its in a very large pile of DVDs we're selling at this years community garage sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I liked it. The scene where Ford shot Jesse was overly dramatized, but it's still among the more historically correct western films out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Slade Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I have to agree with those that say it's slow and boring, and also with those who say it's a great movie. "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is another perfect example, long and slow and boring for a great deal of the movie - but great. Definitely the same with "Dances With Wolves". "Unforgiven" is long and slow too. All movies I have to be in the mood to watch, but they are still great movies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
