The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ( extended version )
Clint took seven minutes to ride his horse up a hill getting smaller and smaller until he and the horse disappeared into the background.
' Barry Lyndon ' was right up there as well. Ryan O'Neal took twenty minutes to walk through a forest.
The original Italian version was three hours long. I wonder if that's the version you saw? Its a great movie in some ways and wouldn't say its even close to being the most boring , but yeah, it needed to be made shorter, not longer! I think I'm a patient movie watcher, can sit through stuff like Barry Lyndon, but that one didn't need to be so long.
shareI saw a film last year with robert Redford on a boat. I dont remember the title but he was Alone in a storm i think.
It was so dull and depressing, and then he died.
Wow...interesting that many of the movies mentioned are dialogue driven, non-action movies.
Thats kind of the point. Well written dialogue can create tension. If you don't see that because you are waiting for a car chase or an explosion, you are watching the wrong movie.
I like films that are set in one place, it's why I watched it. But I'm disappointed that i did.
shareRIP Robert Redford.
shareI saw that one! I thought it was pretty good, er , well i dont remember being bored ...
Like roguemail says , theres not a lot of dialogue , which on the face of it would put me off.
I've avoided watching that "Arctic" film , which looks pretty similar
Broken flowers is the most recent movie I watched which I thought was pretty boring. Not the most boring I've ever seen though.
shareTransformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Probably the worst Transformers movie. The movie is basically what a 6 yo would play out with his Transformers robots and then he run out of ideas, found a bunch of old dinosaur toys in some other bucket and keep adding to the story, making up things along the way until mom called him to eat dinner. The end.
Definitely the most boring movie I ever watched to the end. I really wanted to sleep in the theater but the sound effects were so loud, what a terrible experience.
I CANT ARGUE...THE TRANSFORMERS MOVIES AS A WHOLE ARE BIG DUMB TRASH...THIS INSTALLMENT ESPECIALLY....BUT KOWALSKI LOVES HIM SOME DINO-BOTS....MY FIRST CAR WAS NAMED GRIMLOCK😎
shareMust be a car from prehistoric era...
share84 DATSUN WAGON...SILVER...GRIMLOCK WASA LOT OF FUN.
shareAppropriate name considering Datsun has gone the way of the dinosaur.
shareTHE TRANSFORMER FILMS KEEP ME COMING BACK AND BEING ENTERTAINED FOR ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY....PETER CULLEN/OPTIMUS PRIME...THE HERO,ICON,MENTOR,ROLE MODEL OF MY CHILDHOOD...THE VOICE LITERALLY GIVES ME CHILLS,GOOSEBUMPS,TEARY EYES...
shareI liked the first Transforners movie. I think the robot designs were great and Shia LeBeouf was fine. In fact I like him better that Mark Wahlberg's character. To prove it, I still remember Shia's character was called Witwicky, while I don't even know who the fuck Wahlberg's was.
That said, the last one before Bumblebee... the one with Anthony Hopkins was actually pretty enjoyable. The idea that Transformers were part of King Arthur's crew was... uh, inventive, to say the least. And interesting. Too bad we will never get to see how that would played out.
Bumblebee is fine too, I guess. It's fun and a little bit less ridiculous. And I like how over-the-top John Cena's character was. He cocked his gun while he was still sitting in his office. He's just THAT badass lol.
Shop Girl.
shareOh 😢
I loved Shop Girl, both Steve Martin’s novella and the film. It’s my favourite performance from Claire Danes too, I’ll admit I fell in love with her character a bit.
It's been a long time since I've seen it. When it came out it was when there was a discount second run theater across from my apartment at the time and I would get high and see something different virtually every night.
Since I saw everything that the theater showed I eventually got to the point that I quit reading anything about the movie I was about to see.
I knew nothing about it when it started.
I just remember Claire dating a nerdy guy that liked french fries, left him for rich old guy that wanted to bang her and paid off her student debt as the guarantor, and then after realizing what she really wanted got back with fry guy.
But it wasn't for me.
Sorry don't take it personally! And I like both Danes and Martin.
I don't know about boring, exactly, but The Last Picture Show baffles me as to its appeal.
Maybe Nights in Rodanthe is a better answer. Dragged there by my girlfriend who didn't seem to have a much better opinion of it.
