I'm a Yank, and this film STANK!


Love UK films and TV going back for decades. I don't understand the high rating for this film at all! Very boring...no real story. Silly music, silly characters,...switched it off halfway through.

Go and fck yourself you colonial retard. Stick to worshipping Michael Bay.

The film is STILL stupid...and you sound like a child.

Why is it always Michael Bay who is used in this context to insult people (and no, I am not a fan) and never other crap directors like, say, Tom Hooper?

The OP was obviously a troll. Shame on you for biting.

Fair enough. Not everyone likes it. Not sure why your nationality is relevant tho.

While I think he put his dislike of the film a bit roughly, I can understand the concept of not "getting" a film, even a classic such as this one.

I feel the same way about "Dr. Zhivago". I've watched it several times over the last 50 years. Each time, I said to myself, "Well, maybe THIS time I'll get it to click."

Nope. Never has. I love films. I love David Lean films. But not Zhivago. I don't think it stinks, it just seems so-so to me.

You're an Amrrican, ipso facto YOU stink.

This film is currently ranked at #66 of the top 100 English films of all time by the British Film Institute. For a previous poster, this film aficionado can empathize with your dilemma but David Lean's "Dr. Zhivago" is ranked at #27. As for the OP, please try and refrain from advertising your ignorance in the future.
