Never feels like this movie is 3 hours long


Every time I watch this movie, it never feels like 3 hours. It's a slow-paced movie and yet never boring and I can watch it again and again. I don't know how to explain it. What a wonderful movie all around... music, acting, writing... powerful.

Well it sure felt 3 hours to me... I liked it and have only seen it once before years ago. It's unique, and mainly because it's when Brad Pitt was in hist prime and he and Anthony owned pretty much every minute of it. So 3 "noticeable" hours but well spent IMHO

It felt like five to me.

I've never seen such a SLOW movie! How slow?? 3 hours long? NO, it was FOUR HOURS LONG!!! Yes, four hours thanks to American TV service providers like Time Warner Cable. Sucks the excitement right out of it by taking the viewer out of the movie way to often & way too long. Yes, 60 minutes of commercials! Shame on the right to earn a profit with FREE enterprise - makes capitalism look greedy & heartless, plus corrupt & out of control. Why it would take a movie or romance addict to watch through all that non-sense advertising that we're told is the same volume at the show itself. If this is not lies, then what is it? Disingenuous, insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying, mendacious; hypocritical. Makes Americans look terrible, like liars
