Pretty disappointed. Couldn't get past 30 minutes


I was looking forward to this movie since it was in production. I love the HST books I've read, and absolutely LOVED Fear and Loathing. And I knew this was going to be different. But damn, was anyone else really bored with it? After 15 minutes I wanted to turn it off. But I tried to be entertained. But we can't try forever. Really disappointed with this one

I understand what you mean. I, too, felt like turning it off after about 15 minutes but I got drawn in. If you stick with it it becomes very absorbing and much better. The pace is good. My only quibble is I then got a bit bored towards the last half hour. I still stuck with it and it definitely is a good film from a great director.
