6.8

Yea, it should have been less, but what can we do with it?

I would've given it a high 9.

But that's just me.

This is why I tend to ignore IMDB ratings now. This film deserves so much praise and yet it hardly gets any.

I gave it an 8. I thought it was exquisite, overlong but exquisite. Good use of Wagner though, although it's a shame that only Das Rheingold was used.

Probably my favourite out of Malick's first 4 films.

I see it. You either love it or hate it.

It's like a fine wine, best enjoyed at your own leasure. For that reason I actually think many people who would have enjoyed it at the right time in their homes felt held hostage in the theater. This marked it down too.

Although I would never rate it this low I can see how the drastic high and low numbers came about.

For example I refused to see Eyes Wide Shut in the theater based on reviews although I love Kubrick. Good call. When I watched it later in my own home I loved it.

It was a time/place issue for me. Same with TOL

a film is more than cinematography and story. Colin Farrell makes this film unwatchable.
