so f*ing slow. don't see it if have not seen the series.

Of course not. If you're watching this without having seen the series you are a dope.

I suppose you like movies such as fast five........and other action flopbusters............seriously this movie is not for guys like you who love to watch brainless action and naked chicks..............

I think pretty much ALL of the reviews, and most of the publicity, point out that this is a continuation of the Haruhi universe. What else did you expect? A rehash of season one in movie form?

As for the length, I watched this from beginning to end and at the end was utterly shocked that nearly three hours had passed. To me it didn't feel like it.
I'm glad. I'm glad it took the time to build up the story, to get into the characters and their motivations, to spend time doing stuff. This certainly isn't for the sort of person who likes horror movies with a dead cheerleader every ten minutes, or other movies being a more or less continual chase scene.
Think of it, instead, as a genre-savvy existential sci-fi story running at the pace of "Driving Miss Daisy". If you can't handle this, the fault isn't with Haruhi, it's with your attention span.
