Alive who thought this movie sucked! Acting was good, but the film was a snoozefest. I remember after watching it that I was disappointed because I thought it would become intersting toward the end. Just a completely boring and dull movie.

always one...
Well, I had never heard of it and went into it with absolutely no preconceptions, so was completely charmed by it.
It's really the story of the boy, plus his friend and Mud. If looked at from that point of view, perhaps it makes it more tolerable for some.
To each his own, but I thought it got very lively at the end!
It wasn't supposed to be an action flick. It was very good as a quiet study of people doing what they did in that story.
It was definitely quiet. I understand it wasn't supposed to be an action flick, but it was so uninteresting IMO
shareYou are NOT the only person who thought that. I was really looking forward to this movie and thought it would be really good but it was SO slow moving and went exactly...well...nowhere for me. I appreciate the acting and the beautiful scenery but thought it needed more interesting scenes or a big payoff at least. Not for me...
shareI felt the exact same way. Great acting and cinematography, but the story was too simple and short to warrant a movie this long.
shareYou are not alone.
Excellent actors, great setting, great-looking movie -- yet, ultimately very slow, very meandering story and no real drama to speak of. I mean, c'mon! the story goes no where. Unless you buy the shootout with the psycho-family. Maybe if they'd set it in the 1930's? missed opportunity...
