I watched this movie the other night, boy am I irritated that I actually spent money on this pretentious piece of crap.
There was so much hype over it, the critics loved it, and though I usually don't pay attention to that, the TV spots looked really interesting, so I rented it. In my honest opinion this movie was made just to win awards, not to be enjoyable to watch. It was almost three hours long, there was no dialogue for the first 20 minutes and probably only had a total of 45 min of dialogue in the entire movie. So much time was spent with loud overly dramatic music and people looking off into the distance. There wasn't even much of a plot, weird time jumps, no believable antagonist, and one of the stupidest endings I've seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, Daniel Day Lewis played a very believable character and did an excellent job with what he had to work with, but the so-called story was horrible. This is probably the worst movie I seen in years, it took me two days to watch it. The first day I watched an hour and a half where absolutely nothing happened, I then forced myself to finish watching it two days later just so I wouldn't completely waste the money I spent renting it and in hopes that SOMETHING would happen. Nothing much did, though there was a little action in the last 15 minutes.
Excuse me for my rant.
So has anyone else seen this, and what do they think?

Maybe you could do a screening of the movie, by the time it's finally over they'll forget you even exist.
