Swan Song (2021)
A great 30-minute film that lasted two hours
A was a great story and it was beautiful to watch, but it was only enough plot for 30-minutes. Dragging it out for two hours ruined it. Far too many scenes lasted two or three minutes when 10 seconds would've been long enough.
Still Alice (2014)
Another 15-Minute Movie Stretched to Fill Two Hours
I paid $1 for the Blue-ray disc at Dollar Tree, but that was too much. Burdened by copious extraneous details and pointless development of obnoxious, self-centered characters, it drags out a plodding, predictable, pointless, and annoying story of a rich woman's mental decline. Why this fictional character would interest the viewer more than any of the millions of similarly situated real people was a mystery. Soon enough, I realized there was no reason, just boredom. A tank of tropical fish is more interesting than this film. After 15 minutes, I turned it off and read a book.
Wild (2014)
Mumbled dialogue; boring story
I wasted two hours on the movie "Wild" tonight. "Boring" or "Mumbled" are more accurate names. The actors, dialog, music, plot, continuity editing, and excess makeup, distracted from the scenery, which the filmmakers managed to make LESS beautiful than reality. You've gotta really work at it to screw it up that badly. Thanks to Apple TV, I only wasted $3.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
A Beautifully Made Utter Waste of Time!
One of the more boring and pointless films of all that I have seen. The viewing experience consists mostly of cheering for the cuter creatures and hoping the worst for the ugly noisy ones, otherwise there's not much to think or care about. Both sides rely on magic and violence to achieve their goals but apparently we are to care more for the cuter quiter ones and apparently for that reason the story is told from their perspective. Fortunately, much of the scenery is attractive and provides a welcome distraction from the otherwise pointless marching about. Unfortunately, the film drags on forever. Best to have a cup of coffee rather than coke and popcorn with this one. You'll need it to stay awake!
