Movie | The Great Silence | Liked It-ish

After reading about it for years, I finally got around to this cult classic Western. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. To me, there wasn't enough character development and even the stars were only mildly interesting. And the pacing...was...so...slow...bad enough that it wandered fairly consistently into boring territory. Granted, the history and story behind this film is spectacular, but I wanted to like it so much more. Many of the elements that reviewers point out as "groundbreaking" and "unique" are not, existing in plenty of other flicks released before this one. In the end, this movie is just not that special.
