Title: Overlong and Underintelligent
Review: Maltin seems to have difficulties with any movie that isn't wrapped up inside 2 hours, unless it finishes with slam-bang action sequences (Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, etc.) He appears to have the attention span of an infant when it comes to drama. Here are his comments from several critically (and audience) acclaimed motion pictures: Heat - "...Overlength..."; Out of Africa - "...overlength..."; L.A. Confidential - "...overlong..."; Lawrence of Arabia - "Loses some momentum in the second half..."; Casino - "Long, tedious tale...story is overlong..."; Braveheart - "...denouement (the end of the story) starts to drag..." Is this guy for real? I guess anyone can write a book and call himself a movie critic. I'm surprised he could sit still long enough. Unbelievable.
Is the review positive or negative?
