Negative Positive
Title: I've seen this movie over 25 times since 1960,
Review: and I rarely watch movies more than once. I've seen chopped versions, butchered versions, not too bad versions, and full versions. This is the full version, and every shot is needed. I see something new and worthwhile every time I watch it. It is certainly the best action movie I've ever seen, and no other action movie has ever come close (save perhaps the beginning of "Private Ryan"). It is the masterpiece of one of the world's greatest directors, and may well be the best film yet made. I know of no one who has only seen it once. You can watch it entirely as a simple action movie and be enthralled and uplifted; eventually you will see that it illuminates some important universal truths. Yes, it drags in a few places, but who would want a perfect film? This is as close as you get from a human director. People will still be enjoyoing this film a hundred years hence.
Is the review positive or negative?
