    I would like to know what you think about this film and would appreciate all comments. It's a long three hour movie and I watched it on NETFLIX

    The long version is one of my favorite movies. I had to watch it twice to understand what was going on. The flashbacks were confusing the first time.

    I started to watch it but somehow it didn't catch my interest. Maybe I will give it another try depending on the reviews posted on this thread. The idea of real-life people being also fairy tale characters caught my interest, but somehow I found watching it less interesting. That was all 10 years ago.

    Like you, it wasn’t my cuppa. DeNiro and James Woods are great actors but if a movie, any movie can’t catch my interest in a matter of fifteen / twenty minutes I’m gone.
    It’s a matter of whether a movie is worth cooking popcorn.

    You mean the (long version) opening scene, with the opium den, dead bodies, and the telephone ringing 24 times, didn't grab your attention? :D Tsk, tsk, tsk.
