VERY LONG, of course it is, I knew that, 3hrs of film that should and could have been 2hrs. The film draaaaags on to the point I fell asleep briefly. Sadly, it wasn't the masterpiece I had read it was. I am very interested in history, particularly war history and so I was pretty excited to see this but it failed to keep me engaged. I would highly suggest you Netflix it so you can sleep and rewind because this movie can do that to you.
