I had never seen this movie till 2022 and I'm almost 50. I love all the stars as I know them well from many other movies. But this movie was dull, long, dark (as in the lighting), and I fell asleep more than once trying to get through the director's cut.
Martin Sheen is wonderful! But Dennis Hopper and Marlin Brando's characters I felt were not worth watching. The story I understand, but it definitely can be summed up in an hr movie and you wouldnt miss a thing. I'm sure it was great when it came out, but it sure could use a better musical score! Just a big snooze in my opinion.
