Surely one of the most boring and pointless films ever made. The real dilemma of this man who was ‘the destroyer of worlds’ Is skimmed over in tedious scene after scene with little or no pace change and no discernible character development. Each scene hammers home how brilliant this man is but we’re never see it. Is he a communist or not. Who cares? He oversaw the creation of the most destructive force the world has ever seen but in this film we do not see him wrestling with anything, until the very end and after three hours, other than poor Florence Pugh who had to do most scenes with her Kit off - completely gratuitously. Does the end justify the means? Not in this film - for me at least.
