I liked it but I thought it was incredibly over-rated. I mean, it is meant to be THE film. But why? I enjoyed watching it but it’s not a film I feel compelled to watch over and over and I think there are many films more worthy of the status this film holds (although I can’t think of any examples right now. This takes a great deal of thought…)
