I like a slow burn when it's done well. I like long, introspective movies, when they're done well.
It's like you said; we all like different stuff.
I absolutely loved "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and I've watched it several times, and other people thought it was too boring and slow to get through even once.
I thought "Gone Girl" was a fantastically paced mystery that didn't telegraph the ending at all, of course, that had the advantage of being a novel first.
But then I remember people raving about "Manchester By the Sea" and I thought it was the most boring, dull, navel-gazing trash I'd seen in years.
But a similar movie from 2001, called "In The Bedroom" I consider a masterpiece.
I think it's funny that TLJ and BR2049 seem to be the two most divisive movies on this forum. I disliked both, but TLJ was just utter excrement without a single saving grace to me, whereas I could at least see the artistry in 2049. I just yawned my ass off at the retread, well-worn plot. I'd love to spend more time in that world, just give me a plot with more substance, please!
