Calling a film 'boring' is such a complicated issue. It's never called boring, it's usually called tedious instead. I understand some may consider it a classic, but I do not. I think it was very boring, yes tedious, and most of all very overrated.
I was very eager to check it out because one of my favourite countries is Russia/Soviet Union, but sadly this film brought out the worst in the Russian Revolution. I'm glad to see it didn't make its way onto the IMDb 250, it doesn't for even a second deserve a place on there. Instead of watching this, I'd much rather read Animal Farm by George Orwell, for it's loosely based on the Russian Revolution and a damn site more interesting.
I have rated this a 2...It is indeed a rating this film deserves. Tediousness doesn't get a high mark from me. Don't waste your time: AVOID!! or watch at your peril.
2/10
