The Biggest Disappointments
Waterloo - Interminably long. It seemed like there was a great film in there somewhere but that they just took far too long to get to the subject material.
Shaft - I was looking forward to this (and I can see how it was considered "exceptional" in the day). The music is still excellent but the film, particularly the dialogue has dated terribly.
I, Monster - Not terrible, just that I was expecting more.
