Review of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by Hiddenace — 20 Sep 2017
A 'movie' I recommend, but notice I give it only 5/10. You should not expect an adventure story as many sites list it, instead you will find the rest are true; a Biography War Drama. A perfect comparison to this story is the movie: 'The Ten Commandments'. An extremely long look at a piece of history. This film fails as a solely entertaining experience. If you do not want to know this piece of (biased)history then don't watch this movie. I watched this because it was voted top Adventure movie in many places, but I would not call this an adventure, more a biography as stated before. There is no structure to make this an interesting and exciting story, just a historical retelling with only its events as pacing, making it slow and unsuspenseful.
It certainly didn't need the extra hour and a half it took, but lacking any structure they decided to show everything they had and cut nothing.
Overall I liked the movie despite the score, but it certainly is no adventure movie or anything worth 3 and a half hours unless you're into movies like the ten commandments. Look to other movies for entertainment, especially in the adventure category.
