Melancholia - boring movie OR most boring movie ever?

I haven't seen Melancholia yet, but I did watch another movie by the same director; Antichrist. I enjoyed it if "enjoy" is the right word for such a horrifying movie. But then I've always liked horror, so I guess that explains how I could like it. It's very realistic horror.

To others who have seen Antichrist and Melancholia: which is best?

didnt you just wanna give the Kiefer Sutherland character a punch in the noggin!!

thought provoking movie...i enjoyed it

7.5 / 10

can def see what lars von trier was going for, nice to not be spoon fedlike most 'endtime' themed movies

interesting it was a movie about doom with the main character having a mental illness?

remind you of like 91% of GLP posters?

:D

"What's to like? You mean besides the end of the world? Or the 3 personality types that will meet the end? Or the big wigs at Nasa who spout their lies who will only take their own lives at the end, being too cowardly chicken shite to face it like a man. hmmm,,,, idk lemme think..."

I watched the movie 3 times. I thought it was kinda interesting. Can someone explain what the director was trying to convee

Here's OPs ideal Movie

I agree stupid neurotic bitch running around humping dudes on the golf course. I wanted to smack that bimbo so hard.

Sure he's a drama and a drag queen .

Its a juxtaposition of the ultimate emptiness of the everyday rituals, the endless longing of a melancholiac (yes, its a real mental illness) and the unbearable helplessness of the human condition...what if it all ends tommorrow?

I dont think Lars (director) gives two fucks what the mass public think of this film, it wasnt made for them.

Its an honest exploration of real emotions between real people with real problems.

The movie is far from perfect, but it hit a chord with me.

haterz gonna hate

haven't seen it,but the trailer sure as fuck looks boring

this doesnt hold a candle to the time travellers wife.
it is a close second though.

Absolutely loved it.

A chilling end.

OP is just a stupid Popcorn Cinema "ONLY" Dude, if nothing explodes, and no one gets shot every 60 seconds or there´s no CGI Galore, it ain´t a good movie

Movie was good. I dont think kurten Dunst character had a mental problem. I think she was clarvoyant. She knew what was go.na happen and wanted to experience marrage and what not before the planet hit. knowing the planet was gonna hit would explain her bebavior.

Fuck you Gumbo. I liked it, it takes a certain level of inteligence to understand this film, it makes you think for yourself.

Stick to watching films like speed and Crank mate.

This, from the same asshat that brought us "Antichrist".

No thanks.

I loved the last 5 minutes. That was about it.

Antichrist was a far better film.

And don't tell me I didn't 'get it'. I've watched more arthouse films than you've heard of. You wouldn't know a decent film if it crawled up your ass and died.

Agreed, and of course, the nude scene.

I like "thinking" movies, but this is just an excruciatingly boring waste of time.

Boobs must be pretty far into the movie. I can only stay awake for about 15 mins. I am sure seeing boobs would have at least kept me up 5 more.

Now that I see its not worth watching I will relieve myself of trying to get through it.

BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR !

OMG yes !!!! Friesian !!!!

OK..................... Where to start?
First of all, can anyone explain to me what the &%*&^#$(&^ this movie is about? You know what forget it, I do not want to know. WOOOW. I'm getting nervous just thinking of how horrendous this film is. THIS MOVIE MAKES ME WISH A PLANET WAS CRASHING DOWN ON MY FACE!@!@$(#$@. Anyways... all in all it was THE WORST movie I have ever seen and should you want to enter a deep depression please... go ahead and watch it.
5 things i learned about Melancholia;
1. Taking a golf cart to escape a planet-on-planet collision does NOT work!
2. Kids can make instruments that determine whether a planet will crash down onto earth...
3. Food in this movie taste like ash.
4. naked bathing in the light of an impending planetary crash gets peeping sisters pissed!
5. Suicide pills are OTC drugs.

I almost clawed my eyes out driven mad by irritation while watching this shitty movie. Me and my girlfriend both let out huge sighs of relief when it was over, we both were hoping that Dunsts character was the first of all mankind to die from the impact. The second arthouse film Ive seen in as many weeks that was really bad the first being Drive. And yes we understood what was going on, the script was still shit, and Dunst was crap I literally hated her face by the end of the movie. Her chewing the scenery in an attempt to portray this depressed waste, who for no reason is gifted with total omniscience, gave me a headache. If u want to see a great performance, an actor pushing himself to new boundaries and beyond, see Laurence R. Harvey in Human Centipede 2, say what u want about the subject matter, that guy was fuckin amazing. His acting provoked me to giggle deviously thru most of the film he was so good. And for the record I loved Antichrist and Valhalla Rising, but Drive and Melancholia are def two duds from two talented directors, maybe they should stick to directing and let someone else write for a while.

The script and plot lousy and boring and Dunsts performance was crap I literally hated her face by the end of the movie. Her chewing the scenery in an attempt to portray someone crippled by depression, resulted in her portraying just an asshole... who for no reason all of the sudden we are told is gifted with total omniscience.

And for the record I loved Antichrist and Valhalla Rising, but Drive and Melancholia are two duds from two talented directors. Artistically speaking they both have theyre moments visually, drive had more potential cuz there was more to the story it was just executed poorly in many areas, Melancholias story is just bad, bad bad...bad

I watched it, but yeah, I was disappointed with it there movie was slow and drawn out and a lot of it didn't make sense

A bit slow yes, but what a wierd "LOST" like environment, would of been better if Tarentino made it, good idea , but open for a remake fur shur....

the Wedding nuptual pass off then turn about in the sand bunker on the golf course was an intereting take...but Oooh Sand in your clothes.... not a fun place for that

THE MOST boring movie I have ever seen....My husband was able to watch it thru but I fell asleep. He told me I didn't miss anything. I was so excited to see it too because I am interested in the whole nibiru and planet X thing...but god that was an awful movie. SNore snore snore....

It conveyed the surreality of something of this magnitude happening in reality, which was what it intended. However, it could have completely lost "Part I" and achieved the same affect in a one hour clip.
The movie had an incredible premise with much potential, but was horribly executed.

Fastest way to see it

This movie is great for thanksgiving because it does the job of Tryptophan without having to eat some crappy dry turkey.
