I'm not trying to be a troll or anything here, but when I was looking at some old threads about movies it seemed like half the people on these forums were in love with the movie "Heat", so I rented it.
There were a couple REALLY good gun segments of the movie, but I thought the rest was really drawn out and boring, even as far as dramas go. As much as I love Al Pacino, I thought he was overacting and his whole story was annoying.
I could watch a few scenes over and over admittedly, but I didn't think the rest of it was that great. If I've got three hours to kill I'd rather watch the Godfather, but I could say that about a lot of movies.
So what is so great about "Heat"? I think it would have been a much better movie if they could have cut it to 2 hours.
