Movie Rating

The Front Runner is a tricky one to sum up. We've got some excellent acting talent giving solid performances but *shrugs shoulders* it's just another average story. Perhaps it holds more weight with an American audience.

Much like Colette this one felt very long, but that feeling hit much earlier into the screening. I wasn't bored, but there was a lot of this film. I'm not even sure that taking anything out would improve my feelings about it.

I could honestly finish my review there, I made no notes at all. There was nothing that made this film stand out above anything else in this genre. It's a well made film about an average story, and that's its problem.

What you should do

It's a good film but it can definitely wait until it's streaming.

I have extremely mixed feelings about this new iteration of Dracula. At some points, I really liked it, and others I found it a slog. But, I was compelled to finish it within 24 hours.
I think my biggest problem was the pacing of it all. It seemed rough and uneven. It was all pretty predictable, the 'twists' weren't very twisty.
The thing I liked the most was the snark from Dracula, it was entertaining. I was also thrilled (no sarcasm), that Mina wasn't a huge part of the story, and that Lucy didn't appear until the end.
I don't even know whether to recommend this or not to people. I guess if you have 4 1/2 hours to spare and you like vamps, you'd most likely be entertained.

I tried with this but gave up after episode one... Which felt about 3 hours long. Not a fan of Dracula's accent either.

@Dean Honestly, I was going to stop after ep 1, but that dang Netflix auto-play (Netflix has the rights in the US) got me. I went to the restroom, came back, and was pulled back in because I couldn't figure out what was going on. I guess that's a compliment to the makers of the series.
