Ok, I can understand how it can be boring to some, but I really don't get how it can possibly belong in this thread. Have you seen other Malick films? They are all slow, contemplative (even The Thin Red Line), but visually stunning and poetic. And his visuals are more than just an illustration for the story, it's his main tool of expression, music also. The New World is maybe not as good as 'Badlands' or 'The Thin Red Line', but it's still a very good film.

Meet Joe Black
The movie is 178mins long but it seems like so much longer than that.

Now, that's a bad film and Brad Pitt, other than being eye candy, was completely awful in it. It's not so much that it's boring, it's just stupid.
