I wasn't able to finish this movie.


I really liked Happiness, i thought it was one of the most disturbing movies i had ever scene, but i liked it. But for some reason I couldn't not get into this movie. It bored me more then anything that i have ever scene. I got the feeling that it was trying to hard. Butr then again i didn't finish, i couldn't finish it. Is it worth finishing?

Despite the unbelievable fact that in some countries one or two famous critics can actually make or break a movie (insane!), everyone has a unique and personal opinion about any movie after watching it.

Anyone's reply to your question ("Is it worth finishing?") will simply be their opinion. No one can tell you what to think.

The only way to find out if it worth finishing for you - is to finish it. Or you will never know.

(If this is of any help, the fact that you enjoyed his movie "Happiness" indicates that, even if you decide it's not as good, you may at least appreciate it if you give it a chance)

I know that since we're talking about movies, it's easy to get caught up in a particular jargon, but please note the difference in the homophones 'seen' and 'scene'.
A 'scene' could be a particular, self-contained segment of a film (among other possible definitions).
'Seen' is the past participle form of the verb 'see', which usually refers to a optical sensory perception.
So, you could say, 'That movie contained one of the most disturbing scenes I had ever seen.'
Or, 'I haven't seen the final scene, so should I bother watching it?'
In which case, my advice would be 'yes'. Don't watch part of a (any) movie. That's like looking only at a 5x5 inch square in the bottom corner of an Ansel Adams photograph. It's ART. Take it all in.
Sorry to be a punk w/ my grammar lesson, but you should be a little more thorough with your self-editing.
