So I saw this when it firt came out 40 years ago (yes, I'm that old). At the time it was a great succeess, at least where I lived.
Fast forward to present time. Hubby and I are watching it as I type.... Oh, dear. What a difference 40 years make. Now I find it slow, boring, and interminable. How they managed to make an action film that moves at glacial speed is a feat in itself, though one hardly worthy of praise. And Margot Kidder as a woman so bewitching that she's worth turning back time for (and by such method!)? Are you kidding me?
Anyway, I agree with everyone who panned this film. Not even nostalgia could make me give it more than 1 star. Some things are better left buried in the past.
