I am a movie addict and love most movies. Also, being very time pressed usually don't write movie review, but WAGNER - Richard Burton should be ashamed to have made this movie! He made several movies in his later career that were excellent, but this movie was absolutely awful. Don't waste your time and if you respect Richard Burton (which I do) don't see this movie!

Burton and Redgrave are always phenomenal. The movie was informative concerning Wagner's life, both personal and professional. I was very disappointed with the pacing, however. It was very long and drawn out, almost painful to finish. I understand that it was meant as an epic but even by section it was wearisome. Had I to do it over again, I would not have spent the time on it.

I was curious about this movie--featuring the great Richard Burton and a stellar cast--so I ordered the first disk. While I wanted to like the series, it is very slow going and feels suffocating and ponderous. Here, the composer Wagner is an unpleasant man who wants to unify Germany under one leader. Of course, this paves the way for Adolf Hitler. So much Teutonic symbolism is piled on... and the series is 5 hours long. So the first disk will be the only one I'll watch. Too much of a time investment for something so dull.
