It isn't boring or dull. But confusing. It doesn't help with the additional French accent thrown into the mix, and the lack of Chinese subtitles. The pacing feels weird and cluttered. Audrey Tautou has a few very bad dialogues, but since she is soooo beautiful never mind lah. What surprises me most is that the French actually talk to each other in French, not English. That's something you don't see much in Hollywood movies.
Needless to say, the production values are top-notch.
It's quite lengthy at 2 1/2 hours, but still okay as it's an adaption. The movie won't be liked by the general public that's for sure. It's by no means bad, but not very good either. But if given the chance, I will definitely watch it again, just to try to get the whole picture.
