[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Hogan's Heroes?

Director clearly thought Hogan's Heroes was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Hogan's Heroes is the most overrated film of the decade

Look, I wanted to love Hogan's Heroes. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Everyone praising the Hogan's Heroes performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Hogan's Heroes's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Honestly, Hogan's Heroes would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
