Summary: Boring and ridiculous
Comment: What is it all these people are praising? I saw nothing of the quality which they seem to see. Rock Hudson was ridiculous! James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor are too young to play their roles, no matter how much silver the make-up people spray into their hair. It was so long and boring. The blocking was clumsy and stilted. What else can I say? I could only get through one hour of this disaster. Academy Awards? Give me a break.

Summary: James Dean is a genius in this Giant Bore!
Comment: I love a good sprawling epic. This, however, is not one of them. It is boring, dated, and just plain bad. There is nothing engaging about Hudson or Taylor in this film. It excruciatingly plods along.
The two stars I gave it, are solely Dean's. It's sad this virtuoso performance, his last, is a part of this meandering mess. Dean plays a tragic figure in this movie. Plus, he is utterly convincing as an older man. Too bad his character wasn't the center of his own story.
My advice, if you are a Dean fan: rent it and fast forward to his parts. Skip the seemingly unending saga of the Boring and the Beautiful.

Summary: only good at parts with James Dean..
Comment: this movie is 4 hours long. it is a boring story, and only good at the parts with James Dean in them. but other then the parts with James Dean in them, this movie is really long and dull.

Giant is a movie of huge scale and grandeur in which three generations of land-rich Texans love swagger connive and clash in a saga of family strife racial bigotry and conflict between cattle barons and newly rich oil tycoons. It's also one of the most beloved works of director George Stevens who won an Academy AwardO* for this film one of 10 Oscar nominations** the film earned.Running Time: 201 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569706903
