A very boring film

I liked the series Sex and the City very much.Its brilliant screenplays made sharp feminist commentaries,and they also told intelligent and well structured stories.However,the movie of Sex and the City had not interested me too much,because I thought they were going to make a forced product made with the intention of making some money and not with the intention of telling a good story.So,I passed seeing this film on a cinema and I decided to rent it.My expectations about this movie were not wrong.Sex and the City (the film,obviously) resulted to be a very boring movie without a good story.Instead of telling a solid story,this movie only shows predictable elements from the romantic comedies and an obsessive emphasis on the fashion.That two elements had also appeared on the series,but they had as an endorsement realistic and intelligent stories.But,on this film,they do not have an endorse,so it bores pretty easily.Plus,this movie is excessively long.145 minutes are way too much for a movie like this,so I felt the running time from this film had been like 4 hours.I knew this film was going to disappoint me and I was not wrong.Sex and the City is a movie which bored me a lot and it results extremely long,while the series was enormously entertaining and their running time was perfect.I do not recommend this very weak movie.
