Once Upon a Time in America. Maybe I watched a bad version but it made little sense and the ending was dreadful.
Reading about it right now on wikipedia I probably saw the ‘condensed’ version which was savaged by the critics:
Some critics compared shortening the film to shortening Richard Wagner’s operas, saying that works of art that are meant to be long should be given the respect they deserve. In his 1984 review, Roger Ebert gave the uncut version four stars out of four and wrote that it was “an epic poem of violence and greed”, but described the American theatrical version as a “travesty”. Furthermore, he gave the American theatrical version one star out of four, calling it “an incomprehensible mess without texture, timing, mood, or sense”.

It is the most overrated movie of all time. Four hours of nothing… every single scene is 5times longer than it needs to be.
