Now that I think about it, the first time I watched it, I was a little bored with it, too. It was hyped up so much that I think I was expecting something very plot-heavy that moved quickly and was mind-blowing that way.

Since that first viewing, some 20 years ago, I've watched it a few more times without those initial expectations and really love it. I love slow-paced films where you can really soak up the atmosphere. That kind of thing isn't for everyone, though, so I can see why others wouldn't enjoy it.
