I guess age needs to be put into context.
I was 17 when it was collected as a graphic novel in 1987.
Wikki now describes it as a nonlinear narrative, jumping in plot, time & space...plus the inclusion of Tales Of The Black Freighter...it was a long, challenging read.

The source material?
Miller didn't write a movie script, he wrote & illustrated a graphic novel without the knowledge or inkling that one day it would be converted into a film.
IMO you can't blame a comic book for not being something that it wasn't meant to be.
i'm not blaming it for anything. I actually liked 300. I just think that most complaints can be attributed to the comics, not the movie. Obviously excepting for things like the slow-mo, sure.

I see, I did not know tedious was a word to measure length. It's a thing that can happen since I'm not an English native speaker.
it usually is used to mean bad and long, not just one or the other, but it's a flexible term.

The only complaints I ever heard/read was from insecure guys claiming it was homo-erotic.
