¿Otra forma?
¿Is there another way of translating into English the same sentence? I have the solution, but I'd like to know another way. Thanks.

Hacía meses que no veías una película tan aburrida, ¿verdad?

My book's solution: You hadn't seen such a boring film for months, had you?

I'd like to follow the order of the Spanish sentence

It's been months since you saw such a boring film, hasn't it?

It's been months since you've seen a movie that boring, right?
It's been months since you've seen a film that draggy, true?
a flick that slow, am I wrong?
ponderous and sleep inducing can also be used in place of boring.

Thanks, Poli and pjt

Could I say "so boring". If I did, I think I can't say "a so boring film", but "a film so boring", can I?

I want to contribute with your question, I hopeyou take in mind my example.

You haven't seen movies boring for months.

This is a simple translation.
