Was not impressed.

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2006)

I went against the advice of my fiancé and other's around me. I didn't really like the idea of this movie. I just had to see a movie that was "Good" enough to receive 8 Oscar nods.
I was disappointed. I felt like I wasted money on a political movie that had no entertainment value what so ever.
Numerous years ago I walked out of Interview with a Vampire asking for a refund. I came really close to walking out of this movie. People say that Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal where brilliant. I found that both actors where on par when compared to their previous works which where not that great.
There is not an ounce of quality to Brokeback Mountain. This movie is pure hype. Movies like this have come and gone and slowly fade away once the hype wears off. It might win an academy award if it does, it won't matter. It's a par movie that has massive political motives behind it.
People get tired of movies like this. I hope the academy sees through the political hype. Good Night, and Good Luck is a far superior movie and is probably going to get passed over for this average movie.
Stay away; it's not worth the hype.
