most overrated film ever made

Rating: 4/10 (25 February 2006)

I am absolutely stunned at the reviews here, are there really that many closeted gays out there ? The comments crack me up - "exquisite silences"- LOL. Another way of saying that there are huge chunks of this movie where not only does nothing happen, no one says anything. Heath Ledger getting critical acclaim... for NOT talking, as he is on screen for a good 1:45 and says about 100 words.
10 years from now, or maybe a lot less, people are going to wonder if the Academy was collectively on drugs when talking about how this thing easily won Best Picture.
We do know the answer to the question "how many professional film critics are gay", which is obviously a helluva lot. there is no other explanation for the high praise of this snooze-fest.
