This film disappointed me, not anything special

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

Let me first start out by saying I'm not homophobic or critical of this film just because of the content. Actually Philadelphia is one of my favorite dramas and i thought it dealt with the homosexuality issue very well. This film just didn't appeal to me, because although the characters were interesting and it was obvious that i would have understood much more if i had read the book, the flow of the film, the events and style of direction were all just too slow and bland for my liking. I was uninterested part of the time, the dialogues were decent, i thought Ledger did better with the acting than Gyllenhaal, which was surprising as i don't consider Ledger the better actor. This film was written well, and the cinematography was beautiful but the director failed to make it an extraordinary picture in my eyes. 7/10
