Unbeliveably terrible

Rating: 2/10 (13 May 2006)

In my opinion, this movie was terrible. Yes, the romantic element was possibly moving, if not slightly nauseating. But the movie as a whole came across as a more controversial driven piece than an entertaining piece of drama. The acting was average, although Jake deserves an honourable mention. I am in no means homophobic, as some of my best friends are homosexual. I simply believe that a movie should be based more on the content than the controversial reviews and comments made afterwards. The relationship between the two men wasn't emotionally driven. To me, it suddenly came out of no where. I witnessed neither build up, nor development in their romantic relationship until suddenly, they going at in the back of a tent. Their relationship was based purely on lust and sex, and the actors on screen chemistry simply destroyed any hope I had of a good movie. I left the cinema feeling empty and unsatisfied. I'd just spent a tenner on that? Overall, I look back on Brokeback Mountain as a disappointing, badly acted, undeserving waste of time.There was so much Ang Lee could have done, but in my eyes he failed, Oscar or no Oscar.
