This movie was a waste two hours of my time.

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2006)

"I wish I knew how to quit you." How about, "I wish I could go back in time and un-watch this movie."
Okay, this movie went from mediocre, to insulting, to dull, to depressing.
The only characters I really sympathised with were the wives Ledger and Gyenhaal's characters and the parents at the end.
It's essentially a movie in which Ang Lee attempts to glorify, or at least excuse, dishonesty and infidelity on a grand scale. The scripting and dialogue was dull, the plot was vapid and uninspired, and none of the scenes really flowed. The sex scene was nothing short of ridiculous - what was with those idiotic grunts? And why did they have to beat each other up just to make out? Because they were BIG TOUGH COWBOY men? Ridiculous.
Even the soundtrack was a letdown. The only thing I particularly enjoyed about this movie was the cinematography - the visuals were excellent, and some of the pans and tracking shots were excellent. But a movie being "pretty" isn't enough of a reason to watch it.
Anyways, in summary, don't watch Brokeback Mountain. It's the year's biggest stinker and we're still in January.
