Totally Overrated!

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2018)

I had great expectation when I purchased to book. Couldn't finish it. So boring and too much monologue that didn't reveal any of the depth of the character. No drama at all. The whole book is dull and boring.
Then I was hoping the movie would have more drama and be more interesting. Yes, indeed. But not by much. For one thing, I found the two characters flat and not engaging at all. I didn't get it why they would connect. They didn't even show lust in their eyes, despite their serious ACTing of lust.
Well, I attribute half of the dullness to the book/story (there is not much to develop for the movie) and half of the dullness to the director/acting.
And it is rated 8.4/10, while Brokeback Mountain is 7.7/10. Go figure. Something is seriously wrong here. A lot of robot reviewers here on IMDB maybe? Or something is seriously wrong with this world.
