boring biography

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2009)

I like biographies when the subject is interesting. I found this movie to be boring; it's just about politics. There is no action, no drama, just politics arguing for gay rights. Sean Penn does a good acting job, but I wouldn't have given him the Oscar because his character isn't interesting enough. And I agree with those that say they wish the first few minutes did not give away the ending. I knew nothing about Milk before seeing this, but after the movie's intro, you know exactly how it's going to end.
The only real drama is a suicide but the ramifications of that is over with in a few minutes.
FINAL VERDICT: Over 2 hours of boring politics. I say skip it.
