It was far too slow. I don’t mind a slow-paced movie but this was unbearable. Even my husband who usually enjoys a slow paced movie more than I do thought it was gruelingly slow. And (warning, here comes the controversial part) I feel like it was only so popular because it’s breaking barriers when it comes to homosexuality. I applaud that part of it but I wish they could have done so with a decent movie.

And please would someone tell me why Heath Ledger was incapable of moving his lips? I understand character development and all but that was just silly.
