Brokeback Mountain was a short story that was easily able to be adapted into a feature length film, despite covering decades of its characters' lives.
This movie was based on a short story and totally feels like it.
Desperate filler after desperate filler is the experience of this movie as we go through a parade of bland characters with null back-stories that only makes you more and more desperate to see someone get pecked to death.
The long awaited scenes of avian aggression and suspense are pretty well realized but are truly not worth the wait.
There is nothing to this except feathered friends inexplicably turning vicious which is kind of the point but after sitting through so much that was inconsequential it all feels insulting.
No, I do not feel more empathy for these characters after seeing something of their human lives. No, it does not feel more terrifying to see regular life suddenly turn evil.
Hitchcock isn't a particularly amazing film-maker; partly because mostly he just directs but he is a typical director who lucked out with some good scripts but THIS is not one of them.
