I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle, I didn't mind parts of it, but I kinda agree with parts of the review. I could say its way overrated, but its not since so many people seem to like it. I thought it was pretty crude in pretty much every way possible though. Acting was hammed to the max, cgi looked average and the whole disintegration of a micro society concept, due to a religious nut job, was poorly executed.

Remove Mrs. Carmody, add some more explosions, and throw in some sort of shopping for weapons montage around the one hour mark and it would've been much better. Most people seemed to love the whole Mrs. Carmody storyline though, but honestly, I thought the execution of that storyline was pretty pathetic.

I also heard it looks and feels alot better when watched in black and white, which is the way the director intended it to be seen....I might've just made that up though.:confused:
