Am I One Of The Few People Who Actually Liked The Whole Movie?


7+ rating on IMDB yet this board seems to almost universally pan the movie. What gives?

I liked the concept of the movie. I liked the trailer. From the beginning, I kind of liked where it was going. By the time I got to the end I really hated it.

It seemed to take itself too seriously and not focus enough on being a dark comedy. I started to dislike the characters after they went from killing "bad" people to just killing anyone that was annoying to them. They seemed like really picky, irritable people.

They got way too whiny, mostly the female character, about things like high fives and what types of bands people liked.

I was expecting something like Fight Club or something more satirical and over the top.

I loved it. I didn't completely love the girl trying to go with almost Bill Murray but her little subplot didn't ruin the movie for me.

All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...

I loved the movie. Not just the obvious, but the whole relationship -story as well. I think the whole thing was not only hilarious, but over all well done and very perceptive.

The movie has almost 100% positive rating among humans, much less so among *beep* Once you take into account the facts that most of its audience is in USA, and 97% of US population are *beep* (leaving only 3% for humans), 7+ rating actually looks perfectly logical (if not unexpectedly high).

I thought it was great!
Who in their right mind has ever seen the pathetic nature of un"reality" TV and thought about killing every one of the poor bastards? And then the people that watch them and keep them on the air are even worse.
I don't know why I have just today heard of this movie. It was awesome! I couldn't quit laughing when the blood bag of baby exploded. Just brilliant. They gave birth to a flesh and blood air raid siren!!!!
8+ was my rating. Most definitely will watch it again.
