District 9: perhaps the WORST movie I have ever seen

It may be #1 this week, but I bet next week it will drop like rock. Word of mouth is going to kill this movie. Had I not been taken by friends I would have walked out. Had I been watching this movie on dvd I would have ejected it after half an hour. I go to movie like I thought this one would be like to be entertained. (Did anyone go to the Lord of the Ring movies or even King Kong to discover some deep meaning or message in the films?). There was not a single character, particularly the main character that I cared at all what happened to them.

I give it 2 big thumbs down and I am usually quite generous about movies. I am very disappointed that Peter Jackson would associate himself with this film. If you like it, fine, but it my opinion--it sucked, and I didn't pay a dime to see it. Add to all of this a half hour before the movie started consisted of watching commercials, commercials about tv shows, and then the coming previews for the next 3 years.

3. No spoilers, but it starts out like a documentary then it goes on and you wait for the movie,

and you wait and wait and wait thinking that any movie an actual movie would start. I was looking at my watch every 15 minutes. I was in no way entertained for what I supposed was going to be an entertaining and action filled movie. It did have gore and puking. It did have a Transformers type movie toward the end, kind of like Ridley from Alien in the big robot suit thing fighting the mother alien. Not very original. Bits also like Alien Nation.

7. Wait and see what the receipts are like for this very Unoriginal movie for its second week.

Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 07:48 PM by elocs

It's ok if you liked it, not everybody likes broccoli and that doesn't mean it is a bad veggie. But I am a big Peter Jackson fan and went to it with an open mind, prepared to be entertained because I thought this was going to be an action movie. In my opinion, I thought it sucked and it would have been the 3rd movie I ever walked out on in over 50 years of going to the movies. That's simply my point of view and it is as valid as your loving the movie. If a movie needs to be explained to be appreciated, then it has a problem.

I don't go to movies to get them. If I have to work to get them, then it is not entertaining.

10. It's ok for those who like the movie. I just think this one will drop like a rock

from word of mouth. I was very, very disappoint and I was very prepared to like it and to be entertained. I do not think it was very original either.

I was given the choice to see this movie or GI Joe and I picked this one. I guess now GI Joe wouldn't have been so bad after all.

11. Not the worst, but HUGELY overrated.

First half was decent.

Turned into some kind of mechwarrior action drek for the conclusion.

Pretty disappointing.

12. Here's a review that reflects how I felt about this movie:

http://www.examiner.com/x-488-Movie-Examiner~y2009m8d15-Movie-review-District-9-avoid-this-movie-at-all-costs

Bad: I swore to myself that I wouldn't use the word "shit" or any variation of the term in this movie review. So now that I've tied both hands painfully behind my back review-wise let the verbal beating begin...

For the first ten minutes of District 9 we're treated to a sci-fi film opening with so much promise, so much outstanding potential - I could understand why folks were going ga-ga over this flick. The aliens have arrived. They're in bad shape. We've put them in camps. Everything looks documented and real. Whatever bad things I have to say concerning District 9, panning the film's opening wont' be one of them.

But as the movie rolled forward I started noticing that the acting seemed a bit off. Not totally rotten just yet, but definitely strolling in that direction. Which didn't seem to compute. This is a serious sci-fi flick right? It's got Peter Jackson's name on the poster right? The opening ten minutes of mockumentary footage were so convincing, so absolutely impressive in scale and dramatic value that the movie following them must be a movie of singular quality right? So why's everybody acting like we're in a low-grade zombie picture? How did this major sci-fi event film, (as it was advertised) suddenly become a cheese-grade splatter movie? And why weren't any of us warned about this?

District 9 is a bad movie. I'd say it's a bad B-movie but that's not totally correct either. It's a bad B-video-game-movie. If you've played any video games you're already aware that it doesn't take much to craft a convincing plot for a medium based solely on zoning out and killing stuff. You might need a dude who can shoot fire out of his eyes, or can meld weapons to his flesh, or has a retractable claw for an arm, and that's pretty much all it will take to get your common video-gamer on the couch and crushing buttons. But I doubt any sane filmmaker would ever base an entire film on a flimsy device like that. Or better stated, I "used" to doubt that. With District 9 I'm not so sure any more.

14. Was it the bad acting you liked, or the unoriginal plot elements you loved?

I found the acting bad and the plot was unoriginal an boring. Like I said, it started out like a documentary that I thought was laying the foundation for the movie and then went on and on. I can't remember the last time I looked at my watch so much in a move, and that is a bad sign.

I still say that if a movie is needed to be "explained" or told how we just don't "get" it, then that movie has problems. It previews led one to believe that it was going to be an entertaining action movie, and to me it was not. To top it off, I could have cared less if the main character lived or died. I did care about the little alien kid though, that was it.

38. You say in your OP that it's just your opinion (which is fine) but then here you imply

that someone who DOES like the movie must blind to bad acting or an unoriginal plot. I haven't seen the movie but if Curtland1015 liked it, then that's his perfectly valid opinion. Clearly he saw something in the movie that you didn't.

53. Clearly, by my statement about bad acting I am reinforcing MY opinion about the movie.

Yes, people who saw the movie and liked it and the acting have just as valid opinions as mine (along with the review I posted earlier in the thread by a reviewer who also did not like it).

With all the people, and yes even the majority, who are orgasmic about this movie I simply wanted to indicate that not everyone agrees and there is another side to consider. As Democrats we should at least be open to disagreement even if it is disagreement with the majority.

16. Then you should consider seeing more movies. Or not.

District 9 isn't the best sci fi movie ever, but it's a solid B+. It's a hell of a lot better than Transformers, GI Joe, Star Trek 2009, Independence Day, Men in Black, Armageddon or most of the other summer dreck.

The fact that you include the commercials before the movie in your critique suggests that you're really stretched for things to complain about. (Yes, they're annoying but every movie has them so how is that relevant to a review of District 9?)

Just some perspective for anyone who might decide not to see the movie based on this thread: District 9 has 95% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I think that's overgenerous, but this is *faaar* from the worst movie of the year.

30. I have been going to watching movies for over 50 years now.

This is simply my opinion about this movie and I have clearly stated that. This was advertised as an action and entertaining movie and I found it to be neither. The commercials before the movie is one reason why I only attend the movies maybe twice a year, preferring to watch them on my own 7' screen in my own home theater.

Personally, I don't care if 99% of the people liked this movie. I was hugely disappointed and was very prepared to very much like it. Again, is there anything difficult about "opinion" to understand? Evidently.

32. In the subject of my OP I did say that "perhaps" it was one of the worst movies I had seen.

It's seldom thought that I have been this disappointed in a movie, mainly because with Peter Jackson's name on it I was expecting a more entertaining movie with better acting and not a pseudo-documentary that dragged on and on.

34. No, I'm presenting an alternative viewpoint, an OPINION that not EVERYONE liked the movie.

This is way more of a difficult concept than I thought it would be here.

Read the title of my OP. Did I say THE or was it PERHAPS the worst? Big difference. Also, as I have written before I have gone to the movies for over 50 years and I must have seen thousands of them and I have only walked out of just a few at the theater and could not this time because friends had treated to see this one (I even picked it out based upon the previews, that was a mistake).

44. Goodbye and ignore. I don't need to hear from you anymore.

If you got a nasty reply from me, then you probably deserved it. I simply said I don't like the movie and thought it was one of the worst I have seen. If people liked it, then it's fine by me.

I hope I've made it clear that I don't give a fuck what you think. So you can guess what I am saying you can do with yourself.

But different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I've been looking forward to seeing district 9 since I saw the first trailer months ago. I'm going to go in the next few days. I can usually tell if I'm going to like or hate a movie just from the trailer. And I think I'm going to like it.

51. I said "perhaps" it is the worst movie I've ever seen.

Maybe it would have more accurate to say that it was the movie in which I had high hopes that very much disappointed me. Had I known what it actually was I might have approached it with a different mindset, rather than waiting and waiting for the documentary approach to end.

The bottom line is that not everyone enjoys exactly the same thing or sees things the same way. Wouldn't it be boring if they did?

35. Your opinion is perfectly valid for you. My beef is that I thought the advertising was false,

that it was going to be an action and entertaining movie. I still contend that if you have to explain the movie and how people didn't get it, then it cannot really be that good. Really good movies do not need a lot of explaining.

43. Yeah, I actually missed all the advertising and I guarantee I would have skipped it

if I had. I'm glad I missed the advertisement because that film spoke to me on so many levels and it caused me to muse quite a bit about gaza and iraq and every other place where people ghettoize other people.

I went to the 1:30PM first showing of this movie on Friday and the house was 95% packed and everyone seem to have been enjoying themselves. The story telling, special effects/CGI were outstanding.

Best movie I have seen this year and well worth my $8.75

29. My butt hurt halfway through

Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 08:27 AM by JustABozoOnThisBus

That's how I know it's a bad movie. In a good movie, my butt doesn't hurt, or I'm too involved to notice.

To be fair, the second half of the movie was better, but still pretty bad.

Oh, yeah, the commercials. And previews. And a break between previews to show commercials. Just...seems...endless.

On the bright side, a couple of interesting previews. One about a prison / asylum called Shutter Island, another about some sort of vampire circus called Cirque du Something or Other. Both will go on my list of netflix things to get.

:hi:

Edit to add: we went to an early showing. Later, went out for dinner and I had the chicken scampi. Delicious.

Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 11:31 AM by elocs

I still think that District 9, for all of its intellectual message for all of us to "get" will see a big drop off in ticket sales in its second week. I have been to movies that the audience thought was great and even in this day and age they would actually applaud at the end. I think nowadays with the cost of going to a first run movie most people stay until the bitter end to see if they can salvage anything for the money they paid to see it.

On edit: yes, the second half of the movie was better, but I had to wait through half of the movie to get to that point.

37. So for those intending to see this film, be warned, the opening bit that is like a documentary

is not short but goes on for a long time. If you believe, as I mistakenly did, that this opening documentary type bit was just a short set up for what becomes the actual movie, it isn't.

54. Well, I love Sci-Fi films and by now it is clear I did not like this one

or maybe more accurately my expectations were hugely let down. I was not expecting a "message" movie or that I would be required to "get it". I went simply to be entertained by a good (as I surmised from the previews) Sci-Fi flick.

I'm glad you liked it though. I will be interested to see how the box office receipts are for District 9 in its second week.

55. I thought it was a very good movie (light spoilers)............

Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 01:21 PM by CrownPrinceBandar

and I got just what I expected: a morality tale about segregation and the damages of apartheid. I liked that the director threw in many reminders of that shameful time in human history:

- The Prawns arrival in the late 1980's - some of the worst apartheid-related violence was in the mid to late 80's.
- The name District 9 - District 6 in Cape Town was the site of the forced removal of over 60,000 blacks in the 1970's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_Six
- the shameful living conditions in District 9 are very similar those in the segregated townships in JoBurg and Cape Town.
- The Prawn language contained many similar clicking-sound aspects to the Bantu tongue, a prominent target of apartheid.(thanks Roger Ebert)

As far as being successful goes, I think history will judge it as a success. Over its first weekend, District 9 has already recouped all of its production costs and people are still going to see it. If anything, it shows that films with relatively limited budgets can play with the big boys. I also don't believe that box-office take necessarily predicates a good movie. There have been plenty of good movies that bombed at the box office.

But in the big scheme of things, it is after all, just a movie.
