Was it really that bad?

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2005)

I hear a lot of complaints about this movie and i have to say that none have really made that much sense. first to just blame the director is way out of line since Paul Anderson has made films that would normally fail and make the half way decent. if you have a problem with the way the movie was made talk to Fox since they kept a tight grip on the way the film was made and the success of it will determine whether or not more get made. Let it be know that i am a huge fan of both the franchises. I have read all the books and seen the movies many times. I believe i have a good idea of the whole story.
This was a very well made movie. It had all the little things i wanted and even though i was scared about the PG-13 rating it still was fun to watch. I never felt that anything was left out. Now i loved how the movie followed the basic idea of the books and comics, of which i think was lost on those who never read the books or comics. without that background i can understand why someone to think it was cheesy. My problem is when the fans say all this. Granted we all have our opinions but i am a pretty hardcore fan and i didn't leave the theater unhappy at all in fact i was very impressed. now I'm waiting for more:) this comment is intended for any fans to come out and explain to how they thought this movie was bad. i would like to discuss this.
and lay off Paul Anderson he is a great director and a true fan of the franchise.
thx all:)
