Better than IMDb led me to believe

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2006)

This isn't bad at all y'know. Quite enjoyable, didn't make me cringe or yawn much, unlike most comic book adaptations.
Before watching this I checked it out on IMDb, noted the 6.5 score then was puzzled by the pages and pages of negative reviews. A lot of people who don't like this film at all seem to be going through the reviews clicking 'yes' to agree with the bad ones.
I can imagine a Christian seeing this film as blasphemous. As an atheist, the madness of the Angel Gabriel, wanting to release hell on earth to bring us closer to God, sounds very much like all the fundamentalist loonies you've ever heard. Maybe all the 1 out of 10 reviews here are from the Bible Belt? So, I reckon the IMDb reviews pages default should be 'Date' rather than 'Best'.
