This is the worse film that I've ever seen (**SPOILER ALERT**)

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2009)

This movie is trash for so many reasons that I can't fathom why so many are championing it aside from the possibilities that 1)they have totally underdeveloped critical faculties concerning film and/or racism or 2)good special fx with a touch of gore and big guns trump good screen writing for them. I know some of you have probably already stopped reading this now, but those who dare continue, lemme break it down.
1) D9 is supposed to be about racism yet is totally bigoted against Nigerians. There's not one redeeming Nigerian character in the whole movie. Nigerians are shown as thieving, superstitious, alien-eating and f*cking (the hookers) savages. The actors don't even do real Nigerian accents (and why are they subtitled speaking English?) and use a Swahili word for "white man" at one point--Nigerians don't speak Swahili!
2) Moreover, every non-Nigerian black in the movie is subservient. None of their characters are drawn out, none have substantial lines, not even Wikus's 2nd in command. Why didn't he play a larger part after Wikus was declared a fugitive, either as a bad guy or uncovering the truth?
3) All Wikus basically says the second half of the movie is a variation of "f*ck." I don't care about cursing, but it's just weak writing.
4) Filmmaker manipulation: The "good, smart" alien is one who's most human - wears full, gender-appropriate clothes, speaks eloquently (better that the Nigerians!), has, somehow, the only kid in the whole camp (aside from selling the audience with cuteness, no refuge squat has only kid. NONE.) Why not give him a pet kitten too?
5) Every damn action movie cliché in the play book is used here. And Wikus turning into a alien, logic aside, was predictable as hell.
