Bad Taste - Superb Movie! Aliens attacking humans in New Zealand, and the government send in "The Boys" to sort them out. Excellent 5 stars from me! Not a single "babe" in it, but a few explosions and an exploding sheep.

Yes I've seen "Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" all were superb. That's why I'm surprised Jackson is involved with this lemon. Other than a few effects at the end, "District 9" had nothing enjoyable. G.I. Joe was infinitely more entertaining. But opinions vary and that's what makes the world go round, so be it.

My opinion is that District 9 is a mediocre movie which rates below dozens of Sci-Fi movies I have seen.

I was bored throughout the first half of the film.

I'm considering watching the film, however, I find films polluted with philosophy and political thoughts in the subtext sometimes spoils the film.

I think alot of people have gone overboard in praise for the movie but i think this also reflects peoples desire to watch intelligent movies which there is a real lack of in scifi these days. (transformers / independance day)

p.s i dont know how you could "get" bladerunner but not get D9. Maybe you didnt get blade runner at all and just saw it as some cop chasing "baddies".
It's much less a part of the movie than the trailers would lead you to believe....
