Even the popcorn looked bored during District 9.

If exposition were a contact sport, District 9 would be banned for life.

If District 9 was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

District 9 treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in District 9?
Look, I wanted to love District 9. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: District 9 is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, District 9 would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: District 9's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of District 9 and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in District 9 actually is?
Rewatched District 9 last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
