Perhaps your marking is too kind.

This is precisely why I said this looked like a boring movie in the first place. Completely pointless. Seeing your review is now making me think twice about going on Tuesday and offering my tickets up instead (also because I will finish at 6pm on Tuesday and want to rest).
I would love to see what AYBG thought of this afterall.

This ranks as one of the better movies in 2010 so far. It was fast, witty and the 2 hours flew by. Switching between the lawsuits to what led to them worked and kept the pace of the film up. Also surprised that Timberlake held his own.
9/10

Yeh, if you read his earlier comments, I would think so too. LOL

Just saw it again, think I might give back my ticket to Stratford cos I really don't like that cinema, but will go re-watch it at Romford, more convenient and more leg room. I love how I've now let 4 hours slip by watching this film and don't feel like it's been that long, nor that I wasted a moment, an odd sensation, gosh I love this film.

A while ago I tweeted that if this film wasn't one of the best of all time (as it has been hyped to be), I'd be disappointed.
Put it this way, I wasn't disappointed.

In all honesty, I cannot even comprehend how someone can feel this way about this film.

I'm starting to wonder if the people who gave the film a higher rating are more involved with the social media/tech side of things and how the internet is revolutionising everything we do therefore enjoying the film more because it was a pivitol moment in shaping the internet.....or maybe i'm just looking into things too much
