Beats me.
My own take of the movie was that it was excellent. I personally was too engrossed to notice the spotty acting by Silk Spectre II that some people have mentioned. I approved wholeheartedly with the changes made to the story to embrace the movie medium. I loved the pacing and the storytelling. I appreciated that the movie treated me as an intelligent person and let me tie all the clues together myself.
This movie lost a lot of points with critics because its story is over 20 years old and many of its concepts no longer seem revolutionary. Fuck 'em. A good story is a good story.
My only gripe was the soundtrack. I realize how it fits in with the original comic, but there were a few songs in there that took me out of the moment. The date. The funeral. The sex scene. Great scenes, but the music left me wondering why... why...
