I rented it but apparently you have to watch more than half of the movie before anything interesting happens so I didn't watch the whole thing. I was too bored.

That's funny because even though I really enjoyed it, I found it less interesting in the final third when it transformed into a pretty standard action flick.

I agree with the above, with the caveat that District 9 is one of only two films that used mechs well. It's nice to be able to watch an action scene with a mech without having to turn your brain all the way off.

District 9 is one of my favorites, the whole thing. The action had been built up and then it delivered. It had weight and emotion, which is what I crave.

I went in with low expectations, I left with a smile for about 15 minutes, especially due to the very ending. My girlfriend couldn't get me to shut up about it. I guess I still can't!
