Meanwhile, I guess most of the US movie goers where expecting a very serious, true-to-the-source adaptation of the books, and probably disliked that not only wasn't this movie dead-serious about the book, the movie even went to criticize and make a joke about the book's theme.
Or some moviegoers just thought it was a bad movie.
The message was smart, but the sets, acting, and much of the plot was mediocre fluff at best and downright terrible at worst. Having watched it again a year or so ago, I definitely felt more appreciation for how it labeled the political and military complex. But overall it was still a mediocre movie at best.
