Not that it was a Kubrick film, but the movie was a cut above the standard multiplex horse shit.

Let's see...
So in your world - someone who pays the admission price isn't allowed to have an opinion on the movie. Someone who questions basic flaws in plot logic is labeled a "moron" or "retard"?
Standards aren't high for movies these days. I think its the fact that Hollywood has crammed so much second-rate, regurgitated crap down the pipe lately that people have become justifiably jaded and skeptical.
Yes, the movie DID have its moments - the scenes of a desolate New York were well done and Smith carried the movie fairly well (like Hanks had to in Castaway).
But like several have pointed out - why the insults to our collective intelligence by leaving us to feel gullible with the logic gaps...when some things could have been easily explained with a few simple lines of dialogue, had the filmmakers cared to spend a little more time with the details.
