Poor Wally. He should've listened to Chris & waited for something more special to come along.

That's really funny because Chris encouraged him to do it. Wally said that he wasn't too sure of the idea of doing a big budget movie for his debut.

Don't worry about him he's rich as hell and things like this don't bother him. He got a $20M paycheck for this movie so did he really lose anything at all? He said several times that he couldn't care less about what the critics say.

Ohhhh, that is not a good sign.

At least Bettany and Hall are getting good ink..

Where is Bettany getting good ink?

The script seems to be the most criticised thing about the movie. I guess Wally should have worked with a more experienced writer.
