That's the "problem" - the film assumed the viewer had enough brain to see the satire instead of spelling it out. Apparently that wasn't true of most reviewers at the time. (I saw it when it came out and loved it. Much more than the book which was depressingly fascist apologetic.)

- jlgreco 13y agoI suspect they were projecting the book onto the movie so strongly that it actually drown out the movie. That or they were just upset that the movie didn't feature the wildly unfilmable powered suits.
