Last week, I viewed the critically panned movie, 2012, starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Woody Harrelson, and Danny Glover. The movie gains a rare thumbs-up and thumbs-down at the same time. It was the same feeling one gets when watching the Poseiden Adventure, i.e. it's a watchable bad movie.Why a thumbs-up? Because the visual effects were great and the characters were interesting. In the poster to the right, that's LA sliding into the ocean. Sorry about that.
Why a thumbs-down? Because it was excruiatingly long and became tedious watching about half-way through. It must be challenging to write a satisfying ending to the apocalypse! I fast-forwarded through parts of the second-half, so the "thumbs-down" part overwhelmed the "thumbs-up" part in the end.
It was so long, it seemed like 2012 had actually arrived by the time the credits rolled.

Is it really possible to give anything "1 thumb up" that you fast-forwarded through parts?
