The recent Spider Man, Batman and Iron-Man movies have set the bar very high in terms of effects, witty script, story line etc, so a slower paced film may suffer by comparison.

Anyone watching a film from the perspective of a critic tends to be over-critical so I for one will not be taking too much notice of what is being said.

Blade-Runner wasn't a box-office success pertly because critics weren't immediately impressed and didn't rave about it, and history is scattered with films which weren't well received by critics initially, although those same critics are very quick to laud such filmns as classics when they garner a cult following.

Best Regards,
