Buzz at Comic Con was that it wasn't so good. Like three movies and never defined the tone.
Reviews will ALWAYS be good early. Studios know morons track rotteotomatoes so they get whore reviewers to show up for free screenings/press junkets and -- BAM! "The reviews are all great so far. FUNNY PEOPLE is 97% positive!"
Then the film is out a week and it's 50/50.
Newspapers, TV, etc. are owned by corporations out to make a buck or owners of the film studios as well. Film reviewers are insiders and part of the marketing department. Very few independent voices out there which is why most will hype shite.

Every review I've read from people who saw it at Comic Con has been overwhelmingly positive. Even with screenings since Comic Con, I have yet to hear anything negative.

it's batting a 100 on rottentomatoes so far, so it's gotta have something, and Peter Jackson movies we know are intriguing.

not sure where you're getting that from. The only negative stuff I've heard is from people on here who didn't like the trailer....the same type people who say something like, "I watched ten minutes of that movie, and had to turn it off."

This is what Entertainment Weekly had to say about it:
The result is the Jackson-produced "District 9" (out Friday), a $30 million sci-fi thriller based on Blomkamp's 2005 short film "Alive in Joburg," and the movie Entertainment Weekly dubs the must-see movie of the summer on this week's cover.
Sounds pretty good to me.
