If you don't see this, you may as well just watch Barney for the rest of your days. It's the best movie I have ever seen, by far. It's hilarious, satirical, and has amazing action. 10/10, no question.

Every Normal Man Must Be Tempted At Times To Spit On His Hands, Hoist That Black Flag, And Begin Slitting Throats.
Here in the UK it's on a limited release, and the DVD is out in about a week or so IIRC.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The Metro gave it 2/5, saying that it was a film made by committee. The special effects subcommittee were making Star Wars, while the script committee were making Space Balls.
I dont expect any type of movie critic to give a movie like this a decent to good rating. I swear to god, critics are on a whole nother world when it comes to movies.
Well just finished, I'd give it maybe an 7-8/10. It's a bit cheesy at times, but not too much so. More or less sort of an action film with the occasional comedy scene, kind of a good mix. I won't go into spoilers though, at least until others have seen it. But the end was somewhat interesting in the fact that it seemed likely to happen in that situation.
Vague spoiler go.
Spoiler:
You should be able to guess the outcome when you see who was president. Also MIR is awesome.
I'd also say watch it until after the credits, but that seems a given with most movies now. But for those who don't want to I'll just put it in the spoiler tag below.
Spoiler:
After the credits a ship (slightly resembling the core module of the MIR) can be seen somewhat descending to a shadow on the other side of Mars, likely nothing though.

The Cinematography was top notch. Something you would see in a film like The Dark Knight.
The Plot was not as good as It could have been, but it was okay for an action/comedy movie.
The movie is fairly fast paced, there is always something interesting going on.
I did not care for the female Sarah Palin like President, I would have gone in a different direction with that.
Overall if you liked Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow you are going to like this film.
Good movie overall, good action sequences with some laughs thrown in for good measure.
2 and a half stars.
