Speaking of the Daily Mail...

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the Daily Mail's habit of grossly sensationalising health reporting by crudely dividing all foods, objects and activities into those that cure or cause cancer.

However, their love of hyperbole extends past their health pages and even past their news. Into their film reviews.

Below is a screenshot from Rotten Tomatoes showing an aggregated list of reviews for the new film Watchmen. The concensus among reviewers seems to be that it's an excellently made film, but that its main flaw is that it will be difficult to understand for those unfamilliar with the graphic novel on which it is based.

Note the opinion of the Daily Mail's Christopher Tookey:

So, no over-reactions there, then.
