WHY ALL THE HATE FOR KILLING BONO?

Something is bothering Shoot the Cabbage! What's with all of these one-starred reviews and criticism of the movie Killing Bono? Seems to be some kind of smear campaign because: it's not that good; it wasn't filmed in Dublin; the lead guy was a di*khead; the technical quality wasn't great, and so on. Never has there been an Irish-themed movie that's got such bad reviews? Seems to be a bit harsh as the film is certainly watchable. Have these 'critics' never seen Anton or Summer of the flying saucer? Killing Bono is loosely based on a guy who's annoying and misguided. Anyone who checks out YouTube footage of Neil McCormick and his old band will see that. Seems the movie is getting better reviews in Britain than Ireland. Reckon it's because the film was so hyped that it's disappointing to everyone here? Like a lot of these rock movies Killing Bono will eventually find its audience and become a cult movie and hopefully then have the last laugh?
