Silent Hill actually did decent business when factoring in the worldwide numbers, so it technically doesn't meet all of the requirements of a traditional Movie Defender write up, but it did take a whipping from the critics, currently sitting at a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. At the same time, its IMDb user rating is a respectable 6.5. Obviously, this wouldn't be the first time that a film is embraced by the public while being trashed by the critical community. And, as I've often pointed out, in most of those cases, the critics are right (yes, I realize this makes me sound like a snob, but I can live with it). But Silent Hill is one of those rare cases where the general moviegoing public is right and critics missed the boat.
