I wouldn't say generally disliked. It's got a 64% on RT, so I'd put that about lukewarm. It was more than 50/50 on like and dislike.

However, going back to my earlier sentiments, I think we can all agree that Marvel will not do an straight adaptation of The Ultimates, but I do think that it would be a very good idea to draw upon some of the ideas that the Ultimates put into play. Mostly it's in terms of stylistic choices, but I thought a few story ideas were done very well, particularly the Skrulls.
