For this particular movie, though, I'd tend to agree with their assessment mostly because I think the first act sets up the movie as a drama rather than an action movie. I definitely <b>did</b> appreciate the third act of District 9, though, because I think Blomkamp did action really well and it wasn't nearly as out of context as the guys thought.

They just expose every time they have no idea what they're talking about, little sense of genre conventions or what is being brought that is new. They're drama people who know the drama world, and when they stray into those other worlds and look at everything through that same lens they just expose how much Tarantino would whip their ass any any genre movie debate.
