Was it really that bad?

(Sorry about my English, and if I made any offense, please accept my apologies. I am just expressing my opinions.)

I was shocked when I see so many people gave out negative comments. I saw many of the critics, saying that the movie is glorifying teenage gangs, mocking the cops, etc. To be honest, I totally disagree with that.

Maybe I have overlooked, but what I think the plot of the movie tries to reflect the reason behind the London riots. Throughout the whole film, it is not difficult to notice them: Social exclusion, lack of normal parenting, gangster rap and culture....and "ironically", it was Moses in the film that saved the block, not the cops and armed police. In my opinion, the director is trying the convey the message of weak policing in the society.

Yes, I agree that the film is neither too funny or scary, but if you watch it from a fresh perspective you might as well like it.
