Not much time for reviewing at the moment, what with term looming and a short-deadline writing project leaning heavily on my time. So in lieu of a proper review of this widely discussed film, below is the result of me live-tweeting watching it, last night.
Watching District 9. Much better than District 8 -- the best District since 3.In reply, @Paul_Cornell tweeted 'Skip ahead to 13. It changes a lot.'

The aliens are called Prawns. I'd say they look more like Bishops.They don't look like Bishops, of course. If anything they look like Queens. But that wouldn't work, gag-wise, so well. Ho hum.

The main alien is called Christopher Prawn. Coincidentally that was A A Milne's original preferred title.

Several close-up shots of people's faces running reminding me rather of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.My wife was watching with me; it was she who noted the resemblance between this recurrent camera p.o.v. trick and the Mitchell and Webb sketch. She expressed eloquent and forceful annoyance that I was tweet-passing off her observation as my own. But, you know: that's marriage.

Ooh, I say!Can't remember what that one was about. Probably some of the loud bang-bang gunplay, and exploding-bags-of-blood special effects.

After the end of the film, I summed up my view of it in the following few tweets:
Good film. Though I get the feeling somebody from the Studio saw an early cut & said: 'hmm, needs another half hour of mindless shooting.'I think that about sums it up, except for my sister, who tweeted me halfway through with: 'great film!! fakkin prahns!!', which has a certain laconic precision arguably missing from this post.

District 9: some plotholes. There are supposedly 1.8 million prawns, when the film clearly shows there are only 25 or so.

Given that they're all CGI, presumably it wasn't a casting/budget issue.

Also, I didn't understand why the prawns didn't just take their superguns and steal all the catfood in the world.

That last tweet was about District 9. If you didn't realise that, or haven't seen the film, it might confuse you.

if the humans brought the aliens down from the space ship, where did all those guns come from?
(i watched it for the first time last weekend too)
It was horribly pretentious and mildly boring, I think. And definitely worse than 8, I might add...
