That's sort of the point. Some of the negative reviews I've read appear to be by people that know nothing about Hunter S. Thompson. He really is like that. Johnny Depp did a fantastic job of portraying him, it's just that he IS pompous, insane, and all the rest. For those that aren't familar with the man, I can see how he would be unbelievable.
