Fans Turn on Ritchie and Madonna at Revolver's UK Premiere

Guy Richie and Madonna walked past most of the 2,000 people in London's Leicester Square without signing autographs, while the gangster film's star Jason Statham spent almost an hour meeting fans.

Guy Ritchie, who has been recently said to have left Kabbalah for cinema, has received some harsh critics for his latest movie, due tu the "tricky" concept.

"The critics have been harsh all the way through my career but it doesn't affect me", Ritchie told reporters.

Madonna defended her husband's movie, telling Sky News: "I love it. I think it's a very brave film, a bit macho."

Revolver, which features Statham as a criminal who revives a feud with a gangland boss. It also stars Ray Liotta and Andre 3000 of hip-hop group OutKast, was called "tedious" and "convoluted" by Cariety, while the Hollywood Reporter criticised its "pretentious style".
