    The Matrix
    It's astonishing that so much money, talent, technical expertise and visual imagination can be put in the service of something so stupid.
    • 45 Metascore

    Proof of Life
    A hostage drama that oscillates between soap opera and action flick.
    • 66 Metascore

    The Tailor of Panama
    Anyone expecting a flashy Bond-style fantasy is going to be disappointed.

    The Cell
    Any way you slice it, it is still pointless.

    Darkness Falls
    Dumb.

    Snake Eyes
    De Palma seems to be trying too hard to make somebody else's great movie, once again an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Would someone please tell this guy to relax?

    Pitch Black
    This half-baked sci-fi horror film, filled with jerky, washed-out, highlighted, blurred and toned imagery, is a tiresome experience.

    My First Mister
    A coming-of-age story that gets it all wrong.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Sugar & Spice
    It means to be knowing and cynical but is just callow.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Dr. Dolittle
    Runs out of ideas long before the projector runs out of film.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Gasoline
    Earnest, but a work in progress.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Armageddon
    There are barrages of fast cuts to distract us from the fact that the director is showing us no real action.
    • 38 Metascore

    Don't Say a Word
    Don't even try to make any sense of this --none of it elicits a moment of genuine concern.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    The Beyond
    The thriller is populated by the usual dimwits who stumble into horrific situations and don't have the good sense to leave, and it tries to pass off some of the sorriest excuses for zombies ever seen.

    Knock Off
    The ridiculous complications might have worked if there had been an awareness of how absurd they are.

    The Crew
    Seems it's never going to reach liftoff.
    • 35 Metascore

    Ghosts of Mars
    A tired and dispiriting affair that takes forever to get going.
    • 34 Metascore

    Red Planet
    There still is no life on Mars. Red Planet is airless.
    • 34 Metascore

    Mission to Mars
    Something so sappy, no one would believe me if I told them. It has to be seen to be disbelieved.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Chill Factor
    This poor excuse for a thriller turns, with a great crunching of gears, into a mess of a buddy comedy. Either way, it misfires.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Impostor
    The last 15 minutes finally get it together for what passes as a movie experience with a considerable "gotcha!" quotient.

    Down to Earth
    Beatty's "Heaven Can Wait," released in 1978, was a comic fantasy about a near-death experience. This new version is a near-life experience.

    • 25 Bob Graham
    Swordfish
    This lurid thriller comes to life in fits and starts, and then sinks into the bog of its own cleverness once again.

    Idle Hands
    When a movie sets out to be awful and achieves its goal, does that make it a success?
    • 29 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    How High
    Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen.
    • 28 Metascore

    Stigmata
    What is bloody and full of holes?
    • 27 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    The Musketeer
    The movie lacks the one thing that the classic "Three Musketeers" story can't do without: panache.

    Autumn in New York
    Turns into one long wallow.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Get Carter
    This noir mystery is murkier than it needs to be, through no fault of Stallone's.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 25 Bob Graham
    Dirty Work
    Dirty Work was directed by Bob Saget, who always seemed slightly embarrassed by his enormous success as the host of America's Funniest Home Videos. Now he's got something else to be slightly embarrassed about.
