    A forced, tedious but stupidly amusing police action comedy starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell as undercover cops who dislike one another but are forced to do some male bonding to save their hides. High-minded people who eschew violence, harsh language and meatball humor just might want to skip this one. [22 Dec 1989, p.22]

    Saved throughout by its inviting atmosphere and richness of characters.

    You strain to hear mumbled dialogue at times, and there's no sense trying to making sense of it -- but Exorcist III is not half-bad terrible psychological thriller junk entertainment. [18 Aug 1990, p.C3]

    My Father, the Hero makes up for its lack of energy with a handful of bright moments created by Depardieu's sheer charm even in a galumphing part. He has to maintain incredulous looks through several long scenes and be the world's most befuddled dolt in others, but he pulls them off, mostly because he's such a likable lunk. [4 Feb 1994, p.C3]

    A big problem in the beautifully shot movie, with top-billed Glenn Close heading a fine ensemble cast, is that there are too many characters.

    The movie never catches fire with the emotions.

    JFK
    Director Oliver Stone has fashioned in JFK a riveting, dramatic and disturbing look at one of the great whodunits of history. [20 Dec 1991]

    Score it big-time inane but a load of fun.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Stack
    So forced and contrived in delivery that it's tedious. That's not good when the intention is to be audacious.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Stack
    Fast falls from interestingly loopy to tiresome.
    • 49 Metascore

    Mythology has rarely been so preachy in a tedious Hollywood style.
