  1. The film’s real treat is its deep acting bench with franchise veterans Scott, Pill, Liev Schreiber, Kim Coates, and Marc-André Grondin joined by Elisha Cuthbert, TJ Miller, and, of course, Russell, a real-life former hockey pro whose troubled villain is worthy of a redemptive spin-off film.
  2. Titan A.E. is ''Star Wars'' pulped and mashed into flavorless kiddie corn.
  3. Has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.
  4. Really, the sole favor Dolman does the plucky Hawn is to light her rear end so that its continued gloriousness can be appreciated.
  5. A frustratingly inert story, a bookend to last year's wooden ''Captain Corelli's Mandolin.''
  6. What slays them in the second balcony, though, flattens on the screen.
    • 48 Metascore

    Let's face it: Chick power was never this yummy.
  7. Denzel Washington, by now, could do this sort of role in his sleep.
  8. The Predator isn’t a dumb movie exactly. But it’s not a smart one either. What it is, is something uncomfortably in between: a satire of a franchise that was already in on its own macho joke.

    What are two of America’s top dramatic actors, a serious playwright, and a hard-boiled British director doing in We’re No Angels, a meaningless stab at film comedy? Failing badly, that’s what.

    Hunt seems to confuse fast-talking with crackling banter, and the mother-son bond is way ickier than it is cute.
  9. Yet here, as before, part of the movie's perversely cheeky design is that it throws away its own cleverness.
  10. Switch leaves one feeling that Blake Edwards is more than a little confused.
  11. Martin Campbell's cat-and-mouse assassin thriller is self-aware enough as a kinetic genre entry. As it spills more blood and more convoluted backstory, however, it reveals an empty center.

    Blackly comic elements do little to blunt the unsettling aura created by the garish lighting and intense dentist-drill ”score.”
  12. The plot is more confusing than clever, and the only actor who seems to be having any fun is Silver, who's at his best throwing masochistic hissy fits at his younger, not-quite-so-evil self.
  13. Modine, as a morosely self-involved actor, looks as if he's about to strangle someone -- and the movie, an attack on superficiality, never quite makes it out of the shallow end.

    Taylor’s work is several notches above the botched material, adapted from the John O’Hara novel.
  14. It's no insult to Melville to say that he wrote, in effect, the original ''Dilbert.'' This movie, unfortunately, makes ''Dilbert'' look like Melville.
  15. Brooks guards the movie from overheating in a surfeit of warmedy.
  16. Mark it: Phil Collins officially has nothing more to teach us. The tunes he's composed for Brother Bear are so generic, they're modular.
  17. As for the concert itself, it's a generically big, loud, overchoreographed, over-mic'ed, post-Madonna production.
  18. Admit it: It's not every horror film that can make you feel preached at and slimed at the same time.
  19. The sequel still manages to walk the tightrope between clever and crass. For a while, at least.
  20. The directorial debut of actress Katie Holmes, starring herself as Rita, a drunk single mother living out of her car, is the latest well-intentioned yet lousy-with-clichés treatment in the hard-luck-woman subgenre.
  21. Ultimately, the talented cast -- among them M. Emmet Walsh, Faye Dunaway, Skeet Ulrich, and Viggo Mortensen -- play to their easiest star turns rather than their most interesting strengths.
  22. [A] gimmicky actors' holiday.
  23. Bride of Chucky is teen horror for dummies.
  24. Woodley, through the delicate power of her acting, does something compelling: She shows you what a prickly, fearful, yet daring personality looks like when it's nestled deep within the kind of modest, bookish girl who shouldn't even like gym class.
  25. The movie never quite stops feeling like Moulin Rouge! written in extra-large block font, or Broadway projected straight onto a big screen, which certainly isn’t bad news if that’s exactly what you love.
