  1. Titan A.E. is ''Star Wars'' pulped and mashed into flavorless kiddie corn.
  2. What's really needed is a story with some sizzle, but Bigelow, in K-19, can't seem to decide whether she's making a shoot-the-works underwater rouser, like ''U-571'' or ''Crimson Tide,'' or a lofty historical message movie that hits us with the breaking news that the arms race was, in every sense, a poisonous game.
  3. Watchable in a facile, trashy way. Unfortunately, most of the movie is mired in sludge, slime, mud, blood, and studiously dank cinematography.
  4. Never lets Grant develop his pidgin-Italian nice-guy-gone-sociopath routine.
  5. Overstyled pseudo-thriller.
  6. What's going on is: hunks on horsies.
  7. Dopey, not dope.
  8. Written by Mr. ''Full Monty'' himself, Simon Beaufoy, and, like ''Monty,'' sprinkles pixie dust over the heads of worn out local folk.
  9. Commits sins of romantic comedy as well as sins of spiritual tragedy.
  10. Rachel Griffiths...is the best reason, nay, the only reason to pay attention to Me Myself I.
  11. Kaos was apparently aiming for a coolly stylized, straight-faced take on ''Spy vs. Spy.'' As Maxwell Smart used to say, ''Missed it by that much.''
  12. Too scattershot to take hold.
  13. You can forget about veracity, since this gauzy and sometimes dopey romanticization can't be trusted.
  14. Gillen can't make good on his gaze's search and destroy capabilities.
  15. A drama about corruption in the city's transit system that's not only hard boiled but also dipped in egg batter dialogue and deep fried.
  16. Its tone is stilted and mannered -- and most of it seems a bit loony.
  17. The enterprise might also be called ''Picket Fences on Ice."
  18. Mostly hot air.
  19. The antics are wacky -- but far from Wilde.
  20. Pictorial but oddly muffled three-hour saga of romance and capitalism, not necessarily in that order.
  21. It has no twistiness or intrigue, and none of the juicy anthro-underworld detail that Koppelman and Levien brought to their screenplay for the tricky, enjoyable ''Rounders.''
  22. For women who smoke and drink like fiends, the trio of pre-owned babes in this weirdly rotten femme-porn romance have awfully good, unwrinkled complexions.
  23. Freddie Prinze Jr. has a look in his eye that is equal parts self-infatuation and boyish flash of fear.
  24. Exceedingly blurred rendering of a simply told, artful novel.
  25. The real crime is the way that the movie turns Gael García Bernal, the hot-tempered, Roman-lipped costar of ''Y Tu Mamá También, into a backwater Freddie Prinze Jr.
  26. It's sort of an ursine ''The Last Waltz,'' with more costumes and no direction from Martin Scorsese.
  27. No maid, and no fancy lady either, would swoon for a fellow as damp as the hero so grudgingly coughed up by Fiennes. In the words of Cinderellas everywhere, no effin' way.
  28. Tastefully embarrassing.
  29. If you think it all adds up to a bald-faced rip off of ''The Shining,'' you'd be right, with a crucial difference: Wendigo trades the puffed-up metaphysics of middle-class murder for the no-budget spectacle of...an incredibly fake-looking monster deer.
  30. Watching the movie, it's hard to imagine why anyone would dream of going back there.
