    This is easily the smallest-scale of the sequels, and it has the feeling of a massively shrunken budget.

    The 1956 film, which adds Raymond Burr as reporter Steve Martin, feels like watching the original version through a foggy window. The end result is the feeling that something is missing.

    Georgia Rule isn’t serious enough for a drama and not funny enough for a comedy.
  1. Almost unforgivably sentimental.
  2. Does it have its moments? A few, but those alone put it head and shoulders above similar offerings featuring, say, Julia Roberts.
  3. Predictable and tiresome.

    Although it's possible to enjoy the first act and third act carnage without paying attention to the plot mechanics, the storyline itself continuously reminds us of the fallacy of Castle’s quest.

    While it sounds interesting on paper, the follow through is less than entertaining... unless you like unintentional humor.

    Perhaps Planet 51 should have added a dash of Pedro Almodovar, one of Spain's preeminent directors.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The most painful part of seeing this movie is not the fact that it fails to deliver but that it actually came close.
  4. There are a handful of intense sequences and a few scenes of squirm-inducing gore in The Ruins, but not much else.
  5. Unfortunately, the problems with Jedi cannot be fixed even with the best digital software in the galaxy: the weak story (another death star assault, another visit to Dagobah, the exotic planet of the trees, annoying teddy bears), the bad performances..., the burp jokes (three in the first half hour--I guess I missed the toilet humor in the first two) and Luke's bizarre-looking hair mop. It's sad. [Special Edition]
  6. Caught Stealing is a plodding meander that flagrantly overestimates its appeal.

    Is the film fun? Yeah, in that campy kind of "The Mummy" way, but it is also weak as a sequel in that very campy "The Mummy Returns" type of way.

    Unfortunately, despite its good intentions, Mary Magdalene boils down to another story about a woman watching a man talk.

    As impatient as I was with Loggerheads, I can't hate it. The sincerity of its performances is too real; its compassion for its characters is too strong. On the other hand, I haven't mentioned yet that the loggerhead is a species of turtle.
  7. The entire production is odd, and it never gives off the intended thriller vibe. Rather, the whole affair comes off as depressing and sad. Unfortunately, sparse dialogue and subpar acting do not help The Inheritance in what it lacks in story and mystery. It’s too cold and simple, leaving viewers unfulfilled.
  8. Tedious talk-fest.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Falls into the category of the contrived and forgettable cop drama.
  9. 8MM
    The biggest thing wrong with this mess is its whole attitude. The film tries to condemn all these shocking things, but if you're not shocked, just wait a couple of minutes and they'll try again.
  10. Bottom line, the white chicks scare me. Seriously. They’re freaky looking. They are the stuff of nightmares.
  11. Throughout Sick, Williamson decisively proves that breaking all the rules sometimes breaks the movie.
  12. A horror movie that starts off decently but quickly falls victim to cliché. It is, ultimately, a disappointing genre entry, and one that falls far short of the original’s greatness.
  13. Through the Fire is a fraud masquerading as a documentary.
  14. A decidedly sharp drop in quality from the first film. It’s still a somewhat decent horror flick if you’re looking for cheap scares and eerie imagery.

    A mess on every narrative and technical level.

    I’m being overly harsh with Climate of the Hunter because it was frustrating to watch. I had to work hard to follow the story and figure out what was really happening between the characters and I find myself replaying various scenes to see what I missed.

    I expected to see the triumphant return of my childhood favorites, yet I feel like this wasn't the answer.
  15. Despite the involvement of some skilled filmmakers, Portals is a cinematic black hole – vacuous and barely perceptible in the vastness of space lit with far brighter stars.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Fails to make use of its clever dialogue and concepts as it attempts to become something more profound.
