  1. To the extent that Venom works, it’s as a comedy not an action/adventure superhero film.
  2. 70 minutes into the 90-minute process, I was engaged. Then it all collapsed.
  3. Liman applies the same frenetic approach to action scenes that made "The Bourne Identity" such an engaging and exciting affair.
  4. An unfocused mess, with poor chemistry all around and an ending that's as firm and satisfying as an overcooked noodle.
  5. I didn’t laugh once and the movie’s stylized and satirical tone defused any connection I might have felt for the characters. Perhaps if the proceedings hadn’t dragged on well past the two-hour mark, it wouldn’t have seemed like such a chore to sit through.
  6. The storyline is so infantile that it will appeal to young kids.
  7. Captures the essence of its TV inspiration, which is to say that it's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. It also feels very, very long.
  8. It is a ghastly experience, and I left the theater feeling as if I had waded neck-deep through a stream of raw sewage.
  9. This film mistakes action for energy, ridiculous circumstances for comedy, and a mismatched male/female pairing for romance.
  10. There's nothing remotely memorable about this walk.
  11. To work, The Host would have required a visionary interpretation rather than the mundane telling that Niccol opts for.
  12. Halloween II is an affront to Halloween and horror fans. It's the kind of cataclysmic misstep from which a franchise cannot recover. It has transformed Michael Myers from an iconic movie monster into a laughingstock.
  13. Half of what's going on is never explained, and what is explained, doesn't make much sense. And that's just the beginning of the problems encountered in director Paul Anderson's ("Mortal Kombat") poorly executed endeavor.
  14. The end result is something that feels like it should have been much better than it is.
  15. Post Grad isn't funny, surprising, or insightful enough to provoke more than a ho-hum reaction. It's not bad in the way that many failed comedies are bad; it's simply uninspired.
  16. There are quite a few unintentionally funny moments, although the overall experience was too intensely painful for me to be able to advocate it as being "so bad, it's good."
  17. Kids will probably love this film but, to be frank, most children aren't that discriminating (apologies to the few who are). There's nothing in the film that's reprehensible (although some may find the concept of a one-hundred five minute commercial for a game offensive in itself), but I find it hard to believe that many adults accompanying their youngsters will be entertained. In general, about the best recommendation I can come up with regarding this movie is to turn on the Nintendo and play a game yourself. You'll have more fun, spend less money, and it will be over a whole lot faster.
  18. This feels a lot like some of the recent, unwatchable Adam Sandler offerings: boorish, unfunny comedy colliding with saccharine, quasi-dramatic filler.
  19. It will bore you.
  20. There's no compelling reason to see Deal. Everything it offers is familiar to the extent where even though it's not a remake, it feels like one.
  21. Morbius is the kind of bland, by-the-numbers origin story that shows comic book movies at their least innovative.
  22. Isn't worth the time, money, or effort. For Stephen King aficionados, it's just the latest cinematic nightmare.
  23. With each death, the film becomes less interesting. By the end, it's just a routine slasher flick with a too-predictable final "twist."
  24. A tepid affair, distinguished by bland character development, uninspired and insipid dialogue, and a nonexistent plot.
  25. For a mostly brainless movie, The Expendables 3 has a surprisingly dense plot, which is part of the problem. The 2-hour running length is unnecessarily long.
  26. Would probably have been more enjoyable if Berkowitz was less irritating. As a character, his only redeeming quality is his self-deprecating humor.
  27. The energy is missing in the remake because the techniques, which are replicated in a straightforward fashion, are stale.
  28. Misses the mark.
  29. Instead of being truly awful, it’s simply mediocre, although one could argue that’s the last word a comic book movie wants to have applied to it.
  30. The gore is so badly done that it's borderline comical and poor lighting passes for "atmosphere."
