2002 movie reviews
  1. It's a strong, engaging story that showcases some striking animation, and if I am to return to the wider world of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth, this seems to me an ideal way to go about it.
  2. We get two influential actors reuniting on the big screen in a film that is comparable to their acting gifts.
  3. It’s the kind of movie that’s simultaneously a feel-good tear-jerker that’s deeply personal in the themes it tackles.
  4. while the film may meander some, von Horn and Langebek’s script never loses sight of the story, offering something that is deeply bleak but also worth thinking about.
  5. What really makes That Christmas such a joy to experience is the colorful details, from the writing to the scenery to the set and character designs to the atmosphere.
  6. The result may not be groundbreaking, but it's fun and it does what it sets out to do, creating an interesting supernatural horror that keeps tensions high.
  7. Embedded in its humor is a sense of melancholy that heightens the emotions prevalent throughout the film, surprisingly tugging at our heartstrings.
  8. Get Away does a lot with the resources it possesses and isn't hindered by them, delivering a strong story with fun performances. It has a strong future as a cult comedy horror movie.
  9. It may not incite fear in a classical sense, but it haunts us at every minute of its runtime. Gorgeous cinematography and an exceptional score elevate this tale of obsessive torment. Sure, we’re in a time when remakes are becoming more of an annoyance than anything, but with a final product like Nosferatu, it almost seems silly to care about these things.
  10. This shocking horror comedy is a train wreck that you can’t look away from. Whether the filmmakers intended this to be the case is a question on its own, but I’m sure Krazy House will acquire a following.

    While Our Little Secret passes the time just fine when Chenoweth and Lohan are butting heads, it has nothing to offer that hasn't been done better by even the most insipid of Netflix Christmas rom-coms.
  11. Despite subverting expectations and being edgy in its approach, the lack of energy and fearlessness keeps this story from reaching its full potential. Weiss's directorial debut is not a dud, but charm can only get you so far.
  12. The animation is still strong and the character beats are affecting, but the villain and his motivations stand in the film's way of true greatness.
  13. As the film progresses, and Melody continues to find new and innovative ways to express herself and communicate, she finds a new grasp on life, which helps her true personality shine through. This ultimately creates a heartwarming and engaging film that constantly challenges expectations and forces us to assess our own bias.
  14. It sits among some of the best films Bustamante has created and stays with you long after the final scene.
  15. Compared to other, stronger animated films, Spellbound sits comfortably in the middle. Kids will likely be delighted with it — though at nearly two hours long the wait to get to the end might be a struggle — and it offers just enough for them to keep watching.
  16. The film is unique and intriguing, but it struggles to tell its own story in an effective way.
  17. With Stiller at the center, Nutcrackers is a solid, if not incredibly memorable, holiday effort.
  18. Flow makes us think and feel in equal measure.
  19. For fans of Murray's career, The Merry Gentlemen gives the actor another chance to shine in an otherwise unremarkable movie.
  20. Save for the tiniest of things, Wicked is a worthy screen adaptation of the musical, guaranteed to make viewers feel like they could defy gravity too.
  21. It’s the little moments and details that turn it into something more profound and lovely.

    Rather than pushing the streamer's holiday content in a unique new direction, the movie delivers a rote, cookie-cutter fish-out-of-water comedy that proves it's really no different from any other high-concept Netflix rom-com.
  22. Gladiator II really soars when it does the unexpected and, for the most part, that only happens when Washington, Quinn, and Hechinger are onscreen. It doesn't make for a well-rounded film, but it does make for an entertaining one. For all its faults (of which there are only a few), Scott is still fully in control of this massive undertaking, letting his contemporary sensibilities bleed into the gravity of the past.
  23. The film is jam-packed with fun tidbits and celebrity cameos that will surprise a lot of Vandross' fans — the casual and the hardcore. Considering his level of fame, it’s strange we haven’t gotten a biopic or definitive piece of fiction with Vandross at the center, but Porter seems to have made the definitive Luther Vandross documentary and it's worth every minute of our time.
  24. While Super/Man touches upon the role, its impact on Reeve’s career and personal life, the documentary is more of a touching ode to the complicated, charming man behind the cape, and the perseverance he showed following his accident.
  25. Though the movie's final act somewhat stumbles through its attempt at a big twist, it proves to be a refreshing approach to the formula.
  26. Cellar Door may not provide intense emotional payoffs, or twists that come as a complete surprise, but the actors deliver great performances, and it's intriguing to watch as the central couple's lives unravel.
  27. Meanwhile on Earth is an odd blend of genres that distracts from its arguments, even though the unresolved ending isn't really the problem.
  28. Black Cab has a pitch-perfect combination of Goodison's surreal direction and Gazelle Twin's ethereal score.
