The film is so slow, slugs feed off it.

Nolan has gone beyond DC Comics into a psychological no-man's land where lessons can be learned.

To say that this is nothing like funny enough is to suggest that it's not funny at all, which is wrong, because it is, some of the time.

Ridiculous doesn’t quite cover it.

An outstanding achievement: a rich, dark and complex movie

One can't help but think that there's a great film in there struggling to get out.

The writers, Michael (The Player) Tolkin and Bruce Joel (Ghost) Rubin are award winners. Why have they churned out a run-of-the-mildew script that makes Volcano read like a tight human interest item?

Fell off the sentiment tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Hands the reins to the special effects department, who think its Christmas.

The surprise here is Cool J, who puts in perhaps his best performance to date.

Despite all the hard work by the special-effects teams, this is lazy film-making.

In Gone Baby Gone, Affleck transposes Dennis Lehane’s searing novel about child abduction to the big screen without sacrificing either its dark mood or moral ambivalence.

A story this damp should be squeezed before use.

"The plot is bollocks."

A light-hearted caper that makes for undemanding viewing.

The finished product is determined to ascribe human emotions to avian activities.

A tour de force of stark, pared-to-the-bone craftsmanship.

It's just clever enough to keep you guessing.

Any attempt to explain the detailed confusion of the storyline will cause brain damage.

A romantic comedy that cuts up cliches and scatters them across the mid West.

The slow-burning two-hander first half gives way to a revelation-heavy final hour, where every new sub-Shyamalan surprise only confirms how much Oblivion is ripped off from superior sci-fi that knows its game better.

24-carat, high pressure excitement

The cast are clearly having such an immense amount of fun you really can't help but join them.

Riera may not be breaking new ground with her techniques but she takes us for a breezy and enjoyable canter over the expected jumps.

Despite some obvious cheese and more than a few slices of ham, this is popcorn of the best kind.

Se7en is filthier than a dead stray dog at the bottom of a New Jersey toxic waste dump.

Asinine and confusing.

Stephen Hopkins can't leave the arty flashbacks alone, destroying any semblance of tension.

Perfectly paced and beautifully shot, this manages to be both a successful piece of revisionism and a classic Western at the same time.

Unusually powerful, due to Besson's ability to interweave shockingly brutal violence with intimate human storylines.

In terms of awesome per second, Wanted just set a new record.
