"Nolan and company did such an incredible job with this and tied up all the loose ends so well, that it's hard to fathom what they could do and where they could go with a 3rd film. I sincerely hope there isn't another Batman film. You can't top perfection."

"If Hancock didn't try so hard to be "edgy" and "different" it could have been a winner. Instead with the only villain in the movie being a Whiskey bottle it barely registers as a blip on the radar."

"Isn't nearly as vile as the book and iis certainly watchable, but it's the first Comic Book film of the summer that fails to hit its target."

"Everything about Prince Caspian is just right in terms of cinematography, scope and vision; the tone is dark but hopeful and epic but intimate."

"Garth Jennings, has crafted a small, indie film that - dare I say it? Should I say it? Why not? Is "This Year's Juno.""

"The Forbidden Kingdom may not be a classic martial arts movie, but it's got heart, a certain sneaky charm and more than enough pure fun to make up for that."

"The funny thing about this movie is, that it's not that funny. Oh, you'll get a few chuckles, but it's not laugh out loud funny. It actually tries to be a little subtle and show more heart."

"Was writer Seth Rogen this annoying as a kid? I hope not. Then again, it probably explains a lot about why he seems incapable of creating original characters."

"While watching it, I kept thinking I have finally seen it - the clear best film of the year, then the film gets to a critical point and literally stops."

"The trailer for Atonement had me giddy with excitement I thought I was going to be in for a truly epic love story that spanned time, distance, war, betrayal, but what I got was this anemic, pretentious, non-epic turd."

"This is by far the best film of the year with stand out performances from Crowe and Washington. But it's not as epic as it wants to or should be."

"If you like this type of film - and I do, then you'll like this, it's definitely not something you run out and see, or spend full price on. But if it's on HBO it's worth checking out. I'm recommending because I like The Rock and I'm a sucker for fluff."

"This movie feels, stilted, long and boring. But it's also at times engaging, worth seeing for Jones' Oscar quality performance, not much else. If you like Million Dollar Baby you'll like this, it's almost the same film - in tone and direction."

"Even with all the problems this film has, it works because Jovovich really holds the screen and your attention. When she's in battle mode you have no choice but to just shut your mind off and go with it. It's a perfect time waster that won't challenge you"

"It's The Omen without the goofy looking kid or supernatural elements. If you can put up with the glacial pacing the payoff is almost worth the wait, it left me haunted for days."

"This film is soulless and heartless but at the same time it's a lot of fun and contains a lot of "wow!" moments. I feel dirty for liking this movie so much. Michael Bay is a mad genius."

"Has some serious flaws - like that abortion of an ending but they get the essence of the comic book correct and butcher a pivotal story arc in the process."

"Generally speaking, I hate horror films. What surprised me most about this is that it's more than just torture porn, it's actually a real movie with, like a story and some acting, and cinematography and stuff like that. Who knew?"

"There's a reason this film sat on the shelf for over two years, it's wildly uneven in spots, but there's also moments where you can see that there's a good idea and film trying to get out."

"This has clearly become a paycheck film for all those involved. There's no energy in any of the voice acting, the jokes are stale, it's film making by committee at it's worst."

"Too many characters is not the problem with this film. Raimi actually juggles everyone fairly well. It's the expectation game. We expect Spiderman 2 level excellence and we get Spiderman 1.5. Everything is just a little off, or takes a step back."

"This movie doesn't fail because of it's swiss cheese story. It fails because there is no chemistry between Cage and Biel. Biel's casting was so bad that it goes up there with casting Denise Richards as a Nuclear Scientist in The World Is Not Enough."

"So far this year's crop of films have all been sort of drab, kind of depressingly boring, and just Eh..This is the first purely fun, if not cheesy stupid, movie of the year. I don't know if it's good but it's a hell of a ride."
