Has enough potential that it need not take another decade to develop the next chapter in Jack Ryan's cinematic story.

More often dull, listless, and unengaging than outright bad or painful to watch, though its Eastern witchcraft may be bothersome to some.

A comedy that deals with serious themes but manages to stay light enough on its feet that any moments of heavy-handedness are forgivable.

Stimulates our mind more than it stirs our spirits or pulls our heartstrings; more of a discussion than a heartfelt experience.

A goofy, unserious film that generates laugh after laugh, stopping well short of the raunch-fests that pass for movie comedies today.

Takes up the slot for those looking for a bone-breaking, pitchfork-stabbing, explosion-laden spectacle in their moviegoing.

It's a story about aging, dignity and greed, but it excels most as a simple father/son story.

Faith plays a starring role in the story and dialogue, but the language is so off-putting that believers will have a hard time watching.

The romance between Princess Diana and Dr. Hasnat Khan is the focus of this film, but also its major problem for lacking passion.

This remake lacks nuance, is spiritually arid and, for most of its running time, visually dull, no matter how much blood is spilled.

Doesn't redefine Shakespeare's tragic love story for a new generation, but it should find a receptive audience among younger viewers.

Your response to this movie will depend on which element of filmmaking—originality, characters, or performances—means the most to you.

Such an accomplished piece of mainstream commercial filmmaking that it’s difficult to dislike, even if Formula 1 racing isn't your thing.

Prisoners is a story of human pain and loss, and of how we respond to the temptation to carry out our own ideas of justice.

The appealing cast and well-executed comic timing can't mask the repulsive core of this ugly tale.

When a movie titled after a character's name is more interesting when that character isn't on screen, that's a problem.

Has a preposterous premise and action scenes that make the audience feel like they’re playing a video game.

Doomed by predictability, but worst of all is the complete lack of suspense. Hopefully it won't hurt Harrison Ford with the Academy.
