In a way, this is a faith-based film. It's also scary, violent, and filled with images that I don't think anyone really needs to see.

Does just about everything RED did, just not quite as well. Makes attempts at the same charm and flair but the execution is often forced.

There is neither grace nor forgiveness here, only revenge. In this story of a fight between man and 'god' it’s not clear who wins.

An impossibly cute but decidedly conventional story about striving for the seemingly impossible dream.

What on earth did they do to earn their paychecks, sit around and drink beer all day until they came up with recurring plot points?

Had promise, considering del Toro, of being the rare big-budget film to fire on all cylinders, but alas, it's dumb, loud and predictable.

The last half-hour is exactly what we want a summer movie to be, but we have to sit through two hours of utter tedium to get there.

Plain and simple, a kid's movie: lots of fun to watch, the colors are bright, the laughs are many.

Tells a desperately important, underacknowledged tale of American history, specifically for politically active modern Christians.

Laughs are consistent and abundant in this all-female take on the cop buddy genre. So are the f-bombs and misuses of God's name.

May prove to be a classic example where film critics and the masses part ways, as there is much to pick on but there were also cheers.

Funny script and whimsical tone give movie lovers an escape from the more mindless stories where the highlight is something blowing up.

Plenty of action, a few amusing moments, a lot of zombies, and a whole lot of Brad Pitt. There are certainly worse combinations.

A painfully slow pace plus amoral, self-obsessed teens behaving like idiots minus a good lesson equals a massive waste of time.

Not even close to being on par with Pixar's Toy Story sequels, but a genial nature and thoroughgoing inoffensiveness make it palatable.
