Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"The vampires aren't a particularly inspiring creation -- all pale and hairless and red-eyed -- but director Francis Lawrence gets some great effects out of New York itself." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"It never talks down to its teenage characters, or exploits them for easy jokes; it never panders to them, either." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Hate Valentine's Day (2009) |
"For I Hate Valentine's Day, Vardalos has chosen to direct. And that's a mistake that only compounds the ones in her screenplay." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"The characters themselves barely exist, as do the supposedly deep thoughts the film is supposed to express." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 0/4 |
I Know Who Killed Me (2007) |
"It's sad to see the once-promising actress killing her career, between her self-destructive behavior behind the scenes and her poor judgment selecting scripts." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"Luckily, the cast is so winning, that the occasional sexism can be ignored, and the off-the-wall pop culture name-checks (Lou Ferrigno, as a guest star?) enjoyed." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Love Your Work (2005) |
"What is so dreadful about unearned fame and undeserved riches that warrants this faux-Antonioni despair?" |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"The picture delivers 90 minutes of gay caricatures, along with a barrage of fat jokes, and culminates by lecturing the audience about how wrong it is to mock those who are different." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Sell the Dead (2009) |
"Movie fans of all kinds will appreciate a film that knows the differences among 'terror,' 'terrible' and 'terribly good fun.'" |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"Rock is so fixed on crude jokes, he neglects to create realistic characters and a story that's compelling to follow." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"All that talent, all going to waste." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"At the bottom of it all lies nothing more than a by-the-numbers Hollywood thriller." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"...there's one great movie in here." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"Much of the movie feels dull or derivative." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"This is pretty silly stuff, even for a children's movie, and it sort of sells out the one original point the series used to have: Here was a prehistoric adventure that refused to go the yabba-dabbo-do route." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"The film is bitter from start to finish, a one-note fable of greed and loathing shellacked in sleaze." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"Take the teen makeover template, add ice, and you've got the latest piece of pandering entertainment from Walt Disney Pictures." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
Identity (2003) |
"An over-directed slasher picture full of arty tricks and slumming stars." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"The OutKast epic Idlewild is an amazingly misguided film, a muddled attempt to create an old school Hollywood musical showcasing the unique hip-hop duo." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Illegal Tender (2007) |
"Illegal Tender isn't quite the mess you expect this time of year, a film that achieves a certain level of originality by reversing gender roles." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"The love story is corny, the pacing is slow and some cast members are out of their element (yes, that means Biel), but the film has a cer tain cryptic charm." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Just an ordinary tale of rich people in crisis." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato |
Imelda (2004) |
"What this movie makes real is the image of a woman who seemingly, as one amazed Jesuit declares, 'cannot face reality.'" |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
In America (2003) |
"The movie stumbles." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"There is enjoyment to be found in the disparate elements, but as far as meaningful cinema goes, the flick falls short of its objectives." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"A genuinely heartfelt look at sibling rivalry, and the bonds (and battles) that sisters are heir to." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
In My Country (2005) |
"Has enough raw, real content to successfully upset viewers." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato |
In the Cut (2003) |
"A smart match of art and artist." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War |
"The film is bereft not only of style, but reasoned opinions and even, occasionally, verifiable facts." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Loop (2009) |
"A wonderfully nasty British satire that examines the intricacies of international politics -- and laughs, bitterly." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
In The Mix (2005) |
"In the Mix has clearly been made by people who want to make a few bucks off Usher, and who have seen a few Sopranos episodes." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
In the Realms of the Unreal (2004) |
"The movie's central gimmick, animating the novel's illustrations while actors like Larry Pine and Dakota Fanning read the text dramatically in voiceover, grows cumulatively irritating and alienating." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) |
"Imagine a time when we actually could set ourselves a national goal -- and meet it within a decade. Imagine an era when the whole free world cheered us on to do it, and then celebrated with us when we did." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"In the Valley of Elah is an almost painfully powerful drama." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
The In-Laws (2003) |
"Fresh and funny all over again." |
Bob Campbell |
Splat |
Incident at Loch Ness (2004) |
"Then we go to Scotland, and the whole film is suddenly at sea." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"... the movie preaches to the choir rather than winning over new converts." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"Even by Pixar standards, The Incredibles is unexpected, a mold-breaking computer-animated adventure that pleases the eye, bends the mind and, ultimately, lifts the spirit." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, a daring team of professionals risks everything to unearth a valuable artifact. No, not a quartz cranium. The Indiana Jones series. And the great good news is that they succeed, marvelously." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Infamous (2006) |
"Even judged on its own, though, McGrath's movie feels slightly misjudged." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Infernal Affairs (2003) |
"Smart, snazzy entertainment." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
The Informant! (2009) |
"The Informant! is too clever by half -- and yet, at the same time, not quite as smart as it thinks." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1/4 |
The Informers (2009) |
"The film is as flat as the Hollywood sign, with beautiful young people, all blonde, mostly naked, trying desperately to get up the energy to order something else from room service." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"It's these fine sequences that can make you truly regret Tarantino's snarky, in-joke impulses, not to mention his arrogant -- perhaps even dangerous -- lack of concern with the story's moral dimensions." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Inheritance (2003) |
"The deft understatement of the actors and the resistance of cinematic artifice make the tale all the more devastating." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Inland Empire (2006) |
"Not only is the storytelling murky, so is the picture quality. Video technology may have enabled the director to experiment with long takes and extreme close-ups, but it also yields a movie that's dull on several levels." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Innocent Voices (2004) |
"This isn't only slightly simplistic politics, it's bad drama." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Inside Deep Throat (2005) |
"Bailey and Barbato aren't interested in classic documentary filmmaking. They're trendy dabblers in waste management, picking through the pop-culture trash to see what they can recycle for kitsch value." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Inside Man (2006) |
"Inside Man is the sort of movie that makes you think. The big star heist thriller is coiled in tricky turns of plot." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
The Intended (2004) |
"Fans of Jungle Gothics would do better to let this one slip back into the underbrush." |
