Tomato |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
" ... even noisier, more frenetic, more pointlessly complicated, and -- God help us -- longer than its predecessors. There is so much classic Bruckheimer bloat here that he could have called it Arrrrrr-mageddon." |
