Splat 2.5/4
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
"about as good a movie as can be expected from a novel that is decidedly un-cinematic."
Sean McBride
Tomato 3/4
Dan in Real Life (2007)
"the emotion is genuine and the humor is just sweet enough to leave you smiling."
Tomato 3.5/4
The Dark Knight (2008)
"thanks to an atypically meaty screenplay, this might very well be the best superhero movie of all time, and is the only film in this genre that is so well crafted that it deserves some serious respect when Oscar season rolls around next year."
Dark Water (2005)
"A creepy feel isn’t everything. A horror must be scary to be successful."
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)
"the party of the year thanks to some amazing music and a very funny, very likeable host"
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
"The Day After Tomorrow starts out with a special effects bang, but then grinds to a halt for the final hour."
Splat 1.5/4
Death Sentence (2007)
"It’s unbelievable and with a few exceptions, not all that exciting."
Deck the Halls (2006)
"seems to have only been greenlit because producers know that families need PG-rated dreck to occupy the kiddies while mom is out shopping for Christmas presents."
Tomato 2.5/4
Defiance (2008)
"doesn't have nearly enough gunplay to qualify as a full-fledged action extravaganza, but thanks to quality acting and an engaging life-or-death story, there's plenty here to keep audiences satisfied."
Definitely, Maybe (2008)
"If you're looking for a movie that isn't just the same old, same old, "Definitely, Maybe" is definitely the movie for you."
Deja Vu (2006)
"starts off with a high-octane opening and seldom slows down, which means that most viewers won’t have time to think about the logical inconsistencies of the film’s story."
Delta Farce (2007)
"I can honestly say that I didn’t laugh once"
The Departed (2006)
"Scorsese's best in years—strong praise considering that his last two movies were both up for the Best Picture Academy Award."
Splat 1/4
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)
"I didn’t laugh once during the film, although I did roll my eyes frequently in disbelief."
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
"a wickedly funny film with a slew of top-drawer supporting performances"
Disturbia (2007)
"far deeper that you might expect from a typical teen drama."
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
"Dodgeball works mainly because it’s full of colorful characters who are a real hoot to watch as they stumble their way through the movie."
Doomsday (2008)
"With my apologies to Tina Turner, "Mad Max" gets a big dose of girl power, and the results aren't pretty."
Tomato 4/4
Doubt (2008)
" this cast is nothing short of amazing."
Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)
"bears little resemblance to the "Horton" I imagined in my youth, but the kiddies that filled the theater around me seemed to eat it all up."
Dreamgirls (2006)
"There’s no faint-praise here. It's the best film of the year."
Drillbit Taylor (2008)
"Mix in the mediocre jokes and a cast that is game, but not overly inspired and you're left with a film that's a real letdown considering the filmmaking team involved here."
Splat 2/4
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)
"dumb, mindless filmmaking at its most mediocre. But so was the TV show."
