G-Force (2009) |
"The animals seem more real than the humans, but the comedy is overly cute and the tone forced." |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"This is a militaristic, borderline-fascistic movie, the kind of thing that makes the Pentagon seem as threatening as the pentagram." |

The General (1927) |
"Among the finest comedies of all time, it wears its greatness lightly." |

Genova (2008) |
"A tender and touching film." |

Tomato |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"An oddly beguiling mixture of horror movie, biker flick, pulp Faust legend, redemption melodrama and western, featuring quite astonishing special effects." |
Philip French |

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol has been endlessly remade. None so far has been as bad as this unpleasant comedy." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Ginger Snaps (2001) |
"The movie is much at its best when dealing merely with suspicions, rather than when later laying out the lycanthropy and laying on the gore." |

A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"This description may make this movie sound much more interesting than it is." |

The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"A rather uninteresting example of the small-scale films Soderbergh likes to do between more expensive and expansive movies." |

Tomato |
Glorious 39 (2009) |
"An enjoyable conspiracy thriller in the manner of John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May." |

Goal II: Living the Dream (2008) |
"One isn't eager to see extra time played and the 'To be continued' line at the end is more ominous than enticing. Once again, film-makers demonstrate that old adage, never give soccer an even break." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Gojira (1954) |
"It's exciting, sober, plausible and never unintentionally comic." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Goldfinger (1964) |
"Goldfinger is a crucial work in the development of the Bond legend." |

Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |
"Clooney's excellent film uses the past to make today's media and their audiences address their responsibilities." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"Better than any of the feature film versions of John le Carre's novels and nearly as good as the TV mini-series based on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2009) |
"It's a picture of ferocious energy and excess, consciously influenced in its plot, music and visual style by Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as well as by the Indiana Jones movies. Over-extended, but extremely enjoyable." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"The final sequence up in the mountains is particularly affecting." |

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) |
"Vulgar, pointless, unfunny comedy." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Gran Torino (2008) |
"What gives the film its formidable strength is the way Eastwood shows Walt struggling with his prejudices and coming to terms with a changing world and with his inner demons, many of the latter stemming from the horrors he witnessed in the Korean War." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Great Expectations (1946) |
"If you want to see how Dickens anticipated the cinema, consider how little had to be done to bring the graveyard meeting between Pip and Magwitch to the screen." |

Greek Pete (2009) |
"The sex is tumescently explicit, the life dull and sad." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
The Grocer's Son (2008) |
"The landscape with Mont Sainte-Victoire regularly in view is seductively beautiful." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Gun Crazy (1949) |
"It's a superbly crafted film by a cult film-maker." |
