G-Force (2009) |
"There is a distinct pet-shop whiff coming off this weirdly soulless and not especially funny or exciting family comedy from Disney about guinea pigs." |
Peter Bradshaw |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Sienna Miller Wouldn't See G.I. Joe" |
|
Splat 3/5 |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"The pile-up of effects is like watching someone else playing videogames; neat moves, but where's the fun?" |

The Game Plan (2007) |
"A barf-inducer. A hurl-promoter. A projectile-vomit-stimulator." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Gandhi, My Father (2007) |
"There's nothing here to seriously damage Gandhi Sr's reputation; if anything, he is made more human." |

The General (1927) |
"Spectacular chases, fires and explosions are captured with fluid camerawork. There are no stunt doubles for Keaton and of course no digital effects." |

Genova (2008) |
"It is impossible not to admire the fluency and intelligence of Winterbottom's film-making, and his prolific output. Yet Genova is a disappointment, more like a tentative sketch for a movie than the actual finished product." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"The opening news-report sequence is very strong. But from there on in ... well, what more is there to say about the zombie genre and its metaphors for our undead society?" |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat |
George Washington (2000) |
"Amid languorous style, the story gets lost, which is a pity because it could have been a nice quirky one." |
Jason Solomons |
Tomato |
George Washington (2000) |
"On the basis of this stunningly impressive feature debut, [director Green] is set to become a Terrence Malick for the 21st century, reviving the values of artistry and reflectiveness in American indie cinema." |

Get Over It (2001) |
"It's the sort of show Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney would have bounced through 60 years ago." |

Splat 2/5 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"This is a spy comedy which seems entirely unaware of the new genre of Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne, and instead looks more like a Roger Moore-era 007 knockoff." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (2009) |
"It looks great, for sure: demonic cityscapes, lysergic mind-trips and aestheticised military hardware. And it's admirably grown-up in its aspiration too." |
Andrew Pulver |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"It's ridiculous, likable, with some pleasing reminders of the Blade movies." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Ghost Ship (2002) |
"The setting is perfectly promising -- but this is the usual dumbed-down stuff, heading for the video bin." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Ricky Gervais has carried off a proper, big Hollywood film; he may not be a natural, but he's done it without any hesitation or cultural cringe or apologetic foregrounding of his Britishness. He's cracked it." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"For all its weirdness and weightless suburban ennui, this is actually a very plausible, understated account of late adolescent pain." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghosts (2006) |
"A valuably tactless, steady, clear-eyed look at the tragedy and cruelty of the new globalised serfdom." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"This deeply questionable movie presents itself as a documentary. Actually it is hardly more than an exploitative gangsta rap video about the worst slums of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. Leth's movie is politically and morally illiterate." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"How crass and joyless the whole business is, culminating in a love-declaration scene prefigured by McConaughey knocking an elderly man unconscious, to get the boring, obstructive old dude out of the way. Yikes." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"A great experience for Titanic buffs." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Gigantic (2008) |
"This film is entirely empty: empty of substance, devoid of plausible characters, and without anything like a satisfying style." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Gigli (2003) |
"Awe-inspiringly, world-historically awful." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato |
Ginger Snaps (2001) |
"It's all downhill from there, but there is something efficiently creepy about the enclosed world of two alienated young women in suburbia." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"With elegance and despatch, veteran new wave master Claude Chabrol has brought off his most enjoyable film for some time." |

The Girl in the Park (2007) |
"while there is a lot to like in Auburn's tightly focused film, it never fully pulls together." |
Cath Clarke |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008) |
"The characters are entirely credible and likable, the simply drawn figures highly effective against the lush background artwork. Time travel has rarely seemed so joyous." |

The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"I don't think Soderbergh has ever missed quite as badly as this: a shallow, negligent piece of work, badly acted and casually put together." |

Glastonbury (2007) |
"This is entertaining stuff, though and there's a big laugh when a hippy juggling flaming torches sets fire to himself." |

Glitter (2001) |
"A sugary, over-produced power ballad of a movie." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Glorious 39 (2009) |
"A ripping, old-school conspiracy thriller." |
Xan Brooks |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Go Master (2006) |
"With no attempt made to even explain the basic rules of Go, this is essentially a study of forehead-kneading concentration, of how to shut out even the most tempestuous of world events." |
Andrew Pulver |
Splat 2/5 |
Goal II: Living the Dream (2008) |
"One long, product-placing, non-speaking-cameo-packed infomercial." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Godfather (1972) |
"A measured, deathly serious epic." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Gods and Generals (2003) |
"Incredibly boring and badly acted." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Gojira (1954) |
"The special effects for this re-released 1954 film by Ishiro Honda may now look a bit creaky, but the storytelling is muscular and the post-nuclear parable it offers is passionate and fascinatingly ambiguous." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"It certainly looks wonderful, with epic dash and a terrific central performance from Nicole Kidman, who may come to dominate our children's nightmares." |
