Macbeth (2007) |
"Everything is over-directed and over-designed like a gruelling pop video with an awful lot of sound and fury." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Mad, Sad and Bad (2009) |
"Despite some nice ideas, and an impressive cast, Avie Luthra's family-ensemble movie doesn't entirely come together." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"This much-anticipated sequel is a frankly disappointing piece of opportunism, with a non-plot which shamelessly rips off The Lion King." |

Made (2001) |
"Favreau gives his film a curious final touch of earnestness, even sentimentality, but he gets away with it and Made swings funkily along." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Made in Jamaica (2006) |
"Unselfconsciously celebratory about a culture teeming with energy and semi-absorbed influences." |

Made of Honor (2008) |
"A film to leave at the altar." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"This extraordinary film is celluloid incendiarism, rabble-rousing cinema with a delirious, delicious edge of black comedy which I estimate to be about 90-95% intentional." |

The Magic Flute (2006) |
"A genial and good-natured production with much spectacle and entertainment to offer, and, like all of Branagh's classical revivals on celluloid, it manages to be high-minded and yet accessible." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
The Magic Hour |
"There are interesting images and themes here, but I have to say that many ideas did not really come off and some films needed work." |

Magicians (2007) |
"O'Connor's direction has absolutely zero visual flair, making the performers' transition from television to film rather pointless." |

Make It Happen (2008) |
"Its just as cheesy and just as icky, but calamitously fails to offer any high-octane dance to ease the pain." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"The story is ... urh. No film has ever had a more irrelevant story." |

A Man Apart (2003) |
"The plot is nonsensical; the action is laughable." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Man from London (2008) |
"The Man from London is no conventional cop thriller. It's an arresting nightmare all the same." |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"Cynicism or stupidity? It's hard to say which has the run of this idiotic satire in which Robin Williams plays a talk-show host who runs for president on a ticket of cleaning up politics." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"What Marsh shows us is Petit's childlike innocence and almost transcendental faith: faith in himself, faith in his leadership abilities, faith that the escapade would be a success, and faith that he would not fall." |

Management (2009) |
"Despite the obvious Norman Bates-ish resemblance, Zahn is clearly supposed to be dishy. The Zahn/Aniston pairing is without chemistry and there frankly isn't a spark of real life in the whole film." |

Manufacturing Dissent (2007) |
"Moore's reputation as a brilliant polemicist takes a knock or two, here. But it's still very much upright." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Humourless (though supposedly a comedy) and pretentious, almost a parody of the self-indulgent Sundance festival film, right down to the washed-out colours, droning dialogue and the title in big sans-serif capitals." |

Andrew Pulver |
Splat 1/5 |
Marley & Me (2008) |
"In the cinema, all of us tough, cynical critics had tears welling in our eyes, swallowing hard; our lips, so often curled in a cheap sneer, were now trembling, because of the same desperately sad thought: "Owen Wilson used to be really good..."" |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Married Life (2008) |
"A well-acted but lugubrious noir, which is somehow not quite thrilling enough to be a thriller, and not quite profound enough to be a character study." |
