Tomato 4/5 |
V For Vendetta (2005) |
"V For Vendetta is massive popcorn entertainment, a blockbusterish undertaking with a great cast and even a few ideas (!) wedged into the exhilarating action sequences." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
V For Vendetta (2005) |
"It's not about ideas or insights but about cleverly calculated thrills, stunning camera work, a magnificent musical score and haunting atmospheric lighting." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2/5 |
Va Savoir (2001) |
"For those people, like me, who do not become engaged by the rambling and plodding story that screenwriters Pascal Bonitzer and Christine Laurent created, the film is sleep-inducing." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Vacancy (2007) |
"It has that kind of stupid energy, unhindered by logic, and it does eschew some of the more by-the-numbers crap you see in corporate horror films today." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 4/5 |
Valentin (2004) |
"A delightful film -- funny, sweet and touching." |
Liz Braun |

Valentine (2001) |
"A slow-moving, predictable movie." |
Adam Smith |

Valentine (2001) |
"As derivative and predictable as the genre demands, but far more inept." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2/5 |
Valiant (2005) |
"Take all the movie money you've just saved and buy the kiddies a good book." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3/5 |
Valkyrie (2008) |
"That last part makes for quite a good, crackling suspense thriller, meticulously researched in all details by the perfectionist Singer." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 3/5 |
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) |
"A big, glossy and mostly puerile project bound to please Murphy's fans." |

Van Helsing (2004) |
"Van Helsing is a spine-tingling, eye-popping extravaganza for kids. Too bad the movie is also brain dead, like Frankenstein's mutant creation before the lightning strikes." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 3/5 |
Van Helsing (2004) |
"The special effects are mind boggling, but they don't deliver anywhere near the thrills they should because Sommers' plot is too convoluted and the characters are as uninteresting as they are one-dimensional." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006) |
"Some movies are Hollywood's version of littering: Like half-eaten pizzas or rancid burgers, these flicks are tossed aside to rot in empty cinemas." |

Vanilla Sky (2001) |
"Hollywood films as gutsy as this one shouldn't cop out and try to explain everything away just because it's complicated." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 4/5 |
Vanity Fair (2004) |
"As evidence of Reese Witherspoon's maturation, it is a revelation." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 1/5 |
Vantage Point (2008) |
"The first 15 minutes of Vantage Point are the worst. Then you only have to sit through them seven more times." |

Various Positions (2002) |
"With mediocre performances from everyone and an episodic lurch to the flow of the piece, and you have a film that fails." |

Vatel (2000) |
"Joffe's extravaganza is a hollow, if pretty, shell." |

Vegas Vacation (1997) |
"This is not the sort of comedy that asks much of a viewer, and it's not as if you have to engage your brain." |

Vengo (2001) |
"If you're a flamenco fan, this works as a concert film. It's as mere movie that its voice is strained." |
Claire Bickley |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Vento di Terra (2005) |
"There are many effective ways to communicate human stories and Italian filmmaker Vincenzo Marra has chosen a path of intense realism, formal structure and no emotional mush." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Venus (2006) |
"Peter O'Toole delivers an Oscar-worthy performance that is alternately hilarious and poignant." |
Jane Stevenson |
Tomato 5/5 |
Vera Drake (2004) |
"An extraordinary film." |

Veronica Guerin (2003) |

Vertical Limit (2000) |
"One of the most stupid, contemptuous and hackneyed films of Y2K." |
John Paul Powell |
Tomato |
Vertical Limit (2000) |
"Unwind, eat popcorn, watch people fall off mountains. That's entertainment." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato |
Vertical Limit (2000) |
"Vertical Limit is one of those edge-of-your-seat thrillers that invites lampooning. It's corny, contrived and excessive. It's also one hell of an exhilarating ride." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato |
Vertigo (1958) |
"The film is a magnificent technical achievement." |
Brian Gorman |
Tomato 4/5 |
Very Bad Things (1998) |
"Very Bad Things is a well-constructed study of the human psyche and how it eventually cracks under intense pressure." |
Richard John |
Tomato 4/5 |
A Very Long Engagement (2004) |
"Tautou anchors the film with her calm gaze and endless faith, and her performance is mesmerizing." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 4/5 |
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
"Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen's giddy romantic comedy, is the funniest film he has made since 1995's Mighty Aphrodite." |
Bruce Kirkland |

Victoria Day (2009) |
"A tiny perfect gem about the no-man's-land of adolescence." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato |
Videodrome (1983) |
"Cronenberg continues his growth out of more obvious horror realms and ups the stakes with heavier philosophical entreaties for his characters to endure." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 1.5/5 |
View from the Top (2003) |
"It catapults gender relations back into the primordial Father Knows Best or Leave It To Beaver era." |

The Village (2004) |
"The movie starts off as a psychological thriller and then turns into a tale about the transformative power of love. Neither of these two story paths, alas, is particularly riveting." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Village (2004) |
"Yields more genuine rewards in retrospect or on subsequent viewings." |
Louis B. Hobson |

Virtual JFK (2008) |
"If nothing else, Virtual JFK does remind us of what it was that made him charismatic." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 4/5 |
Virtuosity (1995) |
"Make no mistake about it, Brett Leonard's Virtuosity seems like a less-filling nouvelle dish full of sci-fi action. But what it really is, is 100% all beef." |
Bob Thompson |
Tomato |
Virus (1998) |
"The effects in Virus are not exactly whizz-bang, but the pace is good and the tension is on-going." |
