G-Force (2009) |
"The first 3-D movie from Jerry Bruckheimer, the last producer you'd think of whose pictures needed to be more in-your-face." |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Practically a compendium of everything that's wrong with Hollywood action flicks nowadays--a non-stop orgy of cheesy, chaotic CGI effects unencumbered by any human dimension." |

Gamer (2009) |
"A virulently ugly, unpleasant movie to look at as well as an incredibly stupid one, an insult to the eye as well as the brain." |

Gangster No. 1 (2002) |
"Glizty but formulaic and silly...Cagney's 'top of the world' has been replaced by the bottom of the barrel." |

Garden State (2004) |
"Has incidental pleasures, but it's no cinematic Eden...a picture with nice moments that never connect into an especially enlightening or compelling whole." |

Garfield the Movie (2004) |

George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Nothing more than a zombie movie, but it's a first-class zombie movie, good, ghoulish fun, staged with skill and a nicely twisted sense of humor." |
