The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"One could classify The Da Vinci Code as diverting, but it has sidestepped greatness by a wide margin." |

Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"It takes a strong stomach to hold down what Daddy Day Care force-feeds its audience." |

Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"Beneath its aw-shucks, wants-to-be-liked exterior, this is a bankrupt motion picture. It's cloying, artificial, and not the least bit romantic." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dance With Me (1998) |
"As far as feel-good movies go, this one works in spite of a bloated running length (over two hours) and a plot that could use an injection of originality." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"A thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and innovative cinematic experience." |
James Berardinelli |

The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Little other than the love story subplot to energize the proceedings, many viewers will find that, for all its grace, The Dancer Upstairs moves too slowly." |

Dances with Wolves (1990) |
"It's a rousing adventure, a touching romance, and a stirring drama." |

Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2001) |
"This, I suppose, is what happens when a director allows his actors to put together a movie -- it's sort of like letting the inmates run the asylum." |

Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"The limp movie seems to be an attempt by an Australian to mimic a bad American romantic comedy, and, unfortunately, he succeeds admirably." |

Daredevil (2003) |
"Sometimes, you can tell when parts of a movie have been left on the cutting room floor, and that's the case with Daredevil." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"An easy movie to admire but more difficult to like. Technically and thematically, there's a lot in The Darjeeling Limited to arrest the attention. Emotionally, there's a void." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Russell is the reason to go to the theater. He will continue to hold your attention when things around him -- like the storyline -- lose steam and credibility." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Nolan has provided movie-goers with the best superhero movie to-date, outclassing previous titles both mediocre and excellent, and giving this franchise its Empire Strikes Back." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"Dark Water has plenty of creepy moments, but few scares, and it becomes bogged down in setup." |

Das Boot (1982) |
"This film takes all of the drama and suspense inherent in a submarine-based story and delivers it in a near- perfect package, establishing Das Boot as not just a terrific adrenaline rush, but one of the best movies ever made." |

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Emmerich's point with The Day After Tomorrow isn't to play politics or make speeches, but to entertain. And, in the cataclysmic way he has become known for, he does so." |

Days of Heaven (1978) |
"One thing that certainly can be said about Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven: it's not sentimental or manipulative. Unfortunately, it's also not particularly involving." |

Dazed and Confused (1993) |
"This is light entertainment -- nothing groundbreaking or even especially noteworthy." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"As a bio-pic, De-Lovely is pretty standard, run-of-the-mill stuff. However, as a 'best hits' collection of Cole Porter's music, it is unparalleled." |

Dead Again (1991) |

Dead Man Walking (1995) |
"Dead Man Walking could easily be manipulative or exploitative, but it's neither. Instead, this is hard-hitting drama that neither accepts nor offers quarter." |

Deal (2008) |
"The film has more of a checklist of clichés than an actual script and, when it comes to the cast, director Gil Cates Jr. is scraping the bottom of the barrel." |
