G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"There's an expectation that the audience will be invested in the relationship between Duke and Ana, but the poor writing and lack of chemistry between the principals fails to sell the romance as anything more substantial than a weak plot element." |

Galaxy Quest (1999) |
"In many ways, Galaxy Quest is more fantasy than science fiction. It's a lighthearted romp." |

Gamer (2009) |
"Add an element of interactivity into the hyperkinetic, repetitive action, plodding narrative, and stupefyingly obvious social commentary, and the potential might exist for something entertaining." |

Games People Play: New York (2004) |
"Part documentary, part parody, and part something indefinable, the film manages to succeed on its own terms and entertain on just about anyone's." |

Gattaca (1997) |
"Gattaca doesn't just function as a science fiction thriller, but as both a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting scientific ability outstrip ethics and as a morality play about the irrationality of bigotry." |

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |

George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |

Get Shorty (1995) |
"While it's quite possible for the cinematically unaware to enjoy this film, this is a real treat for movie buffs. The story is as much about the love of motion pictures as it is about gangsters." |

Get Smart (2008) |
"This is one instance when a TV series-based movie rewards nostalgia without demanding it. Get Smart is funny enough in its own right to attract younger viewers while paying homage to its 40-year old predecessor." |

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |

Ghost World (2001) |
"A refreshing change from the usual summer fare, offering interesting characters, smart dialogue, biting satire (the concept of 'high art' gets shredded), and dark comedy." |

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"The Dickens elements elevate Ghosts of Girlfriends Past above the level of pure formula; unfortunately, the presence of McConaughey in full sleaze mode makes it difficult to like this film's Scrooge, even after his redemption occurs." |

Gigli (2003) |
