Tadpole (2002) |
"The top-notch cast brings the story to life with aplomb." |

Tomato 3/4 |
The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"This plot-centered motion picture demands that its audience thinks rather than sits passively and watches." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"One of the year's most uninspired inspirational stories." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Taken (2009) |
"The film is never boring. It is, however, completely preposterous." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"Voids a lot of good will with a cheesy ending." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"It is remarkable how, with all of the advances in technology over the years, a story like this can remain largely unchanged despite a 35 year gap between tellings. By allowing the movie to unfold in real time, Scott enhances the level of suspense." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"A project that is rather shapeless with a protagonist who is less than compelling." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"The Tale of Despereaux looks like it was made about 10 years ago and, at a time when even mediocre animated films can generally boast a stunning look, this movie's uninspired animation is a source of disappointment." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
A Tale of Springtime (1990) |
"A Tale of Springtime presents a rare and wonderful opportunity to discover a trio of multidimensional cinematic characters. Once you've been introduced, you won't want to be parted from them, whether or not Springtime ends." |

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"Matt Damon is simply not convincing in this role. Not only is his performance flat, but he is unable to generate any sense of menace." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Tales from the Crypt - Bordello of Blood (1996) |
"... a macabre, jokey affair that could give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a run for its money as the silliest undead story of the decade." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1/4 |
Tales from the Crypt - Demon Knight (1995) |
"Good entertainment stretched to three times its natural length is rarely three times better, but bad entertainment dragged out that long will typically be three times worse." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"A drama of great power, yet some members of the audience will leave the theater believing they have seen a comedy." |

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"We're left ho-humming our way through one obligatory scene after another and wincing through a sting of failed gags until the next bit comes along that tickles our funny bone." |

Tank Girl (1995) |
"One of those chew-the-popcorn, munch-the-candy flicks - - the kind you go into expecting to have a good time, but nothing more. Given those expectations, disappointment is as unlikely as boredom." |

Tarzan (1999) |

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
"The lack of surprises, plot twists, and clever dialogue makes this a distressingly lame offering." |

Team America: World Police (2004) |
"Good try, some funny and clever ideas, but not really worth the time." |

Tears of the Sun (2003) |

The Ten (2007) |
"This is one of those films where the humor is of the hit-and-miss variety, and it misses more often than it hits. The jokes are transparent. It's not difficult to divine what's supposed to be funny." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"My advice: set aside the money you would have spent on a ticket toward buying the soundtrack. That way, you can get all that's moderately good about Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny without having to endure the substantial bad." |
James Berardinelli |

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"Terminator 3 is the summer movie of 2003 that hard-core action fans have been awaiting." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"This is everything a good summer movie should be and, while it does not dishonor the Cameron chapters of the saga, neither does it prove to be an indispensable adjunct to them." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"There's nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking here, but the film delivers with enough consistency to warrant a qualified recommendation for those seeking a few extra scares at this time of the year." |
James Berardinelli |

Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Despite its many strengths, Thank You for Smoking hovers around mediocrity, and its lasting impression is like a puff of smoke that is dissipated by a strong gust of wind." |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Remaking a movie is easy. Engineering a good remake is difficult. One key quality that separates the two is inspiration, and that's a characteristic not to be found in 2008's The Day the Earth Stood Still." |
