G (2002) |
"Christopher Scott Cherot's drama is an honorable attempt laid low by a verbose script, cheap production values, and a general tendency toward soap opera." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
G-Force (2009) |
"G-Force represents an inconceivably tragic waste of a brilliant idea. Frankly, if you can’t squeeze a decent movie out of talking 3-D superagent guinea pigs, you may as well throw in the towel and consider a career in insurance." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"G.I. Joe is a loud but proficient slab of explode-o-rama summer blockbuster nonsense, perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing, extremely skippable if you don’t." |

Gabrielle (2005) |
"Scenes from a Marriage was twice as devastating with none of the stylistic folderol." |

Game 6 (2006) |
"To put it in words a Sox fan would understand, the movie hurts good." |

The Game of Their Lives (2005) |
"These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine (2003) |
"Teases us into believing it's interested in global questions and hard-to-find answers, when really all it wants is to dazzle us with brute force, then dump us before we realize we've been had." |
Janice Page |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"[Johnson's] quick smile and willingness to play along make him by far the most likable of modern movie muscleheads. He's thus one of the reasons to see The Game Plan." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gamer (2009) |
"The game sequences are all familiar flash, and zero tension." |

Games People Play: New York (2004) |
"The whole experience feels cheap and sleazy, like walking alone down a long damp alley at 3 in the morning." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"Like many operas, this is long, overwrought, sprawling, and more than frequently brilliant. It also hits just enough discordant notes to keep it from greatness." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1/4 |
Garage Days (2003) |
"A cheery, cheeky, youthful lark that it trips over its Doc Martens in the first few scenes and never gets up." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"Garçon Stupide is the rare piece of European sexual realism centered completely on a boy's awakening. Young women have dominated the genre in the last 10 years, especially in France. So the film is a welcome, though inferior changeup." |
Wesley Morris |

The Garden (2009) |
"Justice and Corruption and Profit are abstractions, and film is so ill suited to deal with abstractions." |
Mark Feeney |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"A standard issue, first-movie navel-gaze whose cobwebs Braff meticulously sweeps away by directing the bejesus out of it." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"A toothless, harmless, mostly charmless mongrel movie that mixes live-action actors and animals with a computer-generated version of the comic strip cat that Jim Davis created in 1978." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006) |
"You'll only be attracted to Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties if you're very young, you're very easily entertained, or you just can't get enough of Jim Davis's lasagna-scarfing cartoon cat." |
Janice Page |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Gatekeeper (2002) |
"To [Frey] the border isn't just a backdrop, it's a leading lady. So if he's cast her in what feels like a very one-dimensional, made-for-TV movie, well, at least she's finally getting some of the attention she deserves." |

Gay Sex in the 70's (2005) |
"Despite the retrospective sensationalism, Lovett's 70-minute documentary is a sobering anti-erotic cautionary tale." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"This new movie looks and feels like someone else's better-made schlock." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat .5/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"Georgia Rule is a bad idea dreadfully executed -- On Golden Pond with fellatio jokes and whimsical incest melodrama and Fonda playing her dad (who, more and more, she eerily resembles)." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gerry (2003) |
"The best way to approach Gerry -- perhaps the only way -- is to treat it as a sanctuary, a film to be visited the way you would a Buddhist temple or a piece of ambient music." |

Get Carter (2000) |
"Maybe it's all the rain and leaden skies, but instead of conjuring up the rueful mood it's after, the film mostly just plays dark, wet, and heavy." |
Jay Carr |

Get Over It (2001) |
"Comes off more like a series of painful cliches than a comedy or a love story." |
Christopher Muther |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"Before we enter the theater, we know he's a millionaire winner starring in a movie about how he won. So it's hard to believe him when he isn't smiling." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"Get Smart, version 2008, surrounds skilled, likable players, and a handful of solid belly laughs with $80 million worth of formulaic summer-movie mediocrity. A lot of things explode, but the movie never detonates." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"More vital than most police procedurals, fusing the metaphysical and the scientific into a pulp yarn with a gentle but bruising philosophical kick." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Ghost Rider is the kind of movie that's great stupid fun as long as someone else is buying the tickets." |

Ghost Ship (2002) |
"All the Queen's Men is a throwback war movie that fails on so many levels, it should pay reparations to viewers." |
Janice Page |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Someone once said about W.C. Fields that he had the rare ability to despise amusingly. I can imagine no greater compliment than to say that Ricky Gervais seems, at his best, like a young Fields." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ghost World (2001) |
"In her need for affection, in her need to be taken seriously, Enid is poignant without ever being cloying." |
Jay Carr |

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Ghosts is better-than-average McConaughey swill, but not by much -- that's its pleasure and its curse." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"It's a unique trip that flirts with hokeyness at the surface but that grows more compelling, awe-inspiring, and tragic the deeper you go." |

The Gift (2001) |
"A solidly crafted, suspensefully written, powerfully acted little juggernaut." |

Gigantic (2008) |
"Gigantic plays like a Sundance movie with half the nouns removed; fetchingly cryptic for a while, it's ultimately just obscure." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |
"Generous helpings of performance footage and band interviews will gratify the group's die-hard cult of fans. But there's stuff of interest here for general audiences, too." |
Joan Anderman |
Splat 0/4 |
Gigli (2003) |
"An overlong, joyless, and inconsequential affair, full of dead air, and possessing only a few moments of jaw-dropping bad taste." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato |
The Girl (2001) |
"Its ambition and beauty ultimately triumph over pretense." |
Loren King |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"Chabrol has always been more interested in sensibility than sense, in discourse on fashion and form than in the narrative possibilities of function, and on the rich hypocrisies of the wealthy." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2/4 |
The Girl From Monaco (2009) |
"The Girl From Monaco doesn’t seem to know whether it wants to be a sprightly sex comedy or an enigmatic little thriller. Unfortunately, it’s neither very funny nor very thrilling." |
Joel Brown |
Splat 2/4 |
The Girl from Monday (2006) |
"The charm, verve, and clearly articulated vision a filmmaker would need to put this over are nowhere in evidence, though Hartley's sentimentality and wan cynicism are on grating display." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"Seems mainly about ripping off 1983's Risky Business without attribution." |
Janice Page |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008) |
"What makes The Girl Who Leapt Through Time such an unexpected treat is the contemplative pace and painterly visuals." |

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Dancing on the edge of dullness, Girl is continually saved by the look of things." |

Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"It's difficult to imagine any actress today bringing more sentience and intelligence to [Ryder's] role." |

Girlfight (2000) |
"[Rodriguez] and this film that respects her by rendering her and her world in unadorned realistic terms, bypassing cheap prefab myths, are twin blasts of fresh air." |
Jay Carr |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"What could seem an empty stylistic exercise (and was, in the director's 2002 Full Frontal) serves to bring a fresh urgency to the tale, ultimately granting the audience a wisdom and perspective the characters never possess." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girlhood (2003) |
"The trajectories of Shanae's and Megan's lives speak volumes for themselves." |
