Tomato 3/5 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"Smith is a good deal better than Arnold might have been, and the dog is wonderful. Watch the first hour and see something a bit special." |

I for India (2007) |
"Intriguing, moving and relevant." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"The attempt to explore men’s problems with something akin to intimacy founders on the sad fact that neither character is the least bit intriguing." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"In essence Dennis Duggan's film is patronising and a little degrading." |

I'm Not There (2007) |
"A crazy film which shouldn't work, but for most of the time does." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
" Claudel proves that he understands his characters and sympathises with them equally. When the French do this kind of thing well, they do it very well indeed." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"Though there’s not much of a story, the animation is expert and imaginative." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ichi |
"Fumihiko Sori’s attempt to make an original addition to the Zatoichi martial arts franchise never reaches the virtuosity of Takeshi Kitano’s original. Needless to say, the fight scenes are better than the dialogue." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Igor (2008) |
"Young children might find it a bit difficult to understand and adults too easy." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"No amount of visual pyrotechnics can cover the fact that The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus never quite knows what it is doing, where it is going and why. The pencil hadn’t done its work before the digital geniuses moved in." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"A triumph. That Dr Parnassus was finished at all following the death mid-shoot of its star Heath Ledger is impressive. That it hangs together as a striking work of fantasy is truly remarkable." |
Nick Curtis |

Imagine That (2009) |
"It’s anodyne stuff and not funny enough." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Import/Export (2009) |
"Seidl is a special talent, reared on documentary and determined to get near the truth with a placidly baleful eye. You are at liberty to hate or admire his work — but you can scarcely ignore it." |

In Search Of Beethoven (2009) |
"The result is seriously intriguing: a tribute that avoids all biographical guff." |

In the Loop (2009) |
"In the Loop is like a British version of a Marx Brothers movie in that no sooner is one round of colourful invective blurted out than another three follow in rat-tat succession." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato |
In the Mood for Love (2001) |
"A genuinely wonderful movie; at once old-fashioned and entirely contemporary, subtly erotic, effortlessly cool." |
Neil Norman |
Tomato 4/5 |
In the Realm of the Senses (1976) |
"It was made 33 years ago but Nagisa Oshima’s doomed lust classic doesn’t look in the least bit dusty. Quite the opposite." |

Splat 2/5 |
Incendiary (2008) |
"While individual scenes work well, the whole simply defies belief. And, because of this, the final polemic which suggests that London, constantly renewing itself, will never be defeated, simply appears hopelessly sentimental." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Informant! (2009) |
"Damon makes his character ridiculous in a very convincing way while never for a moment overplaying." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Informers (2009) |
"Jordan gives all this an entirely appropriate sheen and the cast play well through glazed eyes. The film will fascinate those who love to see the tormented lives of those who seem luckier than the rest of us." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"A fundamentally silly piece of fiction and far too few occasions when Tarantino manages to produce the kind of spectacular cinematic moment combining character, script and editing that first signalled him out as a virtuoso director." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Inkheart (2009) |
"This is one of those adaptations that tries to keep you watching with its sheer busyness. At times, though, you just want it to stop and catch breath with the aid of some rather better lines and deeper characterisations." |

The International (2009) |
"Though The International starts decently enough, its flailing action set-pieces and dialogue such as “sometimes a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it” drag it down to a very pedestrian level." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The International (2009) |
"The title of the sleekly professional The International sounds off-puttingly more like a corporate hotel than a thriller and the first half proves just as blandly businesslike." |
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh |
Tomato 3/5 |
Interview (2007) |
"Interview is well-made but depends almost entirely on its acting. Neither of the two principals let it down, even when the screenplay isn't quite as sharp as it could have been." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"One of the best American films of the year, even if you do feel more impatient with McCandless than Penn seems to." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Introducing The Dwights (2007) |
"It doesn't quite add up as a convincingly rounded drama, thanks largely to a tepid feelgood ending, but there are many good moments - and the expert acting from Blethyn alone is worth the price of a ticket." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Invention of Lying (2009) |
"Despite its flaws, The Invention of Lying is Gervais’s best film outing to date. It draws his talent into alignment with some comedy classics, and shows that he has the intelligence to go for invention and originality." |

Is Anybody There? (2009) |
"Peter Harness’s screenplay does not manage the desired subtlety and descends now and then into pawkiness and sentimentality — and Crowley’s direction is never quite sophisticated enough either." |
