I Am Legend (2007) |
"It's in the last half-hour that I Am Legend imports new elements that both propel the story to its explosive climax and just aren't as compelling as the day-in-the-life story that preceded it." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
I Confess (1953) |
"A good, workmanlike thriller, I Confess is only fair-to-middling Hitchcock." |
|
Tomato |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"The picture is worth catching for the delicate and toxic nuances of Rudd's performance." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"I Served the King of England may not be a totally riveting movie, but it is, in its gently insinuating way, a curiously rewarding one." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"Overall, I'm glad I was there." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Ikiru (1952) |
"A masterwork of burning social conscience and hard-eyed psychological realism." |
|
Tomato |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"By the end, the canniest viewers may not be fooled, but -- and you can believe this -- they may be mesmerized." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
In Country (1989) |
"Sounds like your basic TV movie, sunk by noble intentions. But here well meaning translates into well done." |
|
Tomato |
In the Heat of the Night (1967) |
"No deep solutions are suggested in this subtle and meticulously observed study. Yet Director Norman Jewison has used his camera to extract a cer tain rough-cut beauty from each protagonist." |
|
Tomato 4.5/5 |
In the Mood for Love (2001) |
"Recommended to anyone who's ever felt the fear and lure of falling in love." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
In the Name of the Father (1993) |
"By the end of the movie, whether or not you're a member of Sinn Fein, the Brits' brutality toward the Conlons will get your Irish up." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"The combination of dedicated actors and a superior script helps make Elah a far more satisfying film than Crash." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"This is a sad, subtle and very good movie, designed not so much to make you think, but to make you feel the impact of large events on little lives." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"Gore has brought all the scattered news stories together in one briskly narrated, handsomely illustrated place, and the power of his points is striking. Sobering. Ultimately alarming." |
Richard Schickel |
Splat |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"The sheer craft directors such as Leterrier lavish on them is awesome to me. I can't imagine how they orchestrate all the little pieces of film they require to build their big set pieces... [But] Why do they bother?" |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"Hollywood to Recession: Bring It!" |

Tomato |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"Once it gets going, Crystal Skull delivers smart, robust, familiar entertainment." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Infernal Affairs (2003) |
"It's amazing there haven't been a dozen movies like it." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
The Informant! (2009) |
"The Informant! says that people who do good or ill have complex motives for their actions, and that not everyone is knowable, instantly or ever." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Many Tarantino movies are female revenge fantasies, in which strong women plot the deaths of men who wronged them. In Shosanna and Bridget, the writer-director has fashioned two of his steeliest, most principled femmes fatales." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Insider (1999) |
"When Crowe gets to command the screen, The Insider comes to roiled life." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Internal Affairs (1990) |
"Gere is hypnotic, writer Henry Bean's construction is entertainingly intricate, and director Mike Figgis knows how to turn on a subtle, authentic erotic heat." |
|
Splat |
Interview with the Vampire (1994) |
"Why would Tom Cruise be playing Lestat, a gaunt, suave European vampire with a taste for young men? Because a big movie star can do whatever he wants." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Intimate Strangers (2004) |
"An Adults Only movie in the best sense of the term." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato 4/5 |
Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport (1999) |
"An extraordinarily fine and understated documentary." |
Richard Schickel |
Splat |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"I happen to think Sean Penn is one of our more admirable knotheads -- a fearless actor, a bold controversialist and, as he proved with The Pledge, a very strong director, capable of far subtler moral complexity than Into the Wild affords." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) |
"Here's an anomaly: a comedy about smart people." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Invictus (2009) |
"Who'd have thought that old Dirty Harry would, with Letters from Iwo Jima and Invictus, become America's prime director of international trauma and triumph?" |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Invincible (2006) |
"What's modestly refreshing about the way this story is told by director Eric Core and writer Brad Gann, is that the person with the largest doubts about going pro is Papele himself." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
The Iron Giant (1999) |
"A smart live-and-let-live parable, full of glancing, acute observations on all kinds of big subjects...that you can talk about with the kids for a long time to come." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
Iron Man (2008) |
"It's Iron Man to the rescue, yanking movies and the worldwide box office out of its months-long doldrums and into the stratosphere." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
It Happened One Night (1934) |
"Instead of attempting a journalistic study of bus-travel, regularly punctuated by comic touches, Director Frank Capra and Robert Riskin who adapted Samuel Hopkins Adams' story, fused the two." |
|
Tomato |
It's a Wonderful Life (1946) |
"It's a Wonderful Life is a pretty wonderful movie." |
