Tomato 5/5 |
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) |
"Spielberg can never top this. Period." |
|
Splat |
Rain (2002) |
"We get light showers of emotion a couple of times, but then -- strangely -- these wane to an inconsistent and ultimately unsatisfying drizzle." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Raising Arizona (1987) |
"Nic Cage may never be better." |
|
Splat |
Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) |
"It will probably prove interesting to Ram Dass fans, but to others it may feel like a parody of the mellow, peace-and-love side of the '60s counterculture." |
|
Rap Dreams (2006) |
|||
Tomato 5/5 |
Rashomon (1950) |
"A classic head-game of perception versus reality." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Rasputin The Mad Monk (1966) |
"Ends a little abruptly, but overall this is cinema and Lee is a genius." |
|
Splat |
Rat Race (2001) |
"As a movie, Rat Race is one hell of a three-minute sketch, the best thing Lovitz never did on Saturday Night Live. The rest of it is a horrific mess that looks like something made years ago that sat on the shelf way past its expiration date." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"Writer-director Ramsay has a deft touch throughout: Her actors all seem natural, and her occasional touches of magic realism...help to soften the blows of squalor." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Raw Deal (1986) |
"Must-see if only for the moment when Arnold tries to say "Molested, murdered, and mutilated"" |
|
Tomato |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"We root for [Clara and Paul], even like them, though perhaps it's an emotion closer to pity." |
|
Splat |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"For better or worse, the majority of the jokes fall into two categories." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Real Genius (1985) |
"Pure '80s genius." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Reality Bites (1993) |
"This movie bites. Ben Stiller should stick to acting." |
|
Rebound (2005) |
|||
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Some of the jokes are cute, and the plot ... is admirably convoluted." |
|
The Reckoning (2004) |
"Moving, gripping, and powerful, suspenseful, stylish, and literate." |
||
Splat |
Red Dawn (1984) |
"Minus the Cold War paranoia, Red Dawn loses much of its edge." |
|
Red Dragon (2002) |
|||
Red Lights (2004) |
|||
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"One gets the sense, while watching Red Planet, that we are viewing the work of fan-boys, not creative geniuses." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Red Sonja (1985) |
"Arnold's last barbarian role -- worth it for that if nothing else." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Ref (1994) |
"Better in hindsight than it first appeared. Leary truly rises to the challenge of acting opposite Davis and Spacey." |
|
Tomato |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"There are a couple of sensational action sequences in Reign of Fire -- the aerial hunt and the final battle are awesome to behold -- but director Rob Bowman keeps us trained mostly on the bewildered humans/" |
|
Tomato |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"Frankenheimer has been providing vivid lowlifes and yanking our chains in the double- and triple-cross departments, and the great action stylist does it here again with renewed energy and what appears to be redoubled glee." |
|
Splat |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Beneath its rah-rah rhetoric and pigskin proselytizing, it's no more provocative or thoughtful than a Hallmark greeting card." |
|
Splat |
The Replacements (2000) |
"You will watch this movie and find it so familiar, you'll think you wrote it." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Repo Man (1984) |
"It's a movie about radioactive aliens in the trunk of a car about to be repossessed. If you got a problem with that, you got a problem with me!" |
|
Tomato |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"A fluent, intelligent piece of work whose sex and violence are anything but gratuitous." |
|
Tomato |
Resident Evil (2002) |
"To say it's the best video-game adaptation yet isn't much ... but Anderson's done a bang-up job." |
|
Respiro (2003) |
"A small but grand expression of the beauty of the feminine." |
||
The Return (2004) |
|||
Tomato |
"One of the best superhero movies ever made (really)." |
||
Tomato 3/5 |
The Return of Swamp Thing (1989) |
"Doesn't hold a candle to Alan Moore's comics that ran at the same time, but as camp it has its moments." |
|
Splat |
Return to Never Land (2002) |
"[A] stale retread of the '53 original." |
|
Splat |
Revolution OS (2003) |
"Ultimately, the film amounts to being lectured to by tech-geeks, if you're up for that sort of thing." |
|
Splat |
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) |
"Barrymore appears in nearly every frame ... she seizes the film and doesn't let go, to the point of strangling it to death." |
|
Right at Your Door (2007) |
|||
Tomato |
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) |
"Nam ... delivers an amusing and exceedingly cinematic comic-book phantasmagoria." |
|

The Ring Two (2005) |

The Ringer (2005) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
Ringmaster (1998) |
"I think you have to applaud the absurdity of the concept, even if the execution ain't always all that." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Risky Business (1983) |
"Still Tom's only convincing performance (apart from Losin' It). And that trainride -- honey!" |
|
Rize (2005) |
|||
Splat |
The Road Home (2001) |
"The ending does deliver an emotional payoff. But the road there is so straight and unvaried that the journey can be wearing." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Road House (1989) |
"The director's name is "Rowdy," and that's all you need to know about this redneck rampage. Yee-ha!" |
|
Splat |
The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
"The animators' talents and diligence have been corrupted on every front." |
|
Tomato |
Road to Perdition (2002) |
"It's wrenching but never manipulative, stoic but never dull, exhausting but never wearying." |
