Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"A revelation in the history of nerds on film, Eagle vs. Shark is a sincere work that treats nerds as human beings, rather than punching bags." |
Adam Bregman |
Tomato 4/5 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"Eastern Promises proves two things: First, director David Cronenberg knows how to end a movie better than just about anybody else in the business and, second, Viggo Mortensen is the greatest American actor that nobody in America cares about." |
Cole Haddon |
Splat 2/5 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"Biel still appears uncomfortable. She would do well to get more experience under her belt before reaching for a corset. If she caught any break, it’s that Easy Virtue only pretends to be upscale cinema." |
Justin Strout |

The Edukators (2005) |
"There's too much 'growing,' too much 'sharing' and way too much dialogue that's straight out of a freshman poli-sci class." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"A latter-day appropriation of the 1950s giant-insect archetype that's not funny enough to qualify as parody yet too crass to be considered homage." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
El Topo (1970) |
"A dated counterculture goulash long hyped as art by a blank generation desperate for something different." |

Electric Shadows |
"Chinese filmmaker Xiao Jiang makes an impressive debut with an extended flashback about two cinema-crazed kids coming of age amid the communist revolution of the early 1970s." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Repetitive, brutally edited and almost suicidally somber, Marvel's first spinoff movie is nonetheless several shades more watchable than Daredevil." |

Elf (2003) |
"Ferrell, God love him, just keeps up that industrial-strength happy face, enthusing like a lunatic until the idiotic Buddy becomes the de facto top dog of every scene." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"Covering for the clear lack of narrative meat, Crowe piles on as many sloppily contrived 'movie moments' as he can." |
John Thomason |
Splat |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"If you picked the four dimmest attendees at a Renaissance fair and told them to go remake The Princess Bride, you'd get something like this cloying stomach-churner." |

"Holm's strong performance never sinks to caricature." |

The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"A slapstick odd-couple adventure, punctuated with laugh-out-loud wisecracks, which still charms despite its shortcomings." |

Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"In the documentary Encounters at the End of the World, there’s a twist that swiftly counters Herzog’s instincts: Mankind’s industrial supremacy has not excluded the South Pole." |
Justin Strout |
Tomato |
The End of America (2008) |
"Attempting to transform this kind of polemic into an engaging piece of cinema might seem the height of folly. However, filmmakers Anne Sundberg and Ricki Stern are more than up to the task." |
Jason Ferguson |

End of Days (1999) |
"Wretchedly bad." |

Tomato 4/5 |
The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"The key to making this work is to keep the suspense building, which Butler does admirably." |
Brad Haynes |
Tomato 4/5 |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"An iconoclastic meditation on human devotion that might as easily be condemning its titular emotion as lauding it." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
Enemy at the Gates (2001) |
"Its suspense, though borrowed, remains genuine, and there isn't a bad performance in the film." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato 3/5 |
Enigma (2002) |
"No one, including the viewers, seems to know who can be trusted, and that's what makes this movie fun to watch." |
William A. Sievert |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Envy (2004) |
"The script doesn't build the way it should, floundering around from one extraneous subplot to another and abandoning Black's character for long stretches." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Equilibrium (2002) |
"An atrocious hodgepodge of dystopian-future clichés from wannabe auteur Kurt Wimmer." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Eragon (2006) |
"[Contains] a plotline that’s a pastiche of tired fate-demands-you-take-this-journey tropes." |
Jason Ferguson |

Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"For better or worse, this is Roberts' film. Thank heavens it's for the better." |
George Meyer |

Evergreen (2004) |
"Dreary and amateurish." |

Everybody's Famous (2001) |
"De Pauw has one of those soulful, comedically inclined faces that invites instant empathy, and the rest of the cast is likewise well chosen." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1/5 |
Everybody's Fine (2009) |
"It’s a manipulative guiltfest that drags its feet more sluggishly than its elderly protagonist." |
Justin Strout |
Splat |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Prepare for mild disappointment, partly due to the familiarity of the story arc and partly due to its suddenly humorless, excessively vague handling." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Evolution (2001) |
"Perhaps Reitman was so desperate to create the next Ghostbusters and to take advantage of Duchovny’s X-Files appeal that he forgot to read the embarrassingly awful script." |
Cameron Meier |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Ex (2007) |
"The Ex not only surprises in the consistency and effectiveness of its dark wit, but, more importantly, lets Jason Bateman do most of the comedic heavy lifting." |
Jason Ferguson |

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"Legal drama that's no more special or sophisticated than anything playing on TV these days." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1/5 |
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) |
"Exorcist: The Beginning is less a fully formed franchise product than a bunch of naughty bits strung together." |

Extract (2009) |
"While Judge juggles a considerable ensemble of overlapping dilemmas and countervailing agendas with admirable dexterity, it sometimes comes at the cost of characterization." |
William Goss |
Tomato |
The Eye (2003) |
"Along with the smudgy visuals, the first part of the movie goes heavy on the shock cuts and sudden loud noises -- effective interruptions in a narrative that leans toward the quiet and introspective." |
Richard C. Walls |

Eye of the Beholder (1999) |
