I Am Legend (2007) |
"The movie year's most expensive and ambitious sci-fi spectacular, I Am Legend, is three movies in one: a futuristic effects-o-rama, a zombie thriller and a survivalist parable. Each is better than average, and the experience is fairly gripping." |

I Am Sam (2002) |
"...two hours-plus of numbing melodramatic nothingness drowned in the sticky, sweet syrup Sam loves so much on his waffles. This has more than even he could choke down." |

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002) |
"Not since Jean Luc Godard filmed the recording sessions for the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil has a filmmaker gotten this close to the creative process of musicians at work in the studio." |

I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"Director Tim Fywell, a veteran of British TV drama, executes his work handsomely and self-consciously." |
Sean Axmaker |

I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007) |
"It's a return to the dreamy style of Tsai's studies in urban alienation and social disconnection, in which feelings often are suppressed and words are rarely spoken..." |
Sean Axmaker |

I Dreamed of Africa (2000) |
"Far from a great movie, it nonetheless does its job as a family adventure and saga of a woman's personal growth." |

I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Russell ... has plenty of vision, intelligence and gall but he doesn't quite have the steady hand and comic flair that a masterpiece- wannabe such as this demands." |

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"It's kind of like "Tootsie," only without the drag. Or the class. Or the laughs." |

I Served the King of England (2008) |
"A young man's plans to become a hotel magnate are thwarted by the fickle finger of history in this comical eulogy for Czechoslovakia." |

I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"It may be cruel to say it, but there's also no getting around the fact that Rock doesn't have the charisma to hold this thing together. He's great at stand-up, and not bad in supporting roles, but he simply doesn't have the stature of a leading man." |

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"Hodges cuts the film like a diamond, but it's just an exercise in cut glass, an impressive surface that only looks tough." |

I'm Going Home (2002) |
"A minor film with major pleasures from Portuguese master Manoel de Oliviera..." |

I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"In the end, its elements come together with the kind of genuinely thrilling, deeply satisfying climax that even the better Hollywood movies just can't seem to pull off anymore." |

I'm Not There (2007) |
"It's so rich with ideas and visual details and imaginative gestures that you can lose yourself in the cinematic musings." |

I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"I've Loved You So Long is a heart-rending movie that takes the audience by surprise." |

I, Robot (2004) |
"It may not be Asimov but its plot is truly labyrinthine, it works a specific theme and it's happy to end itself in a shroud of enigma." |
William Arnold |

I.O.U.S.A. (2008) |
"Loaded with graphs, facts and statistics, it is too weighty a lesson in economics to be digested in 90 minutes." |

Ice Princess (2005) |
"We get that the heroine is geeky (laying groundwork for the duck-to-swan transformation), but must she babble physics formulas at parties?" |

Idlewild (2006) |
"The most ridiculous period film since rappers took on the Old West in Posse." |

Illusion (2004) |
"Several of its transitions are glaringly contrived, and its morality tale never quite comes together to be the shattering spiritual experience it wants to be." |

The Illusionist (2006) |
"A well-mounted, well-acted and sporadically engrossing historical romance that isn't quite as magical as it wants to be." |

Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"The questions are more interesting before Harris answers them in all-too- neat explanations that come off as a cheap, painless way to solve problems with much deeper roots." |

Importance of Being Earnest (2002) |
"Great fun, but it's just a tad this side of being overproduced, much of the author's dry wit gets lost in the scenery." |

The Impure Glance (2003) |
"(Giuseppe) Rocca fills the film with his exquisitely crafted images and the dreamlike cinematography of Antonio Grambone, but never connects emotionally with the characters." |

In America (2003) |
"Sheridan can't pull off Mockingbird's trick of playing the cocooned magic of childhood against compromised adulthood in a poignant way." |

In Good Company (2004) |
"It's a smart, savvy and satisfying Hollywood comedy set in the real world of economic survival, family responsibility and grown-up decisions with real consequences." |

In Her Shoes (2005) |
"The movie is so well-cast, sympathetically acted and delicately directed -- and so genuinely touching and funny -- that it leaps right out of the narrow confines of the family bonding formula." |

In My Country (2005) |
"Jackson appears uncomfortable in his role, the scenes leading up to his romantic involvement are strangely unconvincing and the arc of both characters' emotional and political growth is choppy and contrived." |
