Gangs of New York (2002)

"Scorsese's passionate and laudable intent is to show young America at its most elemental, boiling over with bigotry and resentments, free of the idealistic gloss our fiction often gives our history."

Gerry (2003)

"It's a filmmaker's Full Monty. Bold. Brave. Sort of embarrassing. You may wish he'd kept his proverbial pants on."

Ghost Ship (2002)

"It would be nice if [Beck] could rely on the script to get him through, but since it's filled with dialogue like 'Don't go in there,' it can't save the day."

Gigli (2003)

"Painfully dull and remarkably tasteless."

Gladiator (2000)

"A clever cast."

Glory Road (2006)

"Glory Road ranks near the top of recent 'inspirational' sports movies, leaping over such efforts as the unsurprising Dreamer, and the fine but overly directed The Greatest Game Ever Played."

Gods and Generals (2003)

"It's hard to imagine any African-American not taking affront at Gods and Generals, which doesn't even get around to the controversy of slavery until more than halfway through the movie."

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

"That's how long it ought to last in theaters -- unless there's a hidden audience out there for formulaic movies with hack scripts."

Good Luck Chuck (2007)

"I could live with Good Luck Chuck's determination to humiliate a cutie pie such as Alba and its ongoing cruelty toward obese women."

The Good Shepherd (2006)

"The cinematic spy world has never been so dreary."

A Good Year (2006)

"A Good Year is the story of a jerk in an expensive suit who inherits a French chateau and, after a few transformative weeks under the Provençal sun, becomes a jerk in a ratty bathrobe."

Gothika (2003)

"A preposterous movie, and Berry is preposterous in it."

The Great Raid (2005)

"The Great Raid has an old-fashioned feel -- that is, old-fashioned in a musty way."

The Grudge (2004)

"One of those horror movies that thoroughly spooks you while it's up on the screen, but as soon as it's over, the fear dries up and is replaced by questions about how the pieces and parts do -- or in this case, don't -- fit together."

Gunner Palace (2005)

"A frank look at life on the ground in Iraq."
