"Good enough that the mistakes it makes are genuinely frustrating rather than feeling par for the course." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Literalizes the plot's existential underpinnings, consciously makes the subtext into the headline, and comes up with something unique and occasionally even coherent." |

I Spy (2002) |

I Woke Up Early the Day I Died (1998) |
"hough the film is distinctive, its unique style wore thin after about 20 minutes, and as it progressed, watching became a chore." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
I'm Going Home (2002) |
"A masterful film from a master filmmaker, unique in its deceptive grimness, compelling in its fatalist worldview." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"Loss of innocence? Yeah, maybe. But there's so much more at play here that it seems absurdly reductionist to stick I'm Not Scared with such a clichéd label." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat D+ |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"Incorporates and represents everything I hate about Bob Dylan, which is what everyone loves about Bob Dylan, so this is emphatically a movie for those who worship the man." |
Eugene Novikov |

I, Robot (2004) |
"The effects work here doesn't break any incredible new ground or shatter any records, and yet this is one of the most visually impressive movies I have ever seen." |

The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"A straightforward, intelligent noir comedy." |

Illegal Tender (2007) |
"Illegal Tender isn't a very good film, but it shows a genre filmmaker who is full of ideas and unwilling to settle." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"The last act dulls the impact of what is otherwise a rich, affecting movie, directed with an elegance that belies its 'period piece' label." |
Eugene Novikov |

Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"...some sort of bizarre experiment wherein writer-director Dan Harris tries to see what fresh hell he can unleash on his characters before his movie bursts at the seams." |

In America (2003) |
"Bewildering at times, sentimental at others, but never treacly, it shows us America filtered through memory and perception, and a troubled family filtered through America." |

In the Cut (2003) |
"Meg Ryan habitually misplaces her clothes, Mark Ruffalo may or may not be playing a serial killer and there's a scene where a man cuts a woman's leg into sections with ice skates. I dare you to be bored." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
In the Land of Women (2007) |
"Appealing performances from Brody, Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart are enormously helpful in giving the film what ultimately gets it across the finish line: an endearing, shaggy-dog likability." |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |

Inkheart (2009) |
"For a movie about the power of books and stories, it's a bit ironic that Inkheart is itself so poorly thought through." |

Inside Man (2006) |
"Not the kind of strongly polarizing work that the filmmaker has done in the past, but that makes it no less significant. It's a subtle tour de force.

The Insider (1999) |

Into the Blue (2005) |

Tomato A |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"The reason it's so troubling, even disturbing, is that notwithstanding the protagonist's profound goodness, the film insists on consequences for his narcissism, his naivete, his -- yes -- stupidity." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) |
"The sheer amount of chuckles in the script is enough to make you forget that Intolerable Cruelty is somewhat arbitrarily put together, never building the rhythm that would have made it into something memorable." |

Invincible (2002) |
"Might be one of those vanity projects in which a renowned filmmaker attempts to show off his talent by surrounding himself with untalented people." |

Iron Monkey (1993) |
"Perhaps the best thing that can be said for Iron Monkey is this: even when all else fails, it is never dull." |

The Italian (2007) |
"We soon grow tired of marveling at Vanya's preternatural resourcefulness and plead for the thing to end -- which it soon does in the sappiest possible way, soft-focus close-up and all." |
