Half Past Dead (2002)

"There is an almost poignant dimension to the way that every major stunt Seagal's character ... performs is shot from behind, as if it could fool us into thinking that we're not watching a double."

Hamlet (2000)

"You'll probably wish this 21st-century Hamlet will make his moves sooner than most previous incarnations, if only to cut short the droning."

The Hammer (2008)

"Adam Carrola makes for a pretty agreeable leading man in The Hammer, a movie tailor-made to the comic strengths of the radio/TV personality."

Hanging Up (2000)

"Rarely gets far enough beyond the foibles stage to make you want to spend time with them, let alone share their life issues."

Hannibal (2001)

"Falls far short of creating the mesmerizing menace of its justly celebrated predecessor."

The Happening (2008)

"It's creepy, silly fun. And if it came from anyone else, it would be recognized as such. One thing is certain: The man hasn't lost his ability to entertain."

Happily N'Ever After (2007)

"It may satisfy the under-6 crowd with its bright colors and talking animals. But it's not much fun for the rest of the family."

Happy Feet (2006)

"If this digital dance party doesn't make your feet move just a little, you're not a sentient being."

Hard Candy (2005)

"The film's greatest flaw is its conception of its 14-year-old heroine (?) as an avenging angel of death, complete with otherworldly confidence and poise, devoid of the kind vulnerability that would mark a girl of this age."

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

"While not as outlandishly contrived as director Danny Leiner's Dude, Where's My Car? H&K is about as barely funny and just as hard to believe."

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"Although very much like the first movie based on J.K. Rowling's phenomenal fantasy best sellers, this second go-round possesses a quite pleasing, headlong thrust and a likably delinquent attitude."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"Unremittingly bleak, occasionally brilliant."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"Seem like Star Wars on broomsticks."

Harsh Times (2006)

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

"It's true that last summer's hit Pirates of the Caribbean is one tough act to follow, but The Haunted Mansion falls short even without such comparisons."

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003)

"Colombani deceives and manipulates viewers with a veteran's verve, but we never feel cheated."

Head of State (2003)

"Unfocused collection of softball social satire and barely connected skits."

Heading South (2006)

"While its main characters are admirably humanized, this is nevertheless a movie about economic exploitation. It's a very sexual work, but it is far more political at its core."

The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

"This one's all about the big, unbelievable guffaws, of which the movie delivers about a dozen. Some may still call it heresy, but it's nothing to get heartbroken over."

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)

"Atlantis certainly provides a pleasant diversion. Those who could use a nice, two-hour snooze will also be rewarded."

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)

"The movie's rich swirl of sounds, outlooks and attitudes truly incorporates something for everyone."

Heist (2001)

"Heist is a phoned-in job."

Hellbent (2005)

"Etheredge-Ouzts stages the stalkings and slashings effectively enough, but too much of the movie is devoted to suspenseless cruising."

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

"The summer's been loaded with superhero movies, some better and some worse than Hellboy II, but none is as exuberantly creative, nor as unconventionally committed to being so many things other than a live-action comic book."

Here on Earth (2000)

"The filmmakers cobbled together so many predictable set pieces and plot developments that you don't even need to see the movie to know what happens."
