Tomato
3/4

I Am Legend (2007)

"For the most part, I Am Legend delivers the kind of eerie suspense that will bring joy to the world of casual horror fans everywhere."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)

"It's a movie -- and an album -- you won't want to miss."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
2.5/4

I Capture the Castle (2003)

"The versatile Garai holds the movie together ... making even the more ridiculous passages of voiceover work into something heartfelt and believable."

Glenn Whipp

Splat

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)

"This truth-based account of the life of Italian environmentalist Kuki Gallmann is astonishingly bereft of dramatic momentum."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"That you feel sympathy -- and a kinship -- to these searchers makes Huckabees something you'll gladly give your heart to."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
2.5/4

I Served the King of England (2008)

"A comedy-drama with a lot of slapstick, combined with a history lesson about an important chapter of World War II and beyond."

Martin Wolf

Splat
2/4

I Spy (2002)

" The plotting is so generic that the villain played by Malcolm McDowell may as well have been played by Roddy McDowall for all the sinister distinction he's permitted to project."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"Comes up a bit short on both laughs and psychology."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007)

"Jeff Garlin, the former Second City actor who plays Larry David's manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm, has spun his solo show into a movie that's, alas, pretty light on laughs."

Evan Henerson

Splat

I Will Survive (1999)

"Albacete, Menkes and co-writer Lucia Etxeberria have a good ear for dialogue, but demonstrate less certainty at creating a wealth of memorable characters or situations."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"Undone by murky motivations, rhythmless dialogue that often sounds like treatise dissertations, a particularly unpleasant (and unconvincing) homophobic subtext and a stonewall lead performance from the usually charismatic Owen."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

I'm Going Home (2002)

"A film of precious increments artfully camouflaged as everyday activities."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
4/4

I'm Not There (2007)

"Todd Haynes' impressionistic take on Dylan manages to equal the artist."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"The heart of the movie is the wary dance of reconnection between the sisters, and, again, the beauty is in the details."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

I, Robot (2004)

"Purely mechanical scenario owes much to robot-think, but little to Asimov's scientifically informed humanism."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

Ice Age (2002)

"... Ice Age treads predictably along familiar territory, making it a passable family film that won't win many fans over the age of 12."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
2.5/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"For a sequel, it'll do."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"It's neither convincing -- nor, just as importantly clever -- in pulling off its thriller story line, and it's not funny enough to sustain your interest, save for its hilariously chaotic 20-minute middle section."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Ice Princess (2005)

"This is a safe, edgeless cinematic after-school special."

Evan Henerson

Splat
2/4

Identity (2003)

"An average thriller that's not nearly as smart as it thinks it is."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Idlewild (2006)

"By the end of Idlewild, some ironic thematic twists come nicely into play, but they're not enough to rescue a scenario that's been both too predictable and too weird for much too long."

Bob Strauss

Tomato

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"Give Igby Goes Down credit for taking its subject seriously regardless, and for having the grace to make good, fearless fun of it in the bargain."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"It looks mighty classy and seems to take itself seriously. But there's really not much to The Illusionist once you get past all that sleight of hand."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"The journey, with all of its ups and downs and chaotic jumble, feels true and is full of humanity, which makes Imaginary Heroes something special."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2004)

"Originally made for AMC, its solid collection of clips does illustrate one salient point: Depicting evil poorly is a sin unto itself."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

Imagine Me & You (2006)

"A gooey, tiresome bore, unconvincing in its lesbian relationship and deeply silly when it tries for big comic moments."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Imelda (2004)

"There may be no new revelations in Imelda, but the film still proves highly instructive in the ways in which power corrupts and politics attracts the opportunistic."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
2.5/4

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"Those pining for a 'classic' Miramax period piece won't likely be disappointed."

Glenn Whipp

Splat

Impostor (2001)

"There is so much action that there is hardly any room to explore the story's social and psychological themes, let alone some half-baked delusions."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

In America (2003)

"A mostly enjoyable hunk of immigrant exuberance."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

In Bruges (2008)

"Gleeson and Farrell have a fine, natural chemistry, so it's a shame when circumstances change and rob the film of its greatest asset, especially when that charm is replaced by silly shoot-outs that leave the audience stranded in an unintended purgatory."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

In Good Company (2004)

"[A] sublime, sentimental comedy."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

In Her Shoes (2005)

"For a big studio women's picture, anyway, it goes to some very uncomfortable extremes before working things out. It's refreshingly rough for most of the film."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

In My Country (2005)

"In My Country is a film with great ideas - and important ones. Frustratingly, they are undermined by Hollywood plot contrivances, generally poor writing and at least one case of woeful miscasting."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
2.5/4

In My Skin (2003)

"As her own object of self-desire, the appropriately toothsome de Van charts Esther's obsessive compulsion with well-controlled conviction."

Bob Strauss

Tomato

In Praise of Love (2001)

"Even when he's not at his most critically insightful, Godard can still be smarter than any 50 other filmmakers still at work."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)

"In Search of a Midnight Kiss gets L.A. like few films do. And writer-director Holdridge understands the aspiring, disappointed but still open-to-anything crowd on the fringes of show business quite persuasively."

Bob Strauss

Splat
1.5/4

In the Cut (2003)

"In the Cut will leave just about everybody wanting to jump into the nearest cold shower, whether to cool down or to snap themselves out of grunge-encrusted torpor."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

In the Land of Women (2007)

"Apart from leaning a bit much on his soundtrack and letting Olympia Dukakis indulge her crazy-granny jones, Kasdan does his work with a largely steady hand."

Evan Henerson

Splat
1.5/4

In The Mix (2005)

"Even an R-rated directors cut wouldn't be enough to make me sit through In the Mix again."

Bob Strauss

Tomato

In the Mood for Love (2001)

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful movie or one that possesses a more anguished sense of betrayal and loss."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)

"A one-of-a-kind documentary."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)

"In the Shadow of the Moon stirringly relives the moment and points the way toward a future when the feeling could again be achieved."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

"If there was a symbol for cinematic distress, it would be raised in front of any theater playing this movie."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

In This World (2003)

"[Winterbottom] gives us a glimpse of the hell people go through for the dream of economic betterment."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

The In-Laws (2003)

"Baby boomers, the film's primary intended audience, will lap up the nostalgic musical cues, but The In-Laws is funny enough to transcend any age barriers."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

"... a rousing, upbeat concert film about the end of the world."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

"A simpler story, more action and some nice visuals make for a satisfying, if not exactly incredible, monster hero sequel."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

The Incredibles (2004)

"An astonishingly smart satire of superheroes, James Bond movies and, just for fun, socially engineered mediocrity."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

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

"Ford, like Spielberg, is completely in his comfort zone here. That means no risks, but in the case of The Crystal Skull, that kind of safety can still yield plenty of old-fashioned fun."

Glenn Whipp
