Tomato
3/4

V For Vendetta (2005)

"V for Vendetta is that rare popcorn headbanger that can make you question your complacent notions of right and wrong, of enemy and defender."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

Vacancy (2007)

"Not too disgusting, but not very imaginative or suspenseful, either."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Valentin (2004)

"The latest in a long and pandering lot of heartwarming movies about troubled foreign kids, Valentin benefits from a general sense of realism and behavioral credibility."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
2.5/4

The Valet (2007)

"The Valet isn't anything to leave an extra-large tip for, and you're not going to dent your sides laughing. But it is French comedy at its easiest to handle, and for some, that's all that it needs to be."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

Valiant (2005)

"Valiant is amiable enough, but there's little in the humor or story that could be considered fresh."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Van Helsing (2004)

"Yes, all of Sommers' vulgarian wrongheadedness is evident in Van Helsing, but this movie also possesses a film buff's respect for its frightening forebears."

Bob Strauss

Splat
1.5/4

Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006)

Splat

Vanilla Sky (2001)

"Why does it seem like the kind of misfire only Hollywood can produce?"

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

Vanity Fair (2004)

"Plays only marginally livelier than your average Masterpiece Theatre epic."

Bob Strauss

Splat

Vantage Point (2008)

"Increasingly complex -- and preposterous."

Bob Strauss

Splat

Vatel (2000)

"It'll likely earn Oscar consideration for its visual aspects, but no one will probably remember anything else about it."

David Kronke

Tomato
3.5/4

Venus (2006)

"Venus gives pleasure and then some. It's a marvelous movie that manages to make you laugh and break your heart all at once as it breezily ruminates on youth and mortality, beauty and brittleness."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

Vera Drake (2004)

"Another one of Leigh's rare but perfectly rendered period pieces."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

Veronica Guerin (2003)

"... I must admit that I have no real idea how accurately Veronica Guerin portrays the individuals involved. I can only say that, except in the case of Hinds' Traynor, they all came off as two-dimensional movie archetypes who converse via slogan."

Splat

Vertical Limit (2000)

"Too often finds itself on the slippery slope of playing to the lowest common denominator."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
4/4

Very Annie Mary (2001)

"Impossible as it may sound, this film's heart is even more embracing than Monty, if only because it accepts nasty behavior and severe flaws as part of the human condition."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"Ultimately, Jeunet's stylistic excesses get the best of him here, making the film an experience that feels uncomfortably like its title."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

"Penelope Cruz kick-starts Woody's latest, turning it into a dizzy, daffy treatise on the place of passion in art and love."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
1.5/4

View from the Top (2003)

"[Wald] never figured out whether he wanted to make a snarky send-up, an elementary romantic conflict (career or love: what a clever dilemma) or a you-go-girl empowerment fantasy. In the end, he failed at all three."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

The Village (2004)

"[Shyamalan] hasn't lost his eye as a director, but the story is a mess, boring at first and then becoming progressively sillier until it loses complete credibility."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

The Violin (2007)

"Of course, there's Tavira, who, even if he never appears in another film, has left an indelible mark on cinema with his work here."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato

The Visitor (2008)

"The movie is writer-director Tom McCarthy's follow-up to his 2003 debut, the well-liked The Station Agent, and it shares that film's offbeat, humanistic spirit."

Glenn Whipp

2.5/4

Volcanoes of the Deep Sea

"There's still enough to learn about and look at in Volcanoes of the Deep Sea to make it a decent way to spend an hour."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Volver (2006)

"Volver is really Cruz's coronation as the Spanish Sophia Loren."

Bob Strauss

Splat
0/4

Vulgar (2002)

"Unspeakable, of course, barely begins to describe the plot and its complications. Vulgar is too optimistic a title."

Bob Strauss
