I Am Legend (2007) |
"In the end, this is a sci-fi zombie movie, folks." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"One of the season's most captivating surprises." |
David Sterritt |
Splat 1/4 |
I Dreamed of Africa (2000) |
"Moviegoers looking for exotic scenery and a good cry may find the picture enjoyable." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato A- |
I Have Never Forgotten You (2007) |
"Through archival footage and numerous interviews, including one with Wiesenthal's daughter, a richly layered portrait emerges of a man steeled not so much for revenge as for justice." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat 2/4 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Russell hasn't yet developed enough filmmaking savvy to juggle so many intellectual, emotional, and narrative elements." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato B |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"The script by Larry Doyle, based on his novel, has some smart flashes, and a few of the young performers resemble real people and not the usual prefab teen idols." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat C+ |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"I Love You, Man is the second movie this year -- He's Just Not That Into You being the first -- with a popular catchphrase for its title. This is one of the film's few distinctions." |
Peter Rainer |

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"Adam Sandler and Kevin James play courageous Brooklyn firefighters and best friends in this comedy that seems designed to be as bad as it can be." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato A |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"The world it depicts is too dangerous and too lovely to classify." |

I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"It's good to see Rock in a semiserious role for once, but this glossy comedy of temptation overcome lacks any raison d'être. Profanity and obviousness are no substitute for the wit and subtle insights of the original film." |
M. K. Terrell |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"Cleverly structured and smartly acted." |
David Sterritt |
Splat C- |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"I'm Not There offers up a daring conceit and then falls apart trying to fulfill it." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"It would be easy to overrate I've Loved You So Long, which often dampens its best effects with undue tastefulness, but the image of Scott Thomas, with her despairing resilience, stays with one." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"While it's hardly a philosophical film, the screenplay by Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman does have an idea or two." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato B+ |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"I enjoyed the computer-animated Ice Age, and its sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown, is just about as good." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato A- |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"The Ice Harvest isn't a subversive piece of work; it's not making some grand statement about the dark side of the holiday spirit. But what it is saying in its grimly funny way is that we can't always control the timing of our disasters." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"Trite but nice, this enjoyable comedy-drama has good-spirited warmth toward almost all its characters." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 3/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"A pretty wild ride if you're willing to leave your brain at the popcorn counter and let Mr. Mangold jolt your spine with every thriller-chiller trick in Hollywood's hefty book." |
David Sterritt |
Splat C+ |
Idlewild (2006) |
"This musical's uncertain blend of rap and 1930s jazz never completely jells, but the lovely sepia-toned photography lends period flavor, and the whole thing wraps up with a Busby Berkeley-style production number." |
M. K. Terrell |
Tomato B- |
If I Didn't Care (2007) |
"The Kingdom is ostensibly set in Saudi Arabia but it's really a fantasy action game about winning the war in Iraq." |
Peter Rainer |

Igby Goes Down (2002) |

Splat C- |
Il Divo (2009) |
"So much half-digested information is expelled, so many key incidents skate by, that the effect is like being force-fed a history lesson you never wanted to sit through in the first place." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B- |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"Steven Millhauser's short story about a stage magician in turn-of-the-20th-century Vienna has been expanded by writer-director Neil Burger into an overly stately affair that often substitutes production values for imagination." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Superbly acted." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 3/4 |
Imelda (2004) |
"She emerges as an energetic, narcissistic, and totally self-deluded woman." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 2/4 |
In America (2003) |
"The story has too many trite moments, but strong acting and a good-hearted attitude keep the picture afloat." |
David Sterritt |
Splat C+ |
In Bruges (2008) |
"[Director McDonagh's] seesawing between slapstick and horror comes across as opportunistic because ultimately he cannot place the lives of these men in a credible moral context." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Dreams (1998) |
"The movie's sanguinary suspense should keep horror fans happily howling; others may watch portions through their fingers." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato B+ |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"No great claims should be made for In Her Shoes. But there is something to be said for froth when it's expertly whipped." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
In My Country (2005) |
"Boorman treats this moving, important subject with restraint, tact, and candid views of horrors suffered by the nation." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 3/4 |
In My Skin (2003) |
"Unsparingly perverse and oddly spellbinding." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 4/4 |
In Praise of Love (2001) |
"Witty, contemplative, and sublimely beautiful." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 4/4 |
In Satmar Custody (2003) |
"Eye-opening documentary about a family that undergoes an awful domestic tragedy after moving from Yemen to a New York community dominated by an ultraorthodox, ultrastrict Judaic sect that considers Israel a bitter enemy." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Cut (2003) |
"It's an art movie for the masses." |
David Sterritt |
Splat C- |
In the Land of Women (2007) |
"His ostensible profession is writing soft-core porn, but he really wants to be a serious novelist. If so, the life experiences he gains in this soppy, schematic weepie won't help much." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato A |
In the Loop (2009) |
"There isn't an actor in this film, not even a walk on, who isn't perfection." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 4/4 |
In the Mirror of Maya Deren (2003) |
"A smart and moving documentary." |
David Sterritt |

In the Mood for Love (2001) |
"A romantic pleasure to watch." |
David Sterritt |

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) |
"This magnificent documentary about the Apollo missions to the moon contains oodles of original, beautifully remastered NASA footage that has never been seen before." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B- |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"In the Valley of Elah held me despite my many qualms. That's because the subject matter is innately powerful and resists Haggis's pigeonholing. He's latched onto something that's bigger than himself." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat 2/4 |
The In-Laws (2003) |
"A picture that's genuinely funny in spots. Unfortunately, it dissolves into the kind of sitcom silliness that would probably have you reaching for the remote if you were at home." |
Gregory M. Lamb |
Splat 2/4 |
Incident at Loch Ness (2004) |
"This exercise in Chinese-box filmmaking starts cleverly but becomes more preposterous as it goes along." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato A- |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat C+ |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"A smash-and-slash affair. This probably bodes well for the franchise but ill for those of us who think the world would be a better place with at least one less conflicted comic book antihero glutting the megaplexes." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"Sharper and smarter than any animation since Shrek 2." |
David Sterritt |
Tomato B |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"Crystal Skull is a fun ride, but if we have to wait 19 years for the next one, that's OK by me." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B- |
Infamous (2006) |
"Jones has a few moments of resonant pathos near the end and the film is entertaining enough." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B+ |
The Informant! (2009) |
"Damon is an agile comic performer, and Soderbergh knows how to serve him up without losing sight of the ultimate seriousness behind it all." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato B- |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Landa is such a wily and despicable concoction that, in movie terms, he's almost impossible not to like. And therein lies part of my problem with this movie." |
