The Machinist (2004) |
"Riveting not only for its visuals ... it's also riddled with amusing metaphors." |

Mad Money (2008) |
"Save your money so you don't get mad that you spent it on this." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"Outranks any other animated film in recent memory if only for its dedicated avoidance of any and all lessons imparted or learned." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat 1/5 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Madagascar 2 is an overstuffed, unfunny adventure that adds nothing but length to the franchise's running time and, ultimately, disappoints as both a sequel and a standalone film." |

The Man (2005) |
"Utterly and fantastically boring and totally without purpose." |
Shawn Adler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"This film brings nothing new to the table, but rather just regurgitates every formulaic driven cop-against-the evil drug empire cliché that has come before." |
Spence D. |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"Writer-director Barry Levinson had better fortune (and results) with the prescient Wag the Dog than he does with his latest political satire, the uneven and uninvolving Man of the Year." |
Stax |
Tomato 4/5 |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"Rampant with religious symbolism, and fueled by ... vigilante subtext, audiences will be hard-pressed to find another film this year which pushes any of the same hot buttons." |
Glen Oliver |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"Maria Full of Grace is an important and powerful film. It serves both to educate and tell the story of a very strong-willed and thick-skinned female character." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"Director Sofia Coppola transforms what would otherwise be described as a costume drama into a subtle dissertation on the vagaries of our too-much-too-soon culture. But at the same time, Coppola's general approach to moviemaking seems to produce this kind" |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Marine (2006) |

Match Point (2005) |
"Allen's direction is superb, evoking the best performances from his cast and unraveling the story at the perfect pace." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"...a well acted, highly stylized, and very entertaining romp that unfolds on the screen with natural aplomb, elicits laughs, perhaps a few tears, but will ultimately fade from memory once you exit the theater." |
Spence D. |
Tomato 3/5 |
Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2007) |
"The propagandistic Maxed Out is ultimately undermined by the fact that, as vile as many of its corporate interviewees seem, its everyman subjects are often just as culpable in creating and perpetuating the whole mess." |
Stax |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003) |
"...an often confusing, incredibly bittersweet, yet mesmerizing examination of the cult of personality..." |

Mean Creek (2004) |

Meet the Fockers (2004) |

Meet the Robinsons (2007) |
"A sweetly-rendered story that also happens to look terrific." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat .5/5 |
Meet the Spartans (2008) |
"Inane comedies can be fun when done well, but bad inane comedies are simply embarrassing. You feel pity for the actors making fools of themselves, and flabbergasted that a studio probably passed on making so many other more worthy projects instead." |
Stax |
Tomato 4/5 |
Melinda and Melinda (2005) |
"As an exploration of the dual nature of comedy and drama, Allen has crafted a work that compliments his career and his obsessions perfectly." |
Jeff Otto |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) |
"An exotic film that feels abbreviated." |
Todd Gilchrist |

Michael Clayton (2007) |
"Michael Clayton's only real shortcoming is its name -- seldom has a more complex and interesting story been given a simpler, less appealing title." |

Millennium Actress (2003) |
"...a well-crafted romantic storyline that will undoubtedly ring true with adventurous moviegoers looking for something off the beaten path." |

Miracle (2004) |
"Director Gavin O'Connor has given us one of the greatest sports movies of all time and the best hockey movie this side of the comedic hockey masterpiece Slap Shot." |
Jeff Otto |
Splat 2/5 |
Miracle at St. Anna (2008) |
"By choosing for his definitive portrait a tale based on a fictional novel rather than an actual true story, Lee has undermined his own efforts to properly depict the wartime experience for WWII-era blacks." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat 2/5 |
MirrorMask (2005) |

Miss Potter (2006) |
" Much like star Renée Zellweger's portrayal of its famous title character, Miss Potter is a strange, split-personality kind of thing." |

The Missing (2003) |
