I Am Legend (2007) |
"The depiction of the eerily overgrown city is one of the first genuine and unobtrusive testaments to the groundbreaking power of computer-generated effects in years." |
Kevin Maher |
Splat 1/5 |
I Can't Think Straight (2008) |
"I Can’t Think Straight, a glossy contemporary cross-cultural romance between a Palestinian Christian girl and an Anglo-Indian Muslim girl, is spectacularly dreadful." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 4/5 |
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007) |
"While not as erotic as other films by this director, there’s a languid sensuality to the story." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 4/5 |
I Love You Phillip Morris (2009) |
"Funny, sometimes tender and ultimately unsettling black comedy." |
Damon Wise |
Tomato 3/5 |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"The real problem is that it doesn’t have any heart. This is by-the-numbers film-making in which even those moments when the characters step off the merry-go-round to catch their breath feel manufactured." |
Toby Young |
Tomato 3/5 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"Ultimately, I Love You, Man doesn’t take us anywhere we haven’t been before, but there is no shortage of laughs for those who decide to come along for the ride." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 1/5 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"The film-makers behind I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would probably claim a message of tolerance and personal growth, but this woeful Adam Sandler vehicle is as nasty a piece of sniggering homophobia as I have seen in a long time." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"A terrific attempt to express a young boy’s moral awakening using intense colour schemes, wide-angle lenses and unforgiving close-ups" |
James Christopher |
Tomato 4/5 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"One of the sexiest pieces of cinema I’ve seen at a festival." |
James Christopher |
Tomato 3/5 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"The directorial debut from the novelist Phillippe Claudel, this is a classy, emotionally intelligent portrait of two women rebuilding a relationship." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat |
I, Robot (2004) |
"A B-movie blast about power and greed" |
James Christopher |
Tomato 4/5 |
I.O.U.S.A. (2008) |
"Unexpectedly entertaining, given that it’s about dodgy accounting on an epic scale, the film predicts an economic cold shower that is about to douse America’s prospects, thanks to its ever-expanding national debt." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 2/5 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"Whereas the previous chapters were sweetly anarchic, full of wisecracks and narrative digressions but also curious about eco-issues such as global warming and the extinction of species, this effort is dramatically inert and uninspired." |
Kevin Maher |
Splat 2/5 |
Ichi |
"The villains are from the broad “har-de-har” school of banditry, the action is mostly fudged, and the resolution achingly obvious." |
Kevin Maher |
Tomato 3/5 |
Igor (2008) |
"You do feel that, with it’s knowing one-liners and classic movie references, Igor is trying terribly hard to amuse an adult audience, possibly at the expense of children it should be entertaining." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 3/5 |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"Norton looks tortured and old before his time as the humourless Eisenheim." |
James Christopher |
Splat 2/5 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a film with a huge heart and a dazzling eye, but it does little for the very thing it is trying to celebrate: the imagination." |
James Christopher |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"It’s mad and beautiful and bewildering; it represents a unique vision; it’s a peek into the treasure trove of oddities that is Terry Gilliam’s head." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 2/5 |
Imagine That (2009) |
"You’re left with the feeling that the film-makers don’t see a conflict between the profit motive and paternal love." |
Toby Young |
Splat |
Imagining Argentina (2003) |
"The power of the film is its roots in official truths which are already melting away." |
James Christopher |
Tomato 3/5 |
Import/Export (2009) |
"Seidl has a distinctive and disturbing vision, but he is not inclined to explore the humanity of his characters, just their status as victim or abuser." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 3/5 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"A wonderfully absurd film. McDonagh is never stuck for a brilliant kiss-off line. I doubt he’ll ever be stuck for an audience either." |

Tomato 3/5 |
In Prison My Whole Life (2007) |
"Essentially a Trojan-horse documentary that purports to deal with the crime, it is actually a discussion on race, politics and the American psyche." |
Kevin Maher |
Splat 2/5 |
In Search Of Beethoven (2009) |
"If the interminable length of In Search of Beethoven doesn’t put people off this repetitive documentary about “the world’s greatest composer”, then the lack of real insight into the man rather than the myth surely will." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 4/5 |
In the Hands of the Gods (2007) |
"If ever there was a film that celebrated the joy of existence, the heady thrill of scaling a seemingly insurmountable challenge, it’s this shambling documentary." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 4/5 |
In the Loop (2009) |
"The satire steams and fizzes like concentrated sulphuric acid. It is blisteringly offensive. Armando Iannucci’s debut feature film In the Loop is the kind of movie that makes you proud to be British." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 5/5 |
In the Realm of the Senses (1976) |
"As the soundtrack moans in sympathy while the deep crimson colours dazzle in delirium, the entire movie comes desperately close to approximating the pell-mell emotional turmoil of sex itself. Not porn, sex." |
Kevin Maher |
Tomato 3/5 |
In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) |
"You probably won’t find a more comprehensive document of space exploration on film." |
Kevin Maher |
Tomato 4/5 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"Jones’ Oscar-nominated performance is impeccably judged. His low-key turn as a man forced to question everything from the kind of father he was to the nature of the country he fought for could be the contender to give Daniel Day-Lewis a run for his money." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 1/5 |
Incendiary (2008) |
"The movie plunges straight down that treacherous black hole that exists between fact and fiction and the inability to replicate either." |
Kevin Maher |
Tomato 4/5 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"Welcome back Indy. Lord knows we’ve missed you." |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"The good news for Ford fans is that Indy may be older and greyer, but there’s still a spark to his repartee." |
John Harlow |

Infamous (2006) |
"Toby Jones defies the odds with an extraordinary impersonation of the author in Douglas McGrath’s Infamous." |
James Christopher |
Tomato |
Infernal Affairs 2 (2003) |
"I was spellbound by this film. I can’t wait to see it again. It is clever on every level: period, music and performance" |
James Christopher |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Informant! (2009) |
"Director Stephen Soderbergh and its star Matt Damon have crafted a skittish caper movie, a pyrotechnical display of colourful lies that unravel to a giddy retro score." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 2/5 |
The Informers (2009) |
"Directed by Gregor Jordan, Ellis’s aimlessly dissolute collection of stories just doesn’t hang together as a coherent whole." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 2/5 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"The final impression of the movie — that it’s crass, juvenile and profoundly distasteful — overrides its more enjoyable moments." |
Wendy Ide |
Tomato 4/5 |
Inkheart (2009) |
"Inkheart shows why books are wonderful yet dangerous places; how a well-told story unlocks the imagination; and how words unleash the most unpredictable emotions." |
James Christopher |
Tomato 3/5 |
The International (2009) |
"This satisfyingly cynical dig at the world of high finance should please anyone with a taste for paranoid political thrillers." |

The Interpreter (2005) |
"Offers something more meaty and topical than the pulling power of its glittering parts" |

Interview (2007) |
"The constant see-sawing of emotion eventually becomes repetitive and wearisome." |
Kevin Maher |
Tomato 3/5 |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"Although McCandless’s story is undoubtedly fascinating, and Penn’s film contains moments of magic, it is a lesser piece of work because it prefers to accept its subject at face value rather than ask a few crucial questions." |
Wendy Ide |
Splat 2/5 |
Introducing The Dwights (2007) |
"You can’t help but mourn for the hint of an intriguing film that could have been." |

Is Anybody There? (2009) |
"The rude and real joy is Caine’s performance." |
James Christopher |
Tomato 4/5 |
Is Anybody There? (2009) |
"It’s a tragic farce. There are moments of dramatic pudding when the anxieties and fears that Clarence and Edward share grind in opposite directions. But the magic is in the tiny, immaculate stitches." |

It's All Gone Pete Tong (2005) |
