Splat 2/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"Feels like a false start allowed to run the length of the track. There's an effort, but nothing is really accomplished." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
I Am Sam (2002) |
"So much of the movie exists for the sole purpose of driving its plot and culling some sort of emotion from the audience, that ultimately, you can feel just how empty it is." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0.5/4 |
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) |
"It's all terrible, ugly ... and not funny." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0.5/4 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"When the movie finally attempts to have a redeeming message, it's not as much a case of trying to eat your cake and have it too as it is trying to walk with your foot jammed firmly in your mouth." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"Even if it is generally amusing from time to time, I Spy has all the same problems the majority of action comedies have." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"Rock's humor is once again in its diluted form here." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"Too much myth and not enough man." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"The story, basic as it is, is simply setup for a series of gags and adventures, and the movie is inventive and imaginative in coming up with its humor." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"Works as a thrilling scare machine and an ambitious but structurally flawed gimmick." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"A highly personal look at the effects of living a dysfunctionally privileged lifestyle, and by the end, we only wish we could have spent more time in its world." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1/4 |
Illegal Tender (2007) |
"The script is so formulaic, the atmosphere so bright, the acting so off, it's a bit of a mess." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Impostor (2001) |
"Has all the values of a straight-to-video movie, but because it has a bigger-name cast, it gets a full theatrical release." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"Everything comes together in a climax that acts like one in a standard crime thriller but means a bit more." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Bedroom (2001) |
"Even with its flawed finale, In the Bedroom is a powerful experience, but because of its finale, the film does not feel complete." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Cut (2003) |
"Campion achieves a gloomy, unflinching portrayal of women in modern society with In the Cut." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
In the Land of Women (2007) |
"The kind of movie where everyone has problems, people reveal their deepest longings and fears to a person they just met, and every scene seems to start with the phrase, 'I have to tell you something.'" |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0.5/4 |
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008) |
"Boll is back and as bad as ever." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"A vitally important lesson, told in bland charts and alarming images." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"One of these days, Pixar is going to take a misstep, but now is not the time." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Infamous (2006) |
"Suffers from the recent and lingering memory of the superior Capote." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Informant! (2009) |
"We'd love to sympathize with Mark Whitacre if he weren't such a crook." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 4/4 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"There are no pure heroes or villains in Tarantino's vision of WWII, just varying degrees of the dredges of humanity in a time and place where the shadows have free reign." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Insomnia (2002) |
"Nolan has not made a poor movie... but he has made a poor remake." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) |
"The Coen brothers have been kept at bay, and it's not an encouraging sight." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Invasion (2007) |
"There are a lot of challenging elements in The Invasion, but ultimately, the movie is a bit too easy on them, itself, and the audience." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Invention of Lying (2009) |
"Its later digression in tone and reliance on formula are alternately incompatible and lesser than what comes before it." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Invictus (2009) |
"Overcomes the heavy-handed means of reaching its goal ... simply because Freeman believes every word and owns every sentiment that the Mandela of the film expounds, and we believe it right along with him." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Invisible (2007) |
"Full of stiff performances, stupid characters, and an incredibly creepy and occasionally nauseating love story, The Invisible is at least consistently misguided." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
It Runs in the Family (2003) |
"To show up to the set everyday must have been a chore in itself, but to actually read some of these lines and play some of these scenes with the little-to-no direction they seem to have received is a sign of true dedication." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
It's Complicated (2009) |
"There is charm to be found in the simplicity of fine comic performances, which It's Complicated has in its leads and at least one supporting cast member." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Italian Job (2003) |
"What sets The Italian Job apart -- or at least makes it a successful effort -- is a sense of uncertainty during the film's splendidly crafted bookend robbery sequences." |
