G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"At its best it's kind of fun, at its worst only kind of stupid." |

Galaxy Quest (1999) |
"With dry, understated wit and an attitude that is giddy without being sophomoric, Galaxy Quest succeeds in being one of the more enjoyable comedies of the season." |

The Game Plan (2007) |
"The kind of movie that Disney used to make a lot of back in the day: live-action, simple-minded, aimed at children, and kind of stupid." |

Garden Party (2008) |
"The characters aren't interesting, and the stories toggle between tawdry and ridiculous." |

Garden State (2004) |
"Zach Braff's appeal ... is his ability to underplay the comedy, to appear befuddled and intimidated as madness surrounds him." |

Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"I get bored reading a 'Garfield' strip, and it only takes 10 seconds. Imagine the effect of watching a movie that is just as dull, but 480 times as long." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Gentlemen Broncos (2009) |
"A deeply weird movie that bears no signs of any interference from any Hollywood types. For better or worse, this is what comes out of Hess' brain when he's left to his own devices." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"If Romero ever made use of a good script doctor, he'd have a combination of satire, scares, and gore that would be hard to beat. As it is, we have to settle for a rough-around-the-edges B movie." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Good, but not great ... Romero has been surpassed by his imitators, who have learned to make zombie flicks with greater skill than the master himself." |

Georgia Rule (2007) |
"Sloppy and awkward and inappropriate, as if the most insensitive student in the class was put in charge of the report on a sensitive subject." |

Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Whoever the inept Mark Steven Johnson had to sell his soul to in order to get put in charge of two big comic book adaptations, I hope it was worth it." |

Ghost Ship (2002) |
"Even as lame horror flicks go, this is lame." |

Ghost World (2001) |
"It is to the film's credit that it treats Enid more seriously than she treats herself, eventually developing her as a dynamic, sympathetic character." |

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"The screenplay never comes to grips with the fact that Connor IS A LOATHSOME HUMAN BEING." |

Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"Not educational in any real sense, but if you get past the annoyance of the 3-D glasses, it's a fascinating glimpse at an awesome part of world history." |

The Gift (2001) |
"One of the best-acted films I've seen in a while." |

Gigantic (2008) |
"Aselton seems to have ingested a hundred forgettable indie comedies, regurgitated them, and applied the random title Gigantic to what came up." |

Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |

The Girl from Monday (2006) |
"A flat, tedious film that, while perhaps accessible to a mainstream audience, would probably bore them, while indie-philes would admit that it simply has no substance." |

The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"Its premise is pure sex-farce, but its themes are introspective. It has, for all its audacious laughter, a wistful tone about it." |

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
