K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

"As an exercise in logistics and adversity, K-19 is compelling, but as a story about human decisions and moral issues, it's full of holes and cliches."

Steven D. Greydanus

K-Pax (2001)

"The most shameless psychological quackery to come out of Hollywood since Mumford."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
D-

Kangaroo Jack (2003)

"With Kangaroo Jack, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director David McNally have done for the PG rating what they did for PG-13 with Coyote Ugly."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

The Karate Kid (1984)

"Formulaic, manipulative, hokey — and thoroughly rousing… the film's sincerity and poignance have a way of steamrolling over gaps in plausibility and logic."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C

Kate and Leopold (2001)

"Likeable as they are, Kate and Leo are hampered by the heavy-handed storytelling going on around them."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Key Largo (1948)

"Like the similarly sweaty, claustrophobic 12 Angry Men, Key Largo is a rare adaptation of a stage play in which the physical constraints of the stagebound source material are a strength rather than a weakness."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

The Keys of the Kingdom (1944)

"Peck's star-making turn… earned him a Best Actor nod and established his screen persona as a ruggedly decent, dignified underdog."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A+

The Kid Brother (1927)

"The first silent film I ever saw that made me actually stand up and cheer… As a first introduction to silent film, I would pick The Kid Brother over the best of Chaplin or Keaton every time."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

"One of Miyazaki's most personable protagonists, a delightful cast of supporting characters, and a rambling, episodic story full of charming incident and irresistible imagery."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1950)

"Brilliantly sustains its outrageous black humor [with] a constant ironic contrast between the outward gentility… of its aristocratic milieu and the moral decadence… beneath it all."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
D-

King Arthur (2004)

"Having omitted virtually everything of interest from Arthurian legend and fact, Fuqua and Franzoni substitute a plot apparently borrowed from Fuqua's Tears of the Sun."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

King Kong (1933)

"One of those mad movies, like Moulin Rouge! or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that fully justifies and deserves all the best and worst that can be said for or against them."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

King Kong (2005)

"One of those mad movies, like Moulin Rouge! or Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that fully justifies and deserves all the best and worst that can be said for or against them."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A

The King of Kings (1927)

"In a genre that deserves the best artists can offer but is plagued by mediocrity, DeMille's flawed but powerful film remains one of Hollywood's most remarkable achievements."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

King Solomon's Mines (1937)

"Dated [but] still of interest… production values and special effects are impressive for the period… makes good use of authentic African locations and performers."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

King Solomon's Mines (1950)

"Doesn't quite fulfill its promise, in part because the title destination is too obviously a MacGuffin in which the film ultimately doesn't even feign mild interest."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

"Could largely be synopsized as the failure of moderate Christians to restrain fanatical Christians from oppressing innocent Muslims, provoking justifiable Muslim retaliation."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
F

Kinsey (2004)

"Sheer dishonesty."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

A Knight's Tale (2001)

"The kind of silly feel-good popcorn movie that film critics generally enjoy ripping apart, and mainstream audiences generally just enjoy."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

"Conventional but fairly solid adaptation of the King Arthur legend… benefits from its colorful pageantry and strongly Christian milieu, including a royal Catholic wedding and a transcendent moment of revelation involving the Holy Grail."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

"Both a surprisingly good kung fu movie and a solid family flick… The story is sweeter and shows more heart than you might think."

Steven D. Greydanus
