 "Unpleasant when it isn't dull... Like so many lazy horror directors, Gonzalo López-Gallego knows how to startle, but not how to frighten.... interminable, intolerable..." |

 "Viewers who see it in 3-D will pay more for an even shittier experience than the one they would have had in 2-D." |

 "...every once in a while, a film limps into theaters so stitched together, it's a wonder it doesn't rip apart in the projector." |

 "...doesn't overreach so much as it overindulges in aimless pacing, inert acting, and a romance maudlin enough to make 'Twilight' look restrained." |

 "...a performance by Ashley Greene plays like an homage to 'Wild Things'-era Denise Richards, all arched backs, blank stares, creepy smiles, and flat line readings." |

 "Bravely or stupidly, both the film and its heroine charge on as if the introduction of terminal cancer didn't change things that much." |

 "...claims to be inspired by 'real acts of valor'... But is using their sacrifices as material for an action movie -- and a bad one -- that much of an honor?" |

 "...any sick wit gets drowned by director Tom Six's oppressive approach, which piles on one 'Can you take it?' gross-out moment atop another." |

 "The original was repulsive but impossible to shake. This remake is pure applause bait, which makes it barbaric in ways Peckinpah would never have dreamed." |

 "...feels like a half-hearted revamp of virtually any of the 'Conan' rip-offs that clogged up video-store shelves in the '80s." |

 "...only a fraction of the purse-slapping, fat-jiggling energy on display when the series began.... Even Big Momma deserves better than this." |

 "Director Samuel Bayer, a veteran commercial and music video director brings a slick visual sense but not a hint of vision." |

 "...overstuffed.... Apart from a few moments that capture the spiraling chaos of a large family gathering, it feels as plastic as a cake topper -- and just as hard to digest." |

 "It's 98 minutes of no fun and much gunfire, and though it's true in some respects to the 'Dredd' of the comics, the spirit of the original remains stubbornly on the page." |

 "...as dull as it is brainless, the work of creators who've spent far more time concocting silly stories about Shakespeare than learning from him." |
