Very Good |
 "...likable central characters, the already fascinating world of Greek mythology and solid direction by Chris Columbus.... the start of something that could be really good." |

 "...has the energetic pop of a Mick Jagger dance move, the infectious nature of a Jimi Hendrix guitar riff and the entertainment value of the entire Beach Boys catalog." |

Poor |
 "Director F. Gary Gray's pacing is so slow it feels like 10 years have passed. His shot selection looks like a cut-and-paste section from 'Movie Making for Dummies.' " |

Outstanding |
 "...rather typical.... But Alexa Vega and Luke Arnold have such a nice chemistry that they make the familiar feel fresh.... Like a well-written piece of music, 'Broken Hill' builds to an amazing crescendo." |

Fair |
 "...chocked full of situation comedy cliches.... The saving grace is Bledel. Whether it be a strange romantic relationship or a certain-to-fail job, Bledel is engaging." |

Weak |

Good |
 "...there is a special scene after the closing credit.... director Gavin Hood has created at least two different special scenes to be randomly added to the end of the movie." |

 "There is so much wrong with 'Battle for Terra' that it's hard to decide where to start." |

Weak |
 "Instead of an intelligent conversation, director P.J. Hogan falls back on pratfalls, funny faces and what look like leftovers from episodes of 'Will & Grace.' " |

Good (Not Great) |
 "...those entertainingly scary days of yesteryear... Toss in first-rate 3D, and the movie not only pays homage to the 1981 original but kicks it up about 1,000 notches." |
