 "For the most part it's a savory treat... At its core, this is the story of a lovesick musician whose only cure is death. Don't worry, it's not as glum as it sounds." |

 "...a loud, violent, overlong mess of a movie, reeking of melodrama and filled with beautiful actors... an overwrought action film that will bludgeon you into submission." |

 "...a skillful haunted-house film that will soon evaporate from your memory like the ghostly specter of its title." |

 "Michelle Williams disappears so effortlessly into Monroe's translucent skin that the camera lens seems to fog up with desire. She's that good." |

 "The movie's war-torn African setting suggests a built-in socio-political subtext. But the film stays fairly straightforward, which makes the sight of a white guy shooting down African villagers a little odd, even if they are zombies." |

 "Here's what's missing: tension, drama, and most of all, a sense of wonder. This is a superhero movie, isn't it?" |

 "A Tribe Called Quest deserved a fully realized documentary and Rapaport delivers a portrait that is as naked as they come." |

 "...pure bubble gum, from its shiny wrapping to its mushy insides to its fleeting aftertaste. And sometimes, there's nothing wrong with chewing bubble gum." |

 "...stocked with the usual cavalcade of cloying life lessons. Love your mother (duh). You don't know what you've got till it's gone (thanks). And all you need is love (got it)." |

 "...fresh, funny and a bewildering surprise.... Now, a note on the 3-D. It's good.... a buddy comedy with actual emotion." |

 "...frantic, stylized action.... playing a juiced-up superhero who 'refused to die' seems to always result in the same thing for Johnson. It's simply adequate." |

 "Stone's visual tricks are tired... He employs split-screen sequences without rhyme or reason. The ghost of Langella shows up in a truly laughable sequence." |

 "...tries its hardest to blend Apatow's bromance humor with the rom-com's sappy conventionalism. The result is a goulash that just doesn't taste right." |

 "...tells its entire story from the innards of a loud, careening metal tank. It is a grisly experience, and one of the greatest war films I have ever seen." |
