 "...highly original, remarkably captivating, and, well, just plain cool.... a totally satisfying (and, in many ways, cathartic) film." |

Poor |
 "...flat and dull. And that's exactly how I felt when I left the theater afterward, dizzy and nauseous, having sat stock still for the duration of the movie barely cracking a smile." |

 "Think we need more female driven comedies? If there could be more movies like 'Easy A,' definitely!... packed with inventive humor." |

 "...a whisp of a musical... brightly-colored, briskly-paced... The songs aren't exactly the catchiest, its message of tolerance far from new, but it sure is lively while it lasts." |

 "...gorgeous but deeply frustrating... at a scant and transitory 103 minutes 'Never Let Me Go' doesn't take the time to have you in the first place." |

 "Maybe the teen sex comedy isn't completely worn out after all. Maybe all it needed was a smidgen of emotional truth and some fresh-faced kids..." |

 "...if you happen to be the kind of person that can play mindless shooters on end and who doesn't care if action movies have the decency to make sense..." |

 "...ever gripping and always tense.... one the most exciting crime thrillers of recent years..." |

Poor |
 "...a meta bore of media manipulation and scrutiny... an exercise in non-fiction and an experiment with documentary form, as failed as it may be in execution." |

Fair |
 "...an intermittently funny romantic comedy that piles on obscenities and sexual innuendo in a desperate attempt to be hip and relevant.... only works in fits and starts." |

 "...a little ungainly, a bit crowded, but pretty much what you'd expect for a real movie based on a fake trailer." |

 "It's a gorgeous film, but its restraint offers clarity without suspense, prodding the story forward without building meaningful tension for its main character." |

 "...a fascinating, uncomfortable, character-driven look at matters of faith and fear.... stands as one of the best horror films of 2010." |

 "...a buffet of Gritty Crime Drama clichés that offers no surprises but nothing egregiously stupid, either." |

 "Just when you think the film has peaked, Aja and screenwriters Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg manage to ram another syringe of adrenaline into its heart..." |

 "...the laughs are sporadic at best. But that performance by Bateman is enough to take a wacky-creepy premise and elevate into something gentle and sweet..." |

 "...it'll just about keep parents entertained as well as kids, and even in a family marketplace as saturated as this, that's a rare bit of magic." |

 "...genial yet thin... the atmosphere is friendly and convivial.... relies on overly-roasted chestnuts and stale Sunday school lessons..." |

 "...almost bad enough to make me pity the 'Twilight' film series for being the subject of such limp, toothless mockery." |

 "...thoroughly contemplated, considered, and executed, but it isn't deeply felt - a work of art produced by an expert who possesses superlative technical skill but no passion." |
