Mai 09
"This kind of film requires us to be very forgiving, and if we are, it promises to entertain. Angels & Demons succeeds."
75% - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Plucking the same violent, occult strings as "Da Vinci" while avoiding its leadenness, Angels keeps the action coming for the best part of 139 minutes."
70% - Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter
"Less turgid and aggravating than its predecessor, this cleverly produced melodrama remains hamstrung by novelist's Dan Brown's laborious connect-the-dots plotting and the filmmakers' prosaic literal-mindedness in the face of ripe historical antagonisms, mystery and intrigue."
60% - Todd McCarthy, Variety
More entertaining than "The Da Vinci Code," but still tosh.
40% - Kim Newman, Empire

Com a grande decepção que foi The Da Vinci Code, nem sei muito bem se hei-de ir ver A&D ao cinema. Li os dois livros e achei que eram boas obras de entretenimento. A sua mais-valia é mesmo essa componente e o facto de quando estamos a ler parecer que estamos a ver um filme, pela forma como Dan Brown vai alternando a acção entre capítulos. Ora, se isso não é aproveitado na adaptação ao cinema então tudo se perde na transposição.
As críticas, vindas dos EUA, são mistas. Ninguém diz que o filme é péssimo, mas também não há grandes elogios.

Mai 09
100% - Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter
"Blasting onto the screen at warp speed and remaining there for two hours, the new and improved Star Trek will transport fans to sci-fi nirvana."
100% - Todd McCarthy, Variety
"The clever and infectious reboot of the amazingly enduring sci-fi classic, director J.J. Abrams crafts an origin myth that avoids any hint of the origin doldrums. That's because he rewires us back into the original Star Trek's primal appeal."
91% - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"Vigorously played as a young man by Chris Pine, Kirk is a brilliant, sports-car driving, bar-brawling rebel who is finally shamed into joining Starfleet Academy."
88% - Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"Ultimately, when the end credits roll, we're left with the sense that Star Trek represents a good beginning. As a film tasked with getting all the characters together, re-booting a timeline, and finding a way to return a veteran actor to his beloved role, Star Trek works."
75% - James Berardinelli, ReelViews

94% de críticas positivas (em 10) no metacritic e 8.3 no imdb este é um filme que promete. Nunca fui um adepto ferveroso do Star Trek, mas vi alguns espisódios e filmes. Inicialmente não estava com grandes expectativas, mas com os trailers e o buzz positivo fui ficando convencido.

Abr 09

"Overall, I can`t say I was too disappointed with WOLVERINE, as truthfully, I didn`t expect it to be very good. (...) While it wasn`t quite the train-wreck I expected, it was still a pretty average superhero flick, and definitely not a film I`ll be revisiting anytime soon." 5.5/10 - Joblo
"Fortunately, Jackman is well-matched with Schreiber, who can sneer with the best of them and wears fangs well. The two have three spectacular battles together before squaring off against a formidable enemy atop a nuclear reactor."
"The effect-laden showdowns feel more dutiful than daring, and the rare moments of fun are parceled out frugally, like precious nuggets of adamantium."

Com 44% no Metacritic e 7.1 no imdb, acho que a frase que vou concordar mais depois de ver o filme esta noite é: "I can`t say I was too disappointed with WOLVERINE, as truthfully, I didn`t expect it to be very good." do Joblo.
