Q: 1. The most inviting thing in the movie was the exit door.
2. Well-made, well-acted and at times very touching, despite featuring characters generally behaving like obsessed weirdos
3. A feather-light tale that never really takes off.
4. A comedy with fewer laughs than measles.
5. A charming little narrative movie that is so amiably ridiculous that you're sure it must have been invented... The three stars bring their most satisfying games, their comedy small and human-scaled rather than broad and slapsticky..
6. The opposite of the quiet, contemplative activity ornithology is supposed to be, this may well be the joke, in which case it's the only one.
7. If you are stuck in a rut and really want to follow your dreams, try this gentle, light-hearted comedy.
8. Frankel and co might have taken a bolder step into the darkly comedic look of the birder's psyche and added more of a gust of air into this film's feathers ...
9. If you go into it not expecting big comedy, "The Big Year" can be an enjoyable diversion for an evening. But it helps if you like nature.
10. If you can get past the obviously obscure subject matter, you'll find a really sweet film beneath.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Though made with care and affection for its characters, The Big Year plods along, rarely reaching any comedic heights.
1. This drama about a massacre in Yemen takes on unexpected interest because the main character, a fiery-eyed Marine combat hero played by Samuel L. Jackson, is presented as a believably flawed man.
2. The two actors are soldiers of hard-headed substance at attention in a field of milder actors at ease.
3. This two-hour drama -- like A Few Good Men and Courage Under Fire -- is worthy of your attention.
4. Rules of Engagement may be a feel good movie that lacks the imaginative thrusts of David O. Russell's The Three Kings, but for what it is this is one of the better examples.
5. Rules of Engagement isn't a bad film, but it's one that is often too dramatically and intellectually inert to warrant a full recommendation.
6. Cruelly drab.
7. Tommy Lee Jones can be a sleepwalker when he's not emotionally invested in a project; here he's in high gear.
8. A broad and obvious approach to ambiguous material that's virtually all plot mechanics with little nuance or characterization.
9. What distinguishes Rules is its use of xenophobia to bolster its legal arguments, and presumably tap audience's deep-seated prejudices.
10. A dud that tries to hide a simplistic plot and muddled message with frenzied flag-waving and overheated performances.
Consensus: The script is unconvincing and the courtroom action is unegaging.
Q: 1. Prestige biopics don't get much better than "The Imitation Game." This is a special film.
2. Turing is kept tweedy and neutered, as closeted in celluloid as he was in real life.
3. The film is anchored by yet another hypnotically complex Cumberbatch performance. He's turning greatness into a habit.
4. Unlike self-consciously unconventional biopics, The Imitation Game melds fact and invention with lucidity and sweep.
5. With a constantly shifting chronology, the filmmakers find and link the key moments in the life of a brilliant, complicated, fascinating man.
6. "As fine-tuned and moving a performance as Cumberbatch delivers - all the more impressive for being created from scratch, since no audio or video recordings of Turing exist - the film's Turing suffers an acute lack of an inner life."
7. It's a sad and heartbreaking story that keeps you nailed to the screen for its entire 114-minute running time.
8. Based on the biography by Andrew Hodges, Imitation illuminates Turing's brilliance in an engrossing and moving film that features a standout, Oscar-worthy performance by Benedict Cumberbatch.
9. It never quite brings everything together into a dramatic whole.
10. The film's prime force is Cumberbatch, a great actor whose talent shines here on its highest beams. It's an explosive, emotionally complex performance.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: With an outstanding starring performance from Benedict Cumberbatch illuminating its fact-based story, The Imitation Game serves as an eminently well-made entry in the "prestige biopic" genre.
Q: 1. The good news about "Superhero Movie" is that it is better than either of the "Fantastic Four" movies. The bad news is that it isn't that much better.
2. Superhero Movie would make a decent long-form short on the "Funny or Die" website, but at 85 minutes -- 15 of which are outtake-heavy end credits -- its powers of amiability wear off fast.
3. The gags are consistently weak.
4. Note to screenwriters: it's clear you think that jokes ending in the words "Myspace," "YouTube," or "Wikipedia" are automatically funny, but it just ain't so.
5. What's supposed to be a spoof of all the comic-book movies clogging theaters turns out to be an unfunny retread of the first Spider-Man.
6. Puerile and idiotic it may be, but Superhero Movie is nonetheless smarter than most of its lowbrow brethren in the Hollywood sub-sub-category known as the spoof movie.
7. The very act of writing critically about Superhero inspires something of an existential crisis -- no one likely to turn out for it is reading this review, and anybody reading this review is probably not inclined to see it under any circumstances.
8. It looks for all the world as if writer/director Craig Mazin took the screenplay for Spider-Man, propped it up next to his MacBook, and just went through it, inserting fart gags, pratfalls and the lamest of jokes.
9. Despite a few amusing moments, this underwhelming spoof is strictly direct-to-video material.
10. By-the-numbers screen parody fails to resurrect an increasingly tired genre.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Superhero Movie is not the worst of the spoof genre, but relies on tired gags and lame pop culture references all the same.
