Q: 1. It's great to see a high-tech thriller that thrills because of its actors, not its special effects.
2. Isn't there something awfully satisfying about the throbbing missiles and cathartic explosions that constitute this film's main excitement? Maybe so, but nothing else here delivers a comparable thrill.
3. The ending of the film is a bit of a letdown, but the balance of the film is both thought-provoking and suspenseful.
4. Post-Cold War thriller set aboard a Trident ballistic nuclear submarine.
5. If this film is based on real events, we're all doomed.
6. Quentin Tarantino contributes some priceless dialogue, but the wearying pattern of mutinies and counter-mutinies ultimately sinks it.
7. Great tension between the leads.
8. What the film lacks in slam-bang action it more than makes up for in sheer suspense.
9. Crimson Tide has everything you could want from an action thriller and a few other things you usually can't hope to expect.
10. Nope, this picture doesn't bear thinking about, but, if you resist that nasty temptation, setting all your mental gauges at Dead Slow, the flow of the action will see you through.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Boasting taut, high energy thrills and some cracking dialogue courtesy of an uncredited Quentin Tarantino, Crimson Tide finds director Tony Scott near the top of his action game.
1. I'm happy to report that Zoolander does indeed deliver the giggles.
2. Zoolander is sometimes inspired silliness, but silly is all it wants to be.
3. Overall, the movie's dressing-down of the fashion industry is a runway success.
4. If the Malaysians made a comedy about the assassination of the president of the United States because of his opposition to slavery, it would seem approximately as funny to us as Zoolander would seem to them.
5. An irresistibly brainless comedy.
6. Stiller attempts to turn bikini-size material into a maxi-length coat. All that does is create a product full of holes.
7. Zoolander's vain stupidity gets as wearisome on film as such behaviour is in real life.
8. Zoolander's superficial satire is more smarmy than charming.
9. A rare, modern stupid comedy: one that's smart about half the time.
10. Finally points Stiller in the right satirical direction, even though his central topic could just as easily be skewered in 10 minutes.
Consensus: A wacky satire on the fashion industry, Zoolander is one of those deliberately dumb comedies that can deliver genuine laughs.
Q: 1. This reawakens but doesn't reinvigorate a franchise that was already curling at the edges seven years ago, with The Mummy Returns.
2. If you wanted to be totally accurate it should be The Mummy With The Same Formula As Before Except In China And Without Any Mummies. It's only slightly less catchy than the current title.
3. Although the formula remains much the same tanna leave concoction as before, there are a indeed few new wrinkles on the dessicated old corpse, just enough to make this pleasant popcorn movie for viewers seeking action and adventure.
4. ...passable popcorn entertainment, it's just disappointing that they couldn't find anything new or original.
5. I know The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is nothing more than a popcorn movie... But even silly pop movies have standards and this one falls short of those.
6. It's one thing to make a film for the pre-teen market, it's quite another to make a film that sounds like it was written by one.
7. Disappointing threequel with a badly written script, irritating characters, dodgy CGI work, a miscast Maria Bello and an underused Jet Li.
8. The whole thing, despite its decent start and $100 million, looks a bit of a mess to me. An entertaining one, no doubt, for those who love the franchise, but a bore for those who don't much care but would have preferred a more well organised film
9. A crazy-quilt comic book with Michelle Yeoh as a sorceress, a tribe of Abominable Snowmen, a visit to Shangri-La, a three-headed dragon, and Hong Kong's most honored actor, Anthony Wong, as a nutcase general. Kids should love it
10. None of the action sequences generate any excitement at all and the in-between stuff is so wilfully nutty that it falls completely flat.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: With middling CG effects and a distinct lack of fun, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor finds the series past its prime.
1. You can appreciate Godard's vigorous early visual style.
2. This is the Godard that fans would like to take to the grave: jaundiced, naughty, immediate, very much alive.
3. Jean-Luc Godard is like a fine wine that is an acquired taste... and I prefer margaritas.
4. One of the most alluring and bizarre shapes that Godard's itchy search for truth and meaning took in those heady long-ago days.
5. It could shake up young viewers now as it 40 years ago, except that there's no French New Wave momentum of film passion.
6. It's cumulatively entertaining, and a fascinating and nostalgic time capsule of its era.
7. An odd, scattered, free-form, but thoroughly engaging film.
8. The kaleidoscopic film's meandering mirrors the uncertainty of that restless, tumultuous era.
9. ...a crucial, though not very satisfying, transitional work...
10. One of the quintessential '60s foreign art films, a bizarre melange of pop music, revolution, sex, movie allusions and poetry.
Consensus: A '60s time capsule stuffed with ideas about politics, pop culture, and the battle of the sexes, Masculine-Feminine is one of Godard's classic black-and-white films.
Q: 1. It's a bit of a challenge to watch, but Javier Bardem fans will want to check it out.
2. The popcorn out in the lobby would seem a more compelling attraction
3. Seems born not of contrivance but genuine, hurtful truth
4. Thanks to Bardem's performance the film finds plenty of sublime moments.
5. Si Los Lunes al Sol es una película tan humana, tan sensible y tan reveladora es porque hemos visto esos personajes acá nomás, a la vuelta de la esquina.
6. Full of sympathy for the worker's plight.
7. Will look and feel all too familiar to victims of the jobless recovery, or at least those who can afford to see the movie.
8. Okay, I'm saying it: Javier Bardem is the next Robert De Niro.
9. Moving, often hilarious examination of masculine frustration with a sharply observed script and impressive performances from its cast.
10. Delicado drama que, com seu elenco coeso encabeçado por um Bardem vigoroso e intenso, funciona como um testemunho do impacto psicológico e moral provocado pelo desemprego numa economia em recessăo.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Javier Bardem gives an outstanding performance in this hought-provoking (though occasionally plodding) movie about the effects of unemployment on a group of former shipyard workers.
