Q: 1. The overall result isn't drama as much as it is a dissertation.
2. Sort of an existential version of a Seinfeld episode.
3. Just what makes us happy, anyway?
4. It wonders what life is all about.
5. Flawed, the movie certainly is, but Thirteen Conversations About One Thing is essential viewing for moviegoers who don't mind being made to think.
6. A small, quiet movie, full of surprises and powerful character moments.
7. 13 Conversations About One Thing is a very unusual but thoroughly accessible film.
8. The actors really draw you into their Conversations and make you want to know what their sentence in life will be.
9. Thought-provoking and engaging.
10. The dialogue is more vibrant and thoughtful than what you'll find in most movies, and gimmick free.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Thirteen Conversations About One Thing is an intelligent and poignant look at lives intersecting.
1. Oh, lighten up! It's a pulpy combo of Starship Troopers, The Dirty Dozen and Sky Captain. Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon.
2. not only ridiculously lame but sickeningly contrived
3. Mutant Chronicles is The Dirty Dozen - but with murderous mutants!
4. ...suffers from a pervadingly low-rent sensibility that proves impossible to overlook.
5. You won't understand what's going on and, even worse, you won't care.
6. I dearly hope John Malkovich got paid handsomely for his two days of embarrassment on-set.
7. Every guy has watched an action film and wondered when we'd get to the good stuff, but from minute one we're given "the good stuff," but it's just not executed well enough, and the film is too kitschy to really be enjoyed.
8. The feature is better executed in a shoot-first-ask-questions-later style that encourages silence and brutality. Once the material is asked to explain itself, the entertainment value of the film curdles immediately.
9. Mutant Chronicles has an intriguing premise, good performances and some decent effects, but it's let down by some terrible pacing and an extremely dull script.
10. There is some excitement to be had. However, it looks like a computer game unwisely made into a movie without the money to do it justice.
Consensus: Bad acting, poor CGI and clunky script mean this sci-fi thriller is lacking in all departments including the thrills.
Q: 1. Amiable but no more.
2. Unfortunately, bees just aren't that funny.
3. A surprisingly unfunny, belabored and unimaginative comedy, Bee Movie is a huge disappointment considering the extent of Seinfeld's participation.
4. Watching this pun-filled cartoon is like falling into a tray of children's watercolors -- the warm end, where oranges and yellows and ambers wave.
5. Bee Movie has a few charming moments and a scene or two with legitimate hilarity, but mostly it's just mediocre.
6. Bee Movie doesn't touch the bar raised so high by Pixar, but it creates a little buzz of its own.
7. Bee Movie is a cute movie. Not that there's anything ... well, you know the rest. But cute is not what adults expect from Jerry Seinfeld, although children will be delighted.
8. Feels slight and attenuated, even at a brisk 82 minutes.
9. The movie has some pretty pictures and a few good jokes, but not nearly enough. And the story suffers from sitcom attention-deficit disorder, veering off in a new direction every half-hour or so.
10. What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Bee Movie has humorous moments, but its awkward premise and tame delivery render it mostly forgettable.
1. As the debut entry in the 2001 summer movie derby, The Mummy Returns rocks.
2. If The Mummy Returns can't sell us world-class effects, what does it have to offer? Nothing but remembrance of a funnier, smarter, scarier version from two years ago.
3. Confusing, loud, violent and so bloated with special effects that you want to crawl into a dark hole when it finally draws to a close after two long hours.
4. Guaranteed to bring out the wide-eyed, popcorn-munching, let's-go-see-it-again kid in you.
5. If you liked the earlier Mummy, you'll probably like this one. In fact, at many points you'll probably think you are watching the earlier one.
6. A little more ambitious, a little more frenzied and a lot busier -- bustling with effects and runaway action scenes -- it's less "Mummy 2" than "Mummy Squared"
7. A sequel that's better than the original.
8. Doesn't stand up to the original's adventure.
9. The mistake of The Mummy Returns is to abandon the characters, and to use the plot only as a clothesline for special effects and action sequences.
10. It's hard to dislike a film that so stubbornly refuses to take any aspect of itself seriously.
Consensus: In The Mummy Returns, the special effects are impressive, but the characters seem secondary to the computer generated imagery.
Q: 1. The film has some outrageously enjoyable set-pieces, but overall, the convoluted plot and Rodriguez' agenda spoil the fun.
2. Un entretenimiento crudo, básico, con personajes de una sola pieza, algunos diálogos increíbles y generosas dosis de sangre y desmembramientos. Un homenaje de Robert Rodríguez al cine clase B que tanto le gusta.
3. Supremely self-aware and steeped in the aesthetics of vintage exploitation movies,Machete is a loving, blood-spattered homage to the gritty grindhouse action pictures of yesteryear.
4. Robert Rodriguez... brings his A game to the Z-grade, revelling in the cheesiness and over-the-top violence.
5. Yes it's a lot of fun and great to see such an illustrious cast get in on the act of making lowbrow cinema with a smile on their face, shame the cult element remains and only fans of the grindhouse genre will be fully engaged from start to finish.
6. Social commentary, you ask? Quite how can a film centrally preoccupied with Danny Trejo stabbing and shooting people and having sex with lots of women have any sort of pretension to political currency?
7. The lack of subtlety and discipline is what can make Machete a disreputable pleasure and less than a full success.
8. [Robert] Rodriguez's politics are right on the surface and about as complex as the film's revenge plot, a kind-of populist response to the anti-immigration rhetoric...
9. Starts out strong but things get a little wonky toward the finale. Sadly, the film is far too married to the faux trailer footage.
10. While it's riotously entertaining, there's nothing much to it.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Machete is messy, violent, shallow, and tasteless -- and that's precisely the point of one of the summer's most cartoonishly enjoyable films.
