Q: 1. Handicapped by a slow start, misguided direction and, most damaging, an ill-conceived movement into metaphysical territory in its last 15 minutes.
2. Cuckoo is best described as arthouse-lite.
3. A well-acted, mildly arresting antiwar allegory.
4. A strange and challenging film that questions a world in which human beings can be so easily defined by the uniform they wear.
5. A winning piece of folk art from an isolated way of life, worth a look for those who want to see the world in all its quirky and earthy forms.
6. It's quite a treat.
7. Rogozhkin's unusual film has the audacity to consider those which uplift the human spirit, as well as those that erode it.
8. This is an engrossing film with an oddly satisfying ending of genuine pathos.
9. A trifling treat that neither amounts to nor aspires to anything substantial.
10. Quietly engrossing.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A sweet and amusing comedy.


Q: 1. I can't recommend the film although it does have its moments.
2. Dreadful unwatchable movie version of the campy Batman television series popular in the 1960s.
3. While the film is far from perfect, it's meant to be that way.
4. Holy Cornball Camp, Batman! This movie's a hoot!
5. Campy fun
6. ...can we at least all agree that 'Da na na na na na na na...BAT MAN!' is one of the greatest superhero themes ever?
7. It exists.
8. I'd choose Adam West's Batmobile over Michael Keaton's any day.
9. It's goofy, cornball charm sure wears a lot better than the last two "serious" Batman flicks.
10. For camp value only
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Batman: The Movie elevates camp to an art form -- and has a blast doing it, every gloriously tongue-in-cheek inch of the way.


Q: 1. As big-budget adaptations Broadway shows go, this is one of the best.
2. It may be stylised and in some ways out of date, but the charm of Oliver will delight you over and over again.
3. Eye-filling and lively, but it was better on the stage
4. A great family musical, spirited and youthful, with moments of true sadness, tragedy and joy -- full of rosy cheeked dirty-faced angelic-voiced boys with plenty of mischief inside them.
5. An exciting experience for young viewers, and is substantial enough for those who want some tension along with the fluffy songs.
6. Lionel Bart's tunes are highly hummable, and the huge production numbers feature lots of fabulous choreography.
7. There's plenty of mileage left in the famous story.
8. Reed's memorable and epic musical provides good family fun, some great musical numbers and in Fagin, the Artful Dodger, and Sykes, some of cinema's most beloved unsavoury characters.
9. The focus of the movie is so wide, and the logistics of the production so heavy, that Oliver himself, dutifully played by 9-year-old Mark Lester, gets flattened out and almost lost, as if he had been run over by a studio bulldozer.
10. Even if you're not a fan of the musicals, Oliver is so witty, so bright and so endearing that even the iciest viewer should start melting in its corona.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: It has aged somewhat awkwardly, but the performances are inspired, the songs are memorable, and the film is undeniably influential.


Q: 1. How many times can the nightmare that is Sandra Bullock keep recurring?
2. Interesting premise but by the weaker third act the audience is left wodnering if they care about any of it.
3. Devolve into a film that only feigns the pretensions of popular entertainment but instead wants to delve into all sorts of family issues.
4. The level of apparent disinterest from everyone involved is astounding.
5. A gripping psychological thriller that will have you guessing from start to finish.
6. I had a strange sense before I walked into the theatre that this wasn't going to be all that good... and that's exactly how it happened.
7. Unfortunately in the end this movie did not live up to the trailer shown.
8. It may be a mediocre thriller, but it's a nice drama about rekindling the spark in a dying marriage. If you don't buy that, consider it a 110-minute fashion show, with more clothing changes than Project Runway.
9. Just a rehashed 'Twilight Zone' plot stretched over 90 minutes while Sandra Bullock stumbles around working on her 'baffled' face.
10. The screenplay by Bill Kelly is a lot like the title character in Mr. Townsend's famous rock opera, which is to say it doesn't know what day it is.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Overdosing on flashbacks, and more portentous than profound, the overly obtuse Premonition weakly echoes such twisty classics as Memento, The Sixth Sense, and Groundhog Day.
