Q: 1. A brash, smart, wildly entertaining movie that will be oft imitated but never duplicated.
2. A devilishly lurid blast of great entertainment. Ultra-violent and wickedly funny.
3. It can be a difficult, rattling experience, but this reviewer has found its rewards to vastly outweigh its weaknesses.
4. Ce film représente le summum de la carričre de Tarantino
5. Tarantino shows penchant for the rhythm of words--the banter has the drollery of gangland Samuel Beckett--and he's also good at taking seemingly routine situations and giving them a sudden vertiginous twist, such as the farcical drug overdoze scene.
6. The overall project is evident: to evict real life and real people from the art film and replace them with generic teases and assorted hommages. Don't expect any of the life experiences of the old movie sources to leak through.
7. A balls-out postmodern comedy par excellence. It's a Royale with Cheese. [Blu-ray]
8. When the dust settles, just as the Coens will ultimately be seen as the canniest literary critics of their generation, Tarantino will be seen as the most perceptive, most instinctive film critic of his.
9. Some of its strengths still impress. There's the trivial-turned-menacing, the gangster-gone-poppy, and the various sadnesses, poignancies, and tragic pointlessnesses that seep out of the best noirs.
10. Its dedicated fan-base and the pop-culture reverberations that have flowed steadily from it, almost 20 years on, echo Tarantino's achievements with Pulp Fiction. Unassailable filmmaking.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: One of the most influential films of the 1990s, Pulp Fiction is a delirious post-modern mix of neo-noir thrills, pitch-black humor, and pop-culture touchstones.
1. Lopez has the simultaneous gift and curse of being exactly as good as her material; she fully inhabits the solemnity of Paulina without overshadowing the central conflict.
2. Miscast, misguided and woefully misbegotten, this clumsy American remake of the deftly delicate 1996 sleeper hit from Japan is too blah to bludgeon.
3. The original remains the standard, and it's a far deeper work, but this paint-by-numbers project manages to get by on its good humour and undeniably entertaining ensemble cast.
4. It's a surprisingly acceptable variation on a theme.
5. Turns a sweet, lilting story into a clunky, clichéd and tedious movie sitcom.
6. Takes a small, exquisite Japanese movie and turns it into a big, stupid American movie. Still, it must be said that as glossy and overproduced as the thing is, it's a good Big Stupid American movie.
7. A cozy star vehicle for Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere.
8. Where the original soared, the new version hugs the ground. It's like the difference between Fred Astaire's dancing and Richard Gere's.
9. While its situations are never hugely believable, this long-delayed remake is otherwise a consistently delightful comedy of character and a surprisingly strong showcase for its stars.
10. This mildly entertaining bauble will disappear from your memory even before you've dislodged the last popcorn husks from your back teeth.
Consensus: The cast is warmly appealing, but with the loss of cultural context and addition of big-name celebrities, this American version loses the nuances of the original.
Q: 1. Of the big studio films released this summer, it's hands-down the best!
2. The story manages to keep one's interest engaged all the way through to the exhilaratingly unexpected ending, which effectively breathes new life into all the previous proceedings.
3. This ghost stuff works on a deeper level than the gross-out, and it's nice that Hollywood has rediscovered the art of the soul-freezing scare.
4. An unusually intelligent thriller!
5. The story doesn't cheat by resorting to action or scare clichжs. It sticks right to the main conflict and it keeps it in human terms.
6. The Sixth Sense has a kind of calm, sneaky self-confidence that allows it to take us down a strange path.
7. A unique, frightening movie that is never gratuitous or obvious.
8. One of the most original paranormal films I've ever seen.
9. A thought -- provoking suspenseful movie!
10. A psychological thriller that actually thrills!
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: M Night Shayamalan's The Sixth Sense is a twisty ghost story with all the style of a classical Hollywood picture, but all the chills of a modern horror flick.
1. Doomsday plays more like a series of mini-remakes than a single, cohesive film.
2. Writer/Director Neil Marshall's entertaining, sorta-cheesy, if at times derivative homage to post-apocalyptic cinema delivers exactly what action fans of the genre crave.
3. Dreadful stuff, aggressively silly and repulsively nasty.
4. The survivors have made it a priority -- as they have in so many post-apocalyptic action flicks -- to store up provisions of mascara and hair dye.
5. It feels at times that the only thing that hasn't been appropriated is the Filthiest Toilet in Scotland from "Trainspotting," though it is filled with the decidedly unpleasant substance found on, near and in said receptacle
6. I still believe with all my heart that no movie with real car stunts, a tough-chick hero, and a severed head that thunks directly into the camera can be all bad. But this is pushing it.
7. Delivers the exploitation goods and then some, but it's so utterly derivative it represents a depressing step backward for Marshall...
8. A series of loosely linked action scenes, Doomsday plays out more like a video game than a movie.
9. About twenty minutes into it I decided to pretend it was a long-lost mid-'80s film Marshall had dusted off and put his name on.
10. Will go perfectly with "Mad Max" and "Escape from New York" as a trio of apocalyptic balls to the wall action fests...
Consensus: Doomsday is a pale imitation of previous futuristic thrillers, minus the cohesive narrative and charismatic leads.
Q: 1. So much feeling, so much skill, so much seriousness, such an urgent moral agenda -- all of this must surely answer our collective hunger for a good movie, or even a great one, about race and class in a modern American city. Not even close.
2. Everything feels pat, and the result leaves you feeling a bit cheated.
3. ...a truly grown-up film with some of the best work you're likely to see on screen this year.
4. Haggis gets several 'best performances of their careers' from his actors including Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Jennifer Esposito, and Terrence Dashon Howard.
5. "Crash" is the first great film of 2005. No other film released this year has the power to grab, challenge, rattle, unsettle, entertain and touch its audience like this.
6. This is one beguiling ride though what drives us emotionally and what dark, sorrowful detours we sometime swerve into.
7. It has a sense of urgency about what it's trying to convey that makes it feel more important and there's not a missed moment to make an impact.
8. Crash provides no genuine revelation or insight. It's just the film equivalent of a furrowed brow.
9. Crash wants to be taken seriously as a meditation on our anxiety-plagued times, but the coincidences are too pat, the tugs on the heartstrings too insistent.
10. The film isn't, by any means, unpleasant to watch, though it is a shamelessly derivative button-pusher.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: A raw and unsettling morality piece on modern angst and urban disconnect, Crash examines the dangers of bigotry and xenophobia in the lives of interconnected Angelenos.
