Q: 1. In sly, sweet and frequently funny terms, Danny Boyle pleads a compelling case for the fundamental goodness of mankind.
2. Danny Boyle's heart is in the right place and there are some fun moments, but it can't quite overcome its inherent flaws as a slightly over manipulated work
3. Sprinkled with a heady dose of magic realism, this film is lovely.
4. A significant part of the film's appeal emanates from Alex Etel's amiable personality that glows through his performance of a boy attempting to live up to his greatest potential.
5. if you're a sucker for adorable, freckle-faced kids, you may not be able to resist the infantile wiles of this movie
6. Danny Boyle's only great film featuring "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" is an urbane, thoughtful fable of Lego-bright color, vast imagination and a stout belief in meaningful displays of humanity, charity and altruism without stooping to sermons.
7. Corrupted by a hideous paternalism.
8. Touching and fearless.
9. This wonderfully original must-see film is a small miracle itself.
10. Enjoyable fluff.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A charming children fable even adults can enjoy.
1. ...a respectful, storyteller's approach to rural America. No mockery, no Hollywood-knows-better, no nonsense. That kind of thing is in shorter supply than the universe's collective desire for McConaughey to return to rom-coms.
2. Mud is a captivating drama with well-rounded characters and fantastic performances from its three leads.
3. Mud combines the poignance of a boy coming to terms with life's realities with the excitement of top-notch suspense.
4. Jeff Nichols' script for Mud is a lot like the Mississippi River that serves as a backdrop for the tale of unrequited love. There are times it is big and powerful and other times when it becomes so serene it's easy to forget the depths that hide below.
5. With Mud, Jeff Nichols demonstrates once again that he's that rare breed of filmmaker who prefers to bury himself in the dirt of rural America rather than carve his initials into the concrete of sprawling urbanity.
6. It's a lovely, coherent piece of storytelling, with a unique sense of place. Nichols has carved out a niche as a distinctive film-maker.
7. It's rare that films manage to capture the actual experience of what it is like to be a child, but 'Mud' seems to nail the ethos.
8. Nichols weaves it all together with consummate skill and a little black pepper.
9. It's a sweet tale that displays plenty of faith in humanity without ever veering into sappiness and always keeping you on the edge of your seat.
10. [Feels] like an adaptation of a classic novel that doesn't actually exist.
Consensus: Bolstered by a strong performance from Matthew McConaughey in the title role, Mud offers an engaging Southern drama that manages to stay sweet and heartwarming without being sappy.
Q: 1. A classic case of a film without a focus.
2. Comes by its sweetness honestly. And while multinationalism is no guarantee of quality, this film is a true multinational affair.
3. Though too schematic and too intent on resolving all its prickly family issues, The Syrian Bride nonetheless packs an emotional punch.
4. It seems to line up every conceivable cultural, sexual or religious fender-bender it can for maximum conflict. But at the same time, Israeli director Eran Riklis and Palestinian co-writer Suha Arraf use the device to reveal touching human complexity.
5. I like everything about The Syrian Bride except the title. And, in the grand scheme of things, that's no big deal.
6. All politics is personal, but rarely has that credo been illustrated so winningly as with Eran Riklis' delicate comedy about the maddening intersection of families, cultures and borders.
7. The movie charms while making a bold statement about the borders that governments and individuals construct to keep each other apart.
8. As enjoyable a piece of cultural satire as any that's come out of this highly troubled region.
9. The real interest in the film enters by the side door, through supporting characters.
10. It all comes together in a potent cinematic mix, one that lends a deep humanity to a part of the world in dire need of greater understanding.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A humane and empathic work, The Syrian Bride depicts the personal impact of politics upon individuals.
1. I take it as proof that Saw is half a parody of serial-killer movies... that Elwes goes stark raving bonkers off-the-deep-end awful in the film's final moments.
2. Fans of industrial music finally have a mainstream movie release that represents their zeitgeist
3. A bloody, repugnant world that will offend all but hard-core horror fans.
4. Terrifying at some moments and insinuatingly creepy at many others.
5. Dark and twisted.
6. A gratuitous, if often successfully creepy exercise in sadomasochistic filmmaking, Saw features some of the worst acting I have ever seen in a mainstream film with an experienced cast.
7. The Internet film geeks are salivating over this one. But humans who live above ground, including horror fans, will find themselves only fitfully entertained and more consistently appalled.
8. A sick, twisted, deliriously entertaining horror thriller that rivals The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for sheer, relentless intensity.
9. An ingenious machine for inducing terror, rage, and paralyzing unease.
10. So over the top that even the recruited audience of non-critics at my screening began to howl.
Consensus: Saw is more than nasty enough for genre junkies, but far too twisted, gory, and shallow for more discerning horror fans.
Q: 1. the whole shebang plays out like a twisted Murder She Wrote episode
2. The movie wants to be a combination film noir and horror comedy, but the timing is all off and the performances are flat across the board.
3. Entirely derivative and utterly wretched.
4. ...a disappointingly lifeless adaptation...
5. Fun performances from Routh and Huntington can't make up for an extremely convoluted and mostly soulless story -- even when there's a giant zombie running around.
6. Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night is a fun comedy/horror whodunnit with a supernatural twist. It delivers plenty of movie fun too, just like those campy 80's monster flicks.
7. Dylan Dog works best when it has fun with P.I. conventions; when the monsters take over, it goes downhill.
8. A pointless, very loose adaptation of the popular Italian comic that plays like a bad episode of Buffy.
9. There's one fight scene involving a rope and a pulley that briefly lifts the general torpor, but as soon as that's over, it's back to snoozeville.
10. Isn't awful, but it is awfully familiar,...coming across as something that might appear on the SciFi Network on a Saturday night.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: An uninspired, feebly-acted horror/comedy that produces little scares and laughs.
