Q: 1. Morbidly intriguing!
2. Apt Pupil is a welcome attempt to reclaim the horror film genre from teen-driven slasher flick formulas!
3. Intelligently crafted!
4. Murky storytelling!
5. When bodies are buried in cellars and cats are thrown into lighted ovens, the film reveals itself as unworthy of its subject matter.
6. Nothing about the movie even makes sense!
7. No hace mas que dejarnos la sensación de que o bien el director fue una llamarada de petate o el escritor vio pasar sus mejores momentos hace ya varios ańos
8. The most disappointing thing about Apt Pupil is the lack of sustained tension generated by director Bryan Singer.
9. Renfro and McKellen are nothing short of spectacular, but with all things considered, Apt Pupil just isn't a very well thought-out picture.
10. Stephen King's 1982 Different Seasons collection has been a gold mine for moviemakers:
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A somewhat disturbing movie that works as a suspenseful thriller, yet isn't completely satisfying.
1. It doesn't seem as fresh as Office Space or likely to achieve the same sort of iconic status, but there are enough laughs here to justify the time.
2. The basic material is here for a good film, but it doesn't quite achieve that threshold. Fortunately, the film has some interesting characters.
3. It seems that Judge is a little embarrassed by his script, which he shouldn't be. His direction of the movie, however, doesn't match the absurdity of the situations Joel finds himself in.
4. mocks idiots, hypocrites, and all the other clueless denizens of life who make it difficult for everyone else, but the bile is balanced with affection for the ordinary people who make the world turn
5. As with virtually all of Judge's work, Extract is based on the idea that most people are total, blithering idiots. It's all very off-beat, but a top-flight comedic cast makes it work
6. Tastes good until it eventually loses its flavoring.
7. Despite the huge farcical situations and comedy genius cast, Extract is not so much riproarious as thoughtful and true %u2013 not unlike Judge's animated series King of the Hill
8. Smart and affable, but not laugh-out-loud funny. A comedy shouldn't be as grounded as this. Since it's coming from Mike Judge, you expect it to fly.
9. It's a raunchy social commentary that will undoubtedly do even better when it's released on video, thereby repeating the pattern of 'Office Space.'
10. Could not survive the bland dialogue and what a misuse of Kristen Wiig.
Consensus: Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances, but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge's previous work.
Q: 1. Every time someone opens his or her mouth, out comes something asinine.
2. It's a bit of an oddball story, but surely there was a less plodding way to elaborate on it.
3. Delivers great-looking people and animals and action to stir your most youthful blood.
4. It's not as if we haven't seen movies like Hidalgo before -- the cowboy, the horse, the hat -- and yet there's something fresh about it all the same.
5. Although Hidalgo is frequently exciting and has been handsomely produced on a grand scale, you can't help but wonder what either Spielberg or Cameron could have done with this material.
6. A rousing popcorn adventure, old-fashioned and rather innocent.
7. It's an extremely handsome movie, and it has an abiding love of horses.
8. "Hidalgo" is a barely entertaining movie; what it does best is prove that Viggo Mortensen has legs
9. Suffers from weird shifts in tone, offensively outdated stereotypes, a cumbersome subplot -- and a supposedly fact-based story that bears only a nodding acquaintance with reality.
10. it's a flaccid affair, a movie that could stand to lose about 30 minutes right off the top.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: The scenery looks great, but this overstuffed horse story contains too much cheese.
1. With one film, J.J. Abrams has made Star Trek younger, flashier, sexier, funnier, and less intelligent, but more exhilarating than it has been in decades.
2. Even by the standards of its own predecessors, this Trek feels like it was made by a committee of logic-minded Vulcans (or franchise-protective studio executives) rather than a filmmaker with the singular personality of Nicholas Meyer.
3. A bright, shiny blast from a newly imagined past.
4. JJ Abrams is a miracle worker. He has taken a script that is so bad and so dumb as to be almost a disaster and made a movie that's a lot of fun and actually quite good from it.
5. And just think, they haven't gotten to the Klingons yet...
6. It boldly goes somewhere different and makes it hard to leave the film not hoping for a return voyage soon.
7. Is this where the future of Trek lies, in exciting action scenes and fun comic relief supporting underwhelming stories and stale ideas?
8. The effects, direction and film score were so beautiful and mind blowing that it made a grown man cry. That grown man would be me.
9. Take note, George Lucas: This is how it's done.
10. The aim here is to court a new generation of fans without alienating the true believers speaking Klingon in the box-office lines.
Consensus: Star Trek reignites a classic franchise with action, humor, a strong story, and brilliant visuals, and will please traditional Trekkies and new fans alike.
Q: 1. The Love Guru pegs the silly meter in the opening scene when Myers, as Guru Pitka, breaks out in a Bollywood-style 9 to 5 hoedown while picking at a sitar.
2. The Love Guru is insulting to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and the simple desire to laugh.
3. It's not very good but it won't want to make you tear your eyes out either.
4. With this sort of junk, Myers obviously is all out of love, and one day he'll be so lost without us.
5. The endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless.
6. Nobody, apparently, told Myers he was doing a one-note character with a funny voice that wouldn't make a good 'Saturday Night Live' sketch, let alone an 88-minute movie.
7. While for some The Love Guru may feel as though its gags were forced and unworthy as a script of pure hilarity, those same opponents will find themselves either secretly snickering or outright chortling in a seat-bouncing fashion.
8. If you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-mano duels with mops drenched in urine, then this is for you.
9. Mike Myers is anti-comedy . . . that is, if one presumes comedy ought to be smart, new, surprising or, yes, funny.
10. Is this a trial balloon for a new comedy franchise or for Myers' post-movie stardom career as the next Dr. Phil?
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: The Love Guru features far too many gross-out gags, and too few earned laughs, ranking as one of Mike Myers' poorest outings.
