Q: 1. With the exception of Zellweger, it's a film that has assembled its cast only for continuity of facial recognition and nothing so important as story, characters or emotion.
2. Dear Renée: We like your work. But if you put on forty pounds to recreate the moronic character of Bridget Jones one more time, we're going to take it personally.
3. Director Beeban Kidron and her cadre of writers have almost completely betrayed the character and everything that made her real and resonant.
4. The best thing about Bridget Jones's Diary was the chemistry between the movie's three stars... The same can be said for the sequel.
5. ...le fric aussi a ses raisons que l'Âge de raison n'ignore pas.
6. The humiliation of Bridget Jones is done so many times that it's not funny and it's not clever and it's not interesting.
7. Use the money to go upgrade your original Bridget Jones DVD to the new swanky collector's edition (pick me up one, will you?) and save your money on this movie.
8. This isn't a very good script. But Renee Zellweger is so charming, and so FUNNY, she makes the movie a joy.
9. Audiences will fall in love with Bridget Jones and Zellweger all over again.
10. It may be worth a matinee for a gaggle of girlfriends, but guys should stay away and Helen Fielding, who created the character, should be ashaimed of herself.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Edge of Reason is a predictable continuation to the Bridget Jones story, with too much slapstick and silliness.
1. From the opening moments it is clear that we have the nearest modern equivalent to a Western: men of quiet virtue going skyward, leaving the tawdry world of log-rolling politicians behind.
2. Consistently compelling, capturing all the ambiguity and tension of the book.
3. The Right Stuff is a humdinger. Full of beauty, intelligence and excitement, this big-scale look at the development of the US space program and its pioneering aviators provides a fresh, entertaining look back at the recent past.
4. Educational, exciting action, great acting.
5. Historical drama as well as vastly entertaining adventure.
6. Though critically acclaimed, Philip Kaufman's superbly realized adventure about the early Space Age was a commercial flop, due to its satirical tone and unfortunately close association with the presidential candidacy of John Glenn.
7. History, melodrama, comedy and satire are skilfully combined in this consistently exciting adventure. Visually and dramatically it rarely sags, there's a vivid array of characters and though it's a film with issues, these never eclipse the human drama.
8. A great movie that unfortunately failed to attract audiences back in '83, this adaptation of Tom Wolfe's book about astronauts pays tribute to what we would like to believe represents the American spirit: hard work, perseverance, camaraderie and vision.
9. One of the scattered handful of truly great American movies in the first half of the 1980s.
10. Moviegoers seeking a grand yet edifying entertainment, right-stuffed with what Kaufman calls "seriousness of subject matter and a wild humor that comes out of left field," now know where to look...
Consensus: The Right Stuff packs a lot of movie into its hefty running time, spinning a colorful, fact-based story out of consistently engaging characters in the midst of epochal events.
Q: 1. If you want to go into another world in which imagination leads you into recesses and crevices you haven't visited, The Man Who Fell To Earth is a fantastic guide.
2. Among the most bizarre films in Nicolas Roeg's oeuvre.
3. It has lost none of its ability to startle all these years later, and for that alone it deserves respect.
4. The casting of the androgynous-bent rock-star David Bowie as an alien was inspired.
5. A little dated bit Nic Roeg is always good value and David Bowie is perfetly cast.
6. Establishes [its] British director as one of the most talented and imaginative new filmmakers in this part of the world. It's a demanding effort which will provide a challenge.
7. [Roeg] has come up with some memorable imagery, as well as coaxing a suitably enigmatic performance out of Bowie.
8. Nicolas Roeg's obfuscating style tricks it up, though the film is ultimately an empty thing.
9. Roeg, often using a dazzling technical skill, jettisons narrative in favour of thematic juxtapositions, working best when exploring the clichés of social and cultural ritual.
10. ...a cogent meditation on the corrosive power of capitalistic endeavor and hallucinatory dreams.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Filled with stunning imagery, The Man Who Fell to Earth is a calm, meditative film that profoundly explores our culture's values and desires.
1. This drama about a massacre in Yemen takes on unexpected interest because the main character, a fiery-eyed Marine combat hero played by Samuel L. Jackson, is presented as a believably flawed man.
2. The two actors are soldiers of hard-headed substance at attention in a field of milder actors at ease.
3. This two-hour drama -- like A Few Good Men and Courage Under Fire -- is worthy of your attention.
4. Rules of Engagement may be a feel good movie that lacks the imaginative thrusts of David O. Russell's The Three Kings, but for what it is this is one of the better examples.
5. Rules of Engagement isn't a bad film, but it's one that is often too dramatically and intellectually inert to warrant a full recommendation.
6. Cruelly drab.
7. Tommy Lee Jones can be a sleepwalker when he's not emotionally invested in a project; here he's in high gear.
8. A broad and obvious approach to ambiguous material that's virtually all plot mechanics with little nuance or characterization.
9. What distinguishes Rules is its use of xenophobia to bolster its legal arguments, and presumably tap audience's deep-seated prejudices.
10. A dud that tries to hide a simplistic plot and muddled message with frenzied flag-waving and overheated performances.
Consensus: The script is unconvincing and the courtroom action is unegaging.
Q: 1. Inventive, original and very, very funny.
2. Paul Giamatti seems to crawl into Harvey Pekar's skin. While not resembling Pekar physically, he's got that curmudgeonly attitude down pat.
3. Makes a good case for the constructiveness of working out the questions, issues, and problems one faces in life through the output of art.
4. Sweet, funny and off-kilter, American Splendor blurs the boundaries between documentary and drama, creating something striking and original.
5. Paul Giamatti, with a stunning leading-man confidence and sincerity... turns a sad-sack depressive into the unlikeliest champion of the mundane.
6. American Splendor is one of the best cinematic depictions of an artist and his work that I ever recall seeing.
7. Um filme auto-referencial e com vбrias camadas de realidade e ficзгo que se entrecruzam de maneira inteligente e dinвmica.
8. Now, that's art.
9. American Splendor, if not entirely new in every single respect, at the very least feels remarkably fresh and exciting for a story that's essentially about a fortysomething curmudgeon.
10. For all of Harvey's talk about authenticity, this film is as fake as they come.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Exhilarating both stylistically and for its entertaining, moving portrayal of an everyman, American Splendor is a portrait of a true underground original.
