1. This is first-rate filmmaking, horrific and tender, raw and lyrical.
2. It has an underlying warmth that elevates it to greatness.
3. There aren't many films coming out of Hollywood that work on this many levels.
4. The structure lacks purpose, the film struggles to justify its two-and-a-half-hour running time and the faint-hearted might find it a little gory.
5. The production is first rate on all levels.
6. The filmmakers offer little hope for these characters.
7. "Amores Perros" is simply a great film.
8. Nominated for an Oscar as best foreign-language film, it's a movie that's all over the lot (and interestingly so).
9. In a single film, director Alejandro Gonzрlez Iырrritu balances stories and moods as diverse as canine breeds.
10. The occasional juxtaposition of human copulation and dog-on-dog violence makes for a pretty sophomoric metaphor. Otherwise, the movie's perception is on target.
Consensus: The brutality of Amores Perros may be difficult to watch at times, but this intense, gritty film packs a hard wallop.
Q: 1. A moving, engaging and revelatory IMAX attraction with two heroines and a crowd of charming beasts.
2. Although it runs just a fleet 40 minutes, the film proves a rich and memorable journey.
3. Trades on an indisputable fact: Ecologically friendly movies about cute animals are just about impossible to resist.
4. 'Born to Be Wild' is one of the finest films of the year. Anyone who ever has loved an animal in a wild environment (or, for that matter, shared a home with one) must see this extraordinary movie about animal rescue.
5. In Born to be Wild, the milk of human kindness nourishes the animals. And the audience.
6. Invites you on a thrilling IMAX 3D cinematic safari to wildlife 'orphanages' in Kenya and Borneo, where baby elephants and orangutans are nurtured and trained to return to the wild.
7. I'm a fan of the diorama approach [to 3D], but Born to Be Wild makes the case that a nature documentary in IMAX 3D can and perhaps should bring us as close to the action as possible.
8. David Lickely's work as a director is impressive and intimate, and the use of the 3D helps make it feel like you're there in the environments with these animals.
9. ... unusually deft for a 40-minute documentary ...
10. There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Morgan Freeman's voice.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: The human story of Born To Be Wild is captivating and the accompanying nature footage is utterly cute and charming.
1. Everything else we're meant to care about is an afterthought compared to the sketch of a relationship at the fringe of the film which somehow benefits from not being at the center.
2. A very impressive bit of storytelling and style that only steps wrongly in its final third.
3. For Fincher purists, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is lumpier in plot fluidity than his other, sleeker work, but his call sign is still very much present ...
4. Mara's performance stands on its own and likely gives birth to a new star.
5. Fincher's chilly, precision filmmaking knows how to tease, while still looking head-on into the abyss.
6. There's nothing wrong with David Fincher's remake. Was it strictly necessary? That's debatable.
7. Shockingly sexual, brilliantly acted, and overall strangely appealing
8. A tense, unsettling plunge into a dark, toxic world where the bleak Scandinavian setting isn't the only thing cold, cruel and unforgiving.
9. Vengeance is the ace card in this rough game of acquiring justice in a cloaked system with degenerates at every turn. And, it's a heavyweight component of the Trilogy's impact no matter the medium used for its telling.
10. The logic of a Hollywood adaptation, for the benefit of a largely untapped domestic market, is clear, not least for the film's corporate sponsors: step forward McDonalds and Apple; two brave companies who've tethered their brands to incest and murder.
Consensus: Brutal yet captivating, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the result of David Fincher working at his lurid best with total role commitment from star Rooney Mara.
Q: 1. A muscularly entertaining adventure inspired by Rosemary Sutcliff's historical fiction The Eagle of the Ninth, hugely popular in middle schools in the mid-20th century.
2. Exciting and even moving, this robust epic is filled with action, male bonding, and a terrifying sense of wilderness.
3. Despite some breathtaking scenery and documentary-like realism, The Eagle ultimately falls to some surprising contrivances that seem written by focus groups.
4. This movie has problems unrelated to the acting -- its pacing and storytelling simply don't work onscreen.
5. Movies like this one are a dime a dozen unless the makers bring something a little extra or unusual to the table. When they don't, they end up as ho-hum as The Eagle.
6. Romans speaking American-style gives it a sloppy, Cliff's notes flavor underscored by Tatum's very contemporary look and the attire of the Britons, animal skin jegging.
7. Less epic than Gladiator, less ridiculous than last year's Centurion, less homoerotic than Top Gun (but just barely), this is perfectly acceptable matinee fodder.
8. [I]f it looks like a loving ode to fascism and sounds like a loving ode to fascism then, well, there's really only one conclusion to draw.
9. The Town showed that you could take a well-worn premise and still make something fresh and interesting with it. Most of the time people try to do that, they end up with a movie like The Eagle.
10. The Eagle isn't smart enough to be engrossing or campy enough to be a guilty pleasure.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: The Eagle has a pleasantly traditional action-adventure appeal, but it's drowned out by Kevin Macdonald's stolid direction and Channing Tatum's uninspired work in the central role.
1. A mawkish, overly-poignant and clichéd movie that mindlessly bounces along without ever making a clear statement.
2. Defeated by a labored, screenplay in this overlong, clunky love story about a boy and a girl brought together, then driven apart, by their basketball ambitions.
3. Uneven, a bit stilted, but with a solid cast.
4. Of all of the projects for Spike Lee to attach his name onto, Love and Basketball may go down as one of the most idiotic.
5. The story, about neighbors from an affluent black L.A. suburb who fall in love while pursuing individual hoop dreams, is about as realistic as the Clippers winning the NBA championship.
6. Love and Basketball never really reconciles the two elements of its title and ultimately basketball is forced to take a backseat to love.
7. Love and Basketball is divided into four quarters; thank God there's no overtime.
8. A mawkish, overly-poignant and clichéd movie that mindlessly bounces along without ever making a clear statement.
9. The movie is not as taut as it could have been, but I prefer its emotional perception to the pumped-up sports cliches I was sort of expecting.
10. Charming.

Consensus: Confident directing and acting deliver an insightful look at young athletes.
