1. Delivers the visuals that the audience came for.
2. Iron Man 2 is fun, unchallenging and inoffensive entertainment.
3. Iron Man 2 provides more entertainment, guilt-free, than anything you're likely to see this summer.
4. Has it finally happened? Hard as it is to type, Robert Downey Jr. may have reached obnoxiousness.
5. Twice the snark, half the fun. The original's wit and energy shrivel into countless subplots and so little excitement that the sequel barely qualifies as an action movie.
6. A series of carefully-planned, effects-heavy sequences strung together with slapdash storytelling, underdeveloped character ideas and the occasional funny line of dialogue.
7. Big, empty and dying: is it Tony Stark or the Iron Man franchise itself? Director Jon Favreau has taken great pains to insure Justin Theroux's script doesn't get bogged down by silly matters like mortality.
8. If you listen and read closely, the positive reviews will be cloaking their praise of Iron Man 2 in rationalizations, rather than letting it flow unfettered.
9. The big problem with Iron Man 2, maybe, is that it so dutifully gives the people what they want, instead of giving them what they didn't know they wanted.
10. It's the promiscuously talented Downey who adds the grace notes that make Iron Man 2 something to remember.
Consensus: It isn't quite the breath of fresh air that Iron Man was, but this sequel comes close with solid performances and an action-packed plot.
Q: 1. That neither protagonist has a distinguishable condition hardly matters because both are just actory concoctions, defined by childlike dimness and a handful of quirks.
2. Believes so fervently in humanity that it feels almost anachronistic, and it is too cute by half. But arriving at a particularly dark moment in history, it offers flickering reminders of the ties that bind us.
3. ...hits every cliche we've come to expect, including the assumption that "crazy" people are innocent, childlike and inherently funny.
4. A plucky parable about mastering one's fears, and making connections.
5. It's a hard film to resist.
6. Elling builds gradually until you feel fully embraced by this gentle comedy.
7. It's thoroughly entertaining and nonpatronizing, and occasionally even insightful.
8. A film of charm, freshness and bracingly generous humanity.
9. Rather than real figures, Elling and Kjell Bjarne become symbolic characters whose actions are supposed to relate something about the naďf's encounter with the world.
10. Heartwarming here relies less on forced air than on Petter Nćss' delicate, clever direction ... and a wonderful, imaginative script by Axel Hellstenius.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Quirky without being overly cutesy, Elling is a gentle, warm comedy.
1. ...a touchstone, one of those classics that infects the popular imagination to the point that it's really not necessary for most people to have actually seen it to recognize its signal moments ...
2. Fritz Lang's acute use of objects, symbols, letters, and codes to decrypt a relatively simple narrative remains as perfect an example of pure cinema in the sound era as one is likely to find.
3. This is a movie that dares to sympathize with a sick person, that risks making the monster real and us (in an era when Germany's cinema was still shellacked in canted angles and fanciful shadows).
4. Lang's film is a must-see for even a moderately ambitious film buff.
5. Few films are gripping and effective 82 years after their original release, but this one surely is.
6. The movie looms over our cinema like a hand of consequence, haunting us with its austerity and power long after others have faded from the mind.
7. You'll never look at a novelty balloon in the same way again.
8. It is a cousin to the early Hitchcock of The Lodger, and I have always found something even something faintly Ealingesque about its cynicism and satire.
9. Lang's razor-sharp dissection of crime and punishment never puts a foot wrong.
10. [VIDEO ESSAY] A precursor to the serial killer and policier genres, "M" is first and foremost a suspense thriller made all the more gripping because the identity of the killer is revealed in the first act.
Consensus: A landmark psychological thriller with arresting images, deep thoughts on modern society, and Peter Lorre in his finest performance.
Q: 1. Hanks evokes astonishingly precise memories of the time.
2. Light and peppy, this filmmaking debut by Tom Hanks is as harmless as a puppy dog waiting to be petted.
3. A romantic romp as sweet and bubbly as a Coke float.
4. Tom Hanks' writing-directing debut is a sweet valentine to rock 'n' roll.
5. It's concerned with a very general notion of the corrupting nature of stardom, and it doesn't push any of its ideas far enough to invite its audience to invest in the issues it raises.
6. That Thing You Do! is a credible first effort.
7. ...a movie that, like many a pop tune, has a cute idea but a simpleminded lyric.
8. ...is a pleasant film perfect for a brain-dead matinee.
9. Uma histзria simples, contada de maneira tambжm simples, que acaba agradando por suas boas intenушes.
10. With its exuberant tempo and danceable Beatlesque theme song, That Thing You Do will win the hearts of a broad audience.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A light, sweet, and thoroughly entertaining debut for director Tom Hanks, That Thing You Do! makes up in charm what it lacks in complexity.
1. Janssen sparkles serenely.
2. Janssen and Favreau provide enjoyably consoling company for those still dating their way through life.
3. Marred by some soppy sections, casting that undermines the story's believability and a kind of self-consciousness that makes it hard to really care about the characters.
4. Wait until it hits cable.
5. The strengths of the screenplay don't translate to the screen. Well-written one-liners lie dead, killed by the lax timing. Everyone tries so hard to be ingratiating and witty that the charm curdles into smarm.
6. An insufferably dull retracing of romantic comedy's steps, with none of the relationship insight or genuine humanness that can make the formula such a joyful one to follow.
7. Already burdened by Kate's clichéd voice-over observations, the movie eventually sinks beneath the weight of Kate and Adam's utter charmlessness, a huge liability in bickering romantic-comedy couples.
8. Love & Sex is nothing but pain and suffering.
9. By no means a great film, but a zippy little comedy with a lively pace and a nice supply of laughs -- and occasional moments of genuine feeling.
10. This one tastes like a sour apple I had on a blind date many eons ago.

Consensus: Famke Janssen's charm fails to rescue the movie from a dull screenplay.
