1. The range of Gibney's subjects, the rigour of his research and the complexity of his questions make We Steal Secrets breathlessly compelling, but it's the moments of psychological probing that haunt the most.
2. This thorough, engrossing film shows how idealistic Aussie hacker Julian Assange took on the might of the US, exposing their military and diplomatic misconduct, then allowed his own murky personal life to tarnish his credibility.
3. In truth, there's little in Alex Gibney's film that won't be familiar to attentive news watchers, but this skilled documentarian has mastered the art of condensing a vast and complex amount of information into a gripping and entertaining package.
4. This is an expertly organised documentary; Gibney's always are.
5. This is saying something important. Check your Facebook settings.
6. With a subject matter that oddly feels both timely and out-of-date, this documentary is packed with telling details about WikiLeaks, Although it gets muddy as it delves into the lives of founder Julian Assange and whistleblower Bradley Manning.
7. A thorough and decently intentioned work, though it accepts a little too glibly the more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger line against Assange: that he is a fascinating radical who simply became a paranoid authoritarian.
8. We Steal Secrets is much concerned with conspiracy theories and may well wind up fuelling new ones.
9. Alex Gibney adds to his forensic examinations of Enron and Abu Ghraib with another fine documentary.
10. Noxious government activities may warrant exposure, but Gibney points out that the whistleblowers can be pretty flawed too.
Consensus: As fascinating as it is provocative, We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks presents another documentary triumph for director Alex Gibney, as well as a troubling look at one of the more meaningful issues of our time.
Q: 1. At least in the first film, Angelina Jolie had conviction in her ability to break someone's face and look good doing it. Here, it looks like she can't wait to get to the next Billy Bob tattoo removal appointment.
2. Saying that The Cradle of Life is better than the original is on par with saying that sudden painless death is preferable to expiring by a long and painful disease.
3. The direction is so workmanlike, so dispassionately competent, that it seems De Bont may be as resigned to his career's downward plummet as those of us who admired his debut film, the thrilling Speed, are puzzled by it.
4. Angelina Jolie returns as a globetrotting archaeologist ... in a sequel that redefines boredom.
5. Joyless princess.
6. Only reinforces what [Lara Croft's] first movie showed us -- that she's not readily approachable to other characters nor to the audience.
7. There's enough action here to keep the viewer awake. But just barely.
8. Jolie remains more magazine cover than actress (or movie star), and the franchise she supports is more Nintendo after-school time killer than rousing adventure cycle.
9. Is "Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" worth it? No. If you've sent the first, you've seen the second.
10. Sure it's hardcore dumb but its so amusing plundering this tomb that you won't notice (or care) how well the makers raided your wallet.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Though the sequel is an improvement over the first movie, it's still lacking in thrills.
1. If even Il Divo's wife claims not to know him, how can we?
2. A smash in its native country, this highly engrossing and stylized look at one of Italy's most notorious politicians is a triumph for filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino.
3. Sorrentino's version of Andreotti's story is thus only really fascinating as a bloated vanity project, one that is unlikely to win him many new American defenders.
4. Il Divo taps into something that's indeed borderless: Americans recognize political corruption and backroom conspiracies even if we don't intimately know the players.
5. A baroque high comedy of endemic corruption, Il Divo doesn't treat the early-'90s scandal that brought down Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti as a tragedy, thriller, or tale of long-delayed comeuppance, but with resigned wit and florid carica
6. Hard on the heels of the acclaimed Gomorrah, Italian corruption gets a much quieter but equally vigorous workout in Paolo Sorrentino's highly stylized portrait of the country's most enduring political leader.
7. Il Divo is as showy as Gomorrah was spare, sometimes taking your breath away with its gutsy leaps of brilliance and sometimes acting like a bratty child desperate for attention.
8. Sorrentino brings a turbulent period in Italian politics to vivid life. Unfortunately, there's far too much on screen for it to make sense to anyone but a history student
9. An operatic drama about a power-hungry Italian politician and his nefarious cronies.
10. Should you go into this movie with no knowledge of this slice of history, you'll not only learn something, but you'll be so entertained you may find yourself laughing out loud (when you're not shaking your head).
Consensus: While the web of corruption in this Italian political thriller can be hard for a non-native to follow, the visuals and the intrigue are compelling and thrilling in equal measure.
1. While familiarity doesn't exactly breed contempt... there's not much here we haven't encountered before. And didn't it feel a whole lot fresher the first time around?
2. Men in Black II is an efficient entertainment, but it's far from inspired.
3. MIB II hits its marks reliably enough.
4. Men in Black II is just the sort of film that mainstream audiences expect to escape to during the sweltering summer months: It's just funny enough, just clever enough, and it looks just slick enough to pass inspection.
5. A lot of setup for too little payoff.
6. Whether verbal or visual, most of the few decent gags the sequel contains were already told twice in the original.
7. A good-faith attempt has been made to duplicate the original elements, but the mix is wrong, bearings have been lost, the balance is off.
8. It's not nearly as fresh or enjoyable as its predecessor, but there are enough high points to keep this from being a complete waste of time.
9. MIB II is faithful to its source film, which in turn sprang from a comic book. But this feels more like submission to formula than devotion to inspiration.
10. Harmless, forgettable, and simply uninteresting in comparison to recent action flicks like Spider-Man and Minority Report

Consensus: Lacking the freshness of the first movie, MIB 2 recycles elements from its predecessor with mixed results.
