1. What makes this wildly imaginative setup so much fun is the contrast between the deadpan gruffness of Jones and Torn, and the spectacularly strange environment in which they work.
2. Men In Black deserves credit for supplementing its special effects with a breezy script and genuinely charismatic performances by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
3. Men in Black is the wryest, sharpest, most entertaining special effects film in recent memory, a simultaneous participant and mocking parody of the more-bang-for-your-buck behemoth genre.
4. [Director Barry Sonnenfeld] establishes the premise in the wildly entertaining first 45 minutes and then glides along for the rest of the film on the strength of a poker-faced comic sensibility.
5. Its attitude is poised somewhere between the deadpan ghoulishness of the Coen brothers and a Letterman-like sense of the absurdity of life in New York's rich ethnic stew.
6. Men in Black is moderately amusing, well-constructed and mercifully short, but it fails to deliver on the zaniness of its first half.
7. Men in Black, running a breezy 98 minutes, is a showpiece of laconic economy. It's quick, eccentric and deadly funny and for many young movie-goers it's likely to be a close encounter they'll want to see a second and third time.
8. A lean, punchy, fast paced, and extremely endearing sci-fi action comedy.
9. Great special effects, inventive alien designs and Smith and Jones's hip, hilarious double act make director Barry Sonnenfeld's Lethal Weapon-style buddy picture a fast-paced pleasure.
10. The plot, trifling as it is, doesn't much matter. What makes the movie such a hoot are the clever gags, imaginative special effects, and the snappy byplay between the well-matched Jones and Smith.
Consensus: Thanks to a smart script, spectacular set pieces, and charismatic performances from its leads, Men in Black is an entirely satisfying summer blockbuster hit.
Q: 1. Definitely a labor of love for all involved.
2. The story is good, the comedy is goofy but still solid.
3. Absurd and convincing at the same time.
4. Wag the Dog could have been a one-joke scenario, but it's consistently rescued from monotony by a smart script.
5. Wicked, poisonous fun.
6. One belly laugh after another.
7. Wag the Dog nonetheless makes a perfect bookend piece for Network.
8. As a cautionary tale, Wag the Dog may find itself somewhat in the position of preaching to the converted, but the pews will radiate with the sounds of laughter.
9. Hoffman, De Niro and Heche all seem to have fun with David Mamet's screenplay, as do supporting players Denis Leary, William H. Macy and Willie Nelson.
10. A bright idea well realized by director Barry Levinson.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Smart, well-acted, and uncomfortably prescient political satire from director Barry Levinson and and all-star cast.
1. A brash, smart, wildly entertaining movie that will be oft imitated but never duplicated.
2. A devilishly lurid blast of great entertainment. Ultra-violent and wickedly funny.
3. It can be a difficult, rattling experience, but this reviewer has found its rewards to vastly outweigh its weaknesses.
4. Ce film représente le summum de la carričre de Tarantino
5. Tarantino shows penchant for the rhythm of words--the banter has the drollery of gangland Samuel Beckett--and he's also good at taking seemingly routine situations and giving them a sudden vertiginous twist, such as the farcical drug overdoze scene.
6. The overall project is evident: to evict real life and real people from the art film and replace them with generic teases and assorted hommages. Don't expect any of the life experiences of the old movie sources to leak through.
7. A balls-out postmodern comedy par excellence. It's a Royale with Cheese. [Blu-ray]
8. When the dust settles, just as the Coens will ultimately be seen as the canniest literary critics of their generation, Tarantino will be seen as the most perceptive, most instinctive film critic of his.
9. Some of its strengths still impress. There's the trivial-turned-menacing, the gangster-gone-poppy, and the various sadnesses, poignancies, and tragic pointlessnesses that seep out of the best noirs.
10. Its dedicated fan-base and the pop-culture reverberations that have flowed steadily from it, almost 20 years on, echo Tarantino's achievements with Pulp Fiction. Unassailable filmmaking.
Consensus: One of the most influential films of the 1990s, Pulp Fiction is a delirious post-modern mix of neo-noir thrills, pitch-black humor, and pop-culture touchstones.
1. "Posljednji dani" bi vrlo lako mogli dovr%u0161iti ono %u0161to je prije vi%u0161e od jednog desetlje%u0107a zapo%u010Deo hitac iz sa%u010Dmarice.
2. Van Sant's design poignantly messes with the viewer's mind
3. Accurate, harrowing, and creepy.
4. Van Sant uses Cobain's image for a portrait of physical and moral disintegration, but he also exhilarates us with his mastery of image and sound.
5. Sometimes we see Blake through the window, but, as he moves around the room, often we see nothing but the far wall. Depending on your perspective, this is either incredibly gutsy or incredibly boring.
6. Last Days has the blank, discombobulated feeling you get when you wake up in a hotel room and your brain hasn't kicked in and you're not sure where you are.
7. Last Days is a definitive record of death by gradual drug exhaustion. After the chills and thrills of Sid & Nancy and The Doors, here is a movie that sees how addicts usually die, not with a bang but a whimper.
8. The movie creeps along at a snail's pace, with dialog you can barely make out and even less often understand.
9. Shot in long, single takes, the movie willfully tests your patience. You wish it would hurry up. Yet when it ends, it haunts you for a few days. (Well, me anyway.)
10. This movie, depending on what you do with it, can be boring, brilliant or both.

Consensus: While the minimalist style is not for all viewers, those who prefer experimentalism will find Last Days hypnotic.
