Q: 1. It's not a great movie (though it's better than the third entry), and I doubt I'll ever feel compelled to see it again, but I enjoyed it well enough while it was on-screen.
2. What we get is an efficient but thinly plotted comic book violence packed story.
3. Did the plot points stick in my head five minutes after leaving the theater? Not so much ... but I know I was having fun while watching.
4. Lots of action and Jackman is in great shape but the movie is just more of the same
5. The latest edition of the X-Men franchise is easily the least, with a convoluted storyline, poorly defined characters and a dark one-note tone that lacks the humor and light touches of the earlier three installments.
6. 'Wolverine' isn't as powerful as you might think.
7. Could the Wolverine story be getting a little tired at this point, even though Hugh Jackman still looks good with mutton chops? Possibly ...
8. Everything that happens seems to play out as if following a checklist. It's Paint by Numbers: The Movie.
9. Wolverine's backstory was good stuff -- but after the falling out with Schreiber, the story loses its center and it gets wobbly.
10. I was definitely disappointed.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Though Hugh Jackman gives his all, he can't help X-Men Origins: Wolverine overcome a cliche-ridden script and familiar narrative.
1. The bad news (or perhaps this is the good news, if you're a 10-year-old boy) is that the big yucks (in both senses of that word) are derived from fart lighting, elaborate poo gags, and an attenuated bit about a dog who gets his bits frozen to a porch.
2. Beyond a random laugh or two, this is pretty much a waste of celluloid that all but the most rabid of Spade fans would probably be wise to avoid.
3. Woefully unfunny.
4. Life is a garden. If something stinks, bury it.
5. Director Dennie Gordon tries too hard to milk sympathy for the none-too-bright Joe, who at one point adopts what he thinks is a meteor for a friend. Of course, it turns out to be more toxic waste, like Joe Dirt.
6. The first Saturday Night Live-related comedy to produce belly laughs in a long, long time.
7. Joe Dirt knows its audience and doesn't stint on the flatulence jokes, poop jokes, leg-humping dogs and moments of homo-panic.
8. Dirt's cup runneth over with excrement, fornicating animals and that perennial favorite of Hollywood comedy, homophobic slurs.
9. You start to wonder if choking to death on popcorn wouldn't be less painful than sitting through this.
10. Teeters on the fine line between condescending and corrupt.
Consensus: If you fall within the target audience of Joe Dirt, you may find it funny. Otherwise, the jokes will seem like a tired retread.
Q: 1. Clumsy direction means most jokes fall flatter than the paper-thin plot.
2. This celebration of mid-Atlantic compromise is one for the youngest and most forgiving of teenage girls.
3. The movie falls apart when it tries to explain why Poppy's been sent to this school. And the Spartacus moment at her school "trial" for misconduct is so cringe-worthy you want to die.
4. A project broad-based enough to make tween competitor Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging feel arthouse.
5. Competent if mechanical helming debut by editor Nick Moore.
6. A slight but tart teen comedy, Child carries some surprising bite, subverting the norm with a fine British cast helping to sell the pixy stick fantasy, buttressed by Roberts's refreshing angry streak.
7. Mildly entertaining and utterly innocuous...
8. It's an unoriginal story but one with potential, and the actors who play Poppy's school chums are lively company.
9. The film has an energy and honesty about it: it's lively, funny and smart and the characters are appealing
10. What begins as tedious teen comedy/drama about a Californian brat turns out to be a surprisingly agreeable popcorn flick.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: More mild than wild. This tween comedy mess falls flat on its face due to poor characters, poor direction and poor jokes.
1. The exacting demands of filmgoing audiences have finally drawn out the heart of this book. (Disclosure: I have not read it, but now am willing to. For the antidote to this impulse, see The Omega Man.) Adding a dog probably didn't hurt either.
2. Eerie and breathtakingly evocative, the solid I Am Legend nevertheless tries to be too many things to too many people, weighed down with cheap horror-film shock effects and barely passable CGI, instead of trusting in its legitimately captivating
3. I wouldn't dream of giving away the ending, but it's not likely to satisfy either the action crowd or Matheson fans.
4. The monsters are routine CGI creations, crudely animated and unconvincing. In a film of such visual majesty and surprisingly weighty drama, they present an unfortunate and needless distraction.
5. If a horror movie is of true holy-bejesus caliber, you should be exhaling with relief at the end instead of thinking, 'Gee, that went fast!'
6. ...a triumph of set design and CGI over story line or credibility.
7. I Am Legend is far from a feel-good film; it's a familiar (for fans of Stephen King's The Stand or Heston's Omega Man) post-apocalyptic adventure rife with chills and hopelessness.
8. When they do, banging their heads against plate glass as movie zombies always do, I started needing something else to think about.
9. With "I Am Legend," Will Smith has accomplished what Tom Hanks did back in 2000: Effectively star in a movie that involves very little interaction with other human counterparts.
10. Will Smith shows some promise trying to find a cure for a horrific virus, but somehow the plot becomes Shrek, Bob Marley and God trying to save the world.
Consensus: I Am Legend overcomes questionable special effects and succeeds largely on the strength of Will Smith's mesmerizing performance.
Q: 1. Only the genre's most studious followers will be able to watch Muscle Shoals without being regularly astonished: Even if it sometimes gets lost in its byways, Greg "Freddy" Camalier's documentary tells an extraordinary story.
2. One of the year's most entertaining and enriching nonfiction films...Moving and joyful.
3. The film mixes an impressive array of interviews with plentiful archival footage.
4. The film possesses considerable persuasive power despite its modest substance and simple construction, making it very much like the timeless songs it showcases.
5. This is a work that's a must-see for even the most casual of music fans, while still so chock full of moments of grace and beauty that even the most jaded of us that have seen umpteen other variations on this story can still properly fall in love with it.
6. Has funky magic in it. Ooh, baby, does it ever.
7. Deals with the intriguing mystery of why so much funky music came from this one town.
8. The documentary is a little slapdash, but then so is the very idea of what Muscle Shoals means. Is it the town itself? Or the celebrated rhythm section that started at one studio and then formed its own?
9. A marvelous doc about the creation of the fabled Muscle Shoals Sound -- as powerful today as it was 50 years ago.
10. Even fans who don't know Muscle Shoals by name know its music by heart. Now they can also see how much soul went into it.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Essential for soul fans and entertaining for novices, Muscle Shoals offers a compelling, warts-and-all glimpse at one of the most fascinating stories in modern American music.
