Q: 1. No End in Sight offers an emphatic, well-supported answer to a question that has already begun to be mooted on television talk shows: Who lost Iraq?.
2. A damning appraisal of America's handling of the Iraq war.
3. The larger picture presented here will likely be old news, although it will jab the memory and still will shock.
4. Want to kick start a drinking problem? Just give No End in Sight a look, and you're assured a cold, dark night ingesting anything nearby that will sooth the post-viewing depression.
5. The anger that fuels Ferguson's film is felt in nearly every frame.
6. The most compelling and least partisan of all the Iraq documentaries.
7. Rehashes information you already knew and tries to inflate trivia into scandal.
8. A valuable summary of a variety of missteps that have led to the current debacle.
9. Doesn't offer startlingly new information, [but] its calm, methodical presentation of the evidence is a solid contribution to...the American public's understanding.
10. Its message should be dispassionately studied by anyone who presumes to care about the future of this country.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Charles Ferguson's documentary provides a good summary of the decisions that led to the mess in post-war Iraq, and offers politically interested audiences something they'd been looking for: a lowdown on the decision making.
1. Resembles a vanity project that looks as though every frame was submitted by producer-director Simon to Mr. Walsch for his approval.
2. The facial hair that actor Henry Czerny is forced to wear in Conversations With God is ludicrous, even laughable -- as is much of this film.
3. The film is professionally mounted, smoothly constructed and carried with ease by Czerny's assured performance.
4. A coda after the closing credits, encouraging divine dialogues in general, does little to dispel the hagiographic aftertaste.
5. A terminally muddled movie, uncertain as to whether it's promoting Neale, God, Mammon, Putnam Books or the capitalist exploitation of spiritual need.
6. An amateurishly assembled movie-of-the- week-calibre feature with little dramatic energy for the depiction of a life-changing epiphany.
7. The cinematography has all the flair and depth of your average episode of "Yes, Dear"; the score is a giggle-inducing juggernaut of obviousness; Eric DelaBarre's script contains virtually no believable dialogue; and Stephen Simons' direction carries the s
8. ...boils down to the assertion that God is that voice in your head, a fairly innocent concept until God starts telling you to do something wrong.
9. Although Stephen Simon's film has the mawkish trappings of an inspirational tale, its unseemly emphasis on monetary matters makes Walsch seem less interested in the spiritual possibilities of his celestial networking skills than their financial benefits.
10. B movie w/ good heart. Not everyone will buy into the spirituality dogma, I'm not sure I do. But, there is a definite need for all of us to take a deeper look into our souls.
Consensus: At some point in the conversation, God must have asked for a subtler, deeper film.
Q: 1. Mr. Braff, Ms. Portman, Mr. Sarsgaard and Mr. Holm never strike a false note as a remarkably coherent acting ensemble, and it is good to see Ron Leibman again in the small role of Doctor Cohen.
2. This "lost souls" movie will be compared to "The Graduate" and "Lost in Translation." But it stands on its own because of its quirky characters and situations.
3. I had forgotten that it was possible to laugh at the movies without watching a dog get drunk on Scotch or two unwitting teenage siblings make out.
4. The film's saving grace, ironically, is that earnestness.
5. an auspicious film debut which features some quirky-yet-endearing performances, a killer soundtrack, and a screenplay far deeper than we should expect from a mere sitcom actor
6. Ultimately, The Graduate could only offer that the young would shut out the old and start over. Garden State is about the next season, about getting off the bus.
7. It has much in common with The Graduate, and unlike so many other films that have followed the 1967 classic, it is worthy of the comparison.
8. A decent film and an ambitious directorial debut for star Braff, but the movie struck me in just such a way that I was able to see the gears turning and the seams being sewn.
9. Smart drama for mature older teens and up.
10. It's heart is beautifully expressed through humour, dry wit and honest emotion that never gets sappy at all.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Delivering a quirky spin on familiar twentysomething tropes -- with a cannily-placed soundtrack -- Garden State has enough charm to mark a winning debut for first-time director Zach Braff.
1. Zathura is a pleasant surprise that combines action, humor and special F/X in even, balanced portions.
2. Never before has "space camp" been such a good compliment and such a bad pun.
3. Zathura has pure adventure, a heart that doesn't force itself, and visuals that will fuel the dreams of children everywhere for years to come.
4. even with all the peril danger and turmoil the game causes, we secretly with that we could open a box from our basement and enter into an adventure like this... at least I do
5. If I were still 12 years old, "Zathura" would be my new favorite movie, and even at 12, I had very good taste in movies.
6. Much of the pleasure of Jon Favreau's adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's Zathura comes from its utter simplicity and directness of purpose.
7. Complete nonsense in many ways... but in portraying these two kids, their sister, and their dad, it somehow feels right.
8. Imaginative! Fun! Good times...good times.
9. fun, imaginative adventure for kids and adults that needs some help in the special effects department, but keeps you interested throughout.
10. Marginal special effects and a heavy-handed dead-end plot ... space trash.
Consensus: Dazzling special effects for the kids + well-crafted storytelling for the 'rents = cinematic satisfaction for the whole family.
Q: 1. Alan Parker's turgid, bleeding-heart The Life of David Gale may just shame good liberals straight into the Republican Party.
2. Punches the expected buttons without being entirely convincing.
3. Somewhere between thriller and propaganda.
4. A perfect film for a February opening, a time when viewers are less critical and happy to kick back and enjoy an old fashioned mystery/thriller.
5. Our audience was howling in laughter at Winslet's over-emotional histrionics, and by the end, so was I.
6. Politicism is charted on a circle, and the extremes of both ends tend to meet at the bottom.
7. Glitzy, yes, challenging credibility, maybe, but nonetheless a clever thriller emerges from a political diatribe.
8. Going through the motions of a liberal-Hollywood polemic with the sweaty, mounting hysteria of a bad liar, The Life of David Gale is foremost an overheating gotcha machine.
9. Wherever you stand on the death penalty, there ought to be a law against a message movie this contrived.
10. Tries to give you two films for the price of one. Unfortunately, it does neither very well.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Instead of offering a convincing argument against the death penalty, this implausible, convoluted thriller pounds the viewer over the head with its message.
