Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. It may have seemed plausible on paper, but Left Behind, the conspiracy-laden, Christian-themed thriller that has sold five million copies in book form, just looks ludicrous on screen.
2. So awful that even true believers will have difficulty staying awake.
3. A classic case of preaching to the converted, this relentlessly boring movie is unlikely to appeal to anyone except hard-core fans of Christian sci-fi.
4. For all its intimations of fire and brimstone, the film isn't remotely frightening, and the high-school-level acting doesn't help.
5. A competently made film hampered by wooden performances and a script that has a few too many 'Gee whiz' moments of dialogue.
6. One of the better efforts, up there with Don Murray's The Cross and the Switchblade.
7. While the book has its share of contrivances ... This 95 minute movie rushes over everything so quickly, that the plot holes look an awful lot bigger.
8. Nearly unendurable.
9. Unless you are well versed in that particular interpretation of the Book of Revelation, you'll just be scratching your head.
10. An exceedingly poorly made motion picture.

Here is the consensus of critics:Poor production values, slow pacing, and an implausible story makes Left Behind a movie only for the faithful.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Brutal and with a plot that's all over the place, it seems we're taking early delivery of a Christmas turkey.
2. As gangster thrillers go, this one is a ripper. William Monahan, Oscar-winning screenwriter for The Departed (2006) has adapted Ken Bruen's book in great style and directs his top cast adroitly
3. There are all kinds of weirdo supporting players and the requisite amount of bloody killing scenes, but it doesn't add up to much and London Boulevard just feels like its trying to hard to be edgy.
4. This crime story smacks of all-too-familiar elements and is told with a blandly straightforward approach.
5. Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley make a dynamite pairing.
6. A stylish if familiar tale of a man hopelessly entangled in his past.
7. Screenwriter William Monahan trades in South Boston for South London, only to discover he forgot to pack his A to Z.
8. A movie is more than dialogue and a soundtrack. And direction is a lot more than making sure all your favorite parts of your own script make it to the screen intact.
9. In trying to take a bite out of crime and another out of fame, [Monahan has] ended up with more than he can chew for his first time in the director's chair.
10. Monahan's trademark tart dialogue is as strong as ever, and Farrell and Winstone make for a formidable pair of opponents.

Here is the consensus of critics:In spite of its spotless pedigree and a strong sense of visual style, London Boulevard stumbles over its frenetic pace and crowded, clichéd plot.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Sober but stirring ...
2. If you can overlook the three or four endings, each more overdone than the last, there's a lot to like here.
3. "Bridge of Spies" is a neat encapsulation of America's great commercial director pushing for sophistication while sticking to familiar beats.
4. Hanks has never seemed more like a modern Jimmy Stewart, drink in hand, just looking to get home to his bed, as the script leans into its cavalcade of slightly bizarre negotiations with Eastern European goons.
5. A quaint and a romanticized look at largely unsung American heroes.
6. The film has a streamlined efficiency, but it feels like the work of a master who wants to please rather than probe.
7. What really manages to standout is the impeccable and sensational performance of Emmy Award nominee Mark Rylance, who steals and owns every scene he's present.
8. Bridge Of Spies is good, just not "Steven Spielberg good."
9. Confirms that when it comes to historic dramas, Steven Spielberg is still the best.
10. This is a handsome and mature entertainment, rich with novelistic intrigue.

Here is the consensus of critics:Bridge of Spies finds new life in Hollywood's classic Cold War espionage thriller formula, thanks to reliably outstanding work from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. With Life Is Beautiful, the final frontier of schmaltz has been reached.
2. The film's title, which very well could have been a straightforward declaration prior to the war, becomes a source of twisted irony once we witness Guido pull down the grate outside his humble bookshop and the words JEWISH STORE are seen sprayed across th
3. Wrenching Holocaust fable with bittersweet humor.
4. Roberto Benigni's finest hour arrived in 1997 when the triple-threat writer/director/actor delved deep into Charlie Chaplin territory - see "The Great Dictator" (1940).
5. This cross between Schindler's List and Hogan's Heroes works better than it has any right to, but not as well as most people would have you believe.
6. Benigni's point, made with tender sensitivity, is that a child's innocence is worth protecting.
7. Benigni does with the Nazi setting what Chaplin didn't dare in The Great Dictator--he lets the liberating nonsense triumph.
8. Sentimental and contrived, Benigni's well-intentioned Holocaust dramedy may only work as a children's fable. Inexplicably, it won a prize at the 1998 Cannes Festival.
9. It embraces the bravery of its victims, and educates its audience through truly accessible characters.
10. I had thought The Other Sister was appalling in its exploitation of the mentally disabled to grab your entertainment dollar, but that was nothing, NOTHING compared to what the funny little Italian man has wrought.

Here is the consensus of critics:
Benigni's earnest charm, when not overstepping its bounds into the unnecessarily treacly, offers the possibility of hope in the face of unflinching horror.
