Critic consensus:The rare sequel that arguably improves on its predecessor, Toy Story 2 uses inventive storytelling, gorgeous animation, and a talented cast to deliver another rich moviegoing experience for all ages.

Numbered reviews:1. The story is a winner, moving briskly through themes of loyalty, loss, greed and redemption.
2. There's not a single moment of this film that's not wildly imaginative and utterly delightful.
3. As in the original, the superrealist images beguile us with their bold wit, and the storytelling is so tight, urgent and inventive there doesn't seem to be a wasted moment.
4. Lively and good-humored with a great sense of fun.
5. No parent who's been roped into leading the troops to a matinee need fear being bored: gags are, Simpsons-like, conceived to tickle several generations at once.
6. More emotionally engaging than most live-action films.
7. This time out, director John Lasseter and his team of writers and technicians have found even greater emotional depth in their Hasbro Hamlets.
8. Sayonara, Pokemon! The toys are back in town.
9. In the realm of sequels, Toy Story 2 is to Toy Story what The Empire Strikes Back was to its predecessor, a richer, more satisfying film in every respect.
10. Realiza a façanha de ser ainda melhor do que o filme original.


Critic consensus:The music, the performances, the precision in capturing the post-college malaise -- The Graduate's coming-of-age story is indeed one for the ages.

Numbered reviews:1. Few movies have communicated with such dark hilarity all the anxiety and flamboyant misery of youthful sexual initiation
2. It's smart, witty, and troubling all at the same time.
3. Lovely Katharine Ross couldn't be more appealing as the daughter.
4. It is a good topical movie whose time has passed, leaving it stranded in an earlier age. I give it three stars out of delight for the material it contains; to watch it today is like opening a time capsule.
5. The most engaging thing about Mike Nichols is his awareness, strong enough to remind you of the late, great Preston Sturges, of how to use bland and idiotic exaggeration as a comic safety-valve.
6. It isn't often one gets even half a film as funny as this.
7. The Graduate gives some substance to the contention that American films are coming of age -- of our age.
8. Anne Bancroft is the stand-out. She brings depth, subtlety, and a melancholy sadness to the part that goes far beyond what is in the script.
9. Be agog at Anne Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson in some of the most hilariously icky seduction scenes ever filmed. See Mike Nichols (with help from Simon & Garfunkel) take control of the Zeitgeist. See the mood go dark -- darker than you remember.
10. Robert Surtees's stunning, innovative camerawork contributes telling visual ironies and the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack perfectly captures the mood of disaffected youth seething beneath the laid-back exterior of 1960s California.


Critic consensus:The prequel to the first full-length feature set in Bedrock, Viva Rock Vegas is a surprising improvement over The Flintstones. Aimed towards an audience of adults and children alike, critics feel Viva will appeal to a broad range of viewers.

Numbered reviews:
1. Falls from interestingly loopy to tiresome.
2. A sad, strange, dismal thing to inflict upon a child, let alone their parents, who've taken them with something like, say, fun in mind.
3. It's not delightful or funny or exciting, and for long stretches, it looks exactly like hapless actors standing in front of big rocks and reciting sitcom dialogue.
4. What’s with the film’s odd preoccupation with such adult themes as class, money, and sex?
5. Um, no surprises here. Better than the original.
6. Full of leaden one-liners and dull puns.
7. This brightly colored, lowbrow comedy is so dumb it could get lost on its way to the take-up reel, and it's proud to be dumb. But it's also clueless: Who makes a movie about dating aimed squarely at 10-year-olds?
8. Anyone who hated the first movie will almost certainly hate this one too.
9. As entertainment for kids, or for adults, it misjudges its audience by at least a millennium.
10. Viva Rock Vegas yabba-dabba-doesn't.
