Q: 1. Here is the problem: If you separate these kids from their characters, if you remove their showtunes from the storylines that make them so dazzling in the fantasy-reality play of the series, then Glee is stripped of its core appeal.
2. Don't be puzzled; just go with it -- that's the Glee spirit.
3. The television hit Glee will inevitably jump the shark - or dance over it - as pop culture phenomena do. A decade from now, people may wonder what all the fuss was about. More folks than Gleeks choose to believe exist are wondering that now.
4. The layers of artifice are many, but they always are; the original show has never aspired to be anything but a cheeky, tuneful and multicultural spin on hoary high school stereotypes.
5. Following in the live-film footsteps of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie transposes its flash-in-the-pan teen-pop phenomenon to three-dimensions with mundane, for-fans-only results.
6. You know you want that slushee in your face (in 3D), Gleeks!
7. With touching real-life underdog stories woven through the concert, Glee: 3D hits all the right notes, even if the 3-D was completely unnecessary.
8. 'Greatest hits' show is tame enough for tween Gleeks.
9. A gleeful good time if Glee is your thing.
10. Quite painless, and, what's more, a whole lotta fun, with many moments of pure musical electricity.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: The unconverted will remain just as perplexed as ever, but for gleeful Gleeks, The 3D Concert Movie delivers exactly what it promises.
1. With its meticulous attention to detail and superior production values, the film promises much more than its unseasoned cast and thin plotting deliver.
2. Amazing aerial stunts %u2013 they are really are quite a sight to behold.
3. Each air battle has been scripted as a set piece that not only shows off the capabilities of the pilots and their machines, but also advances the plot. Bring your Dramamine!
4. It may indeed be inspired by a true story, but what we see onscreen is simply "Star Wars" set in some fantasy French air base circa 1917.
5. The characters, although based on real life people, are one-dimensional stereotypes that exist for the sole purpose of presenting indistinguishable flesh-and-blood pilots for superabundant air battles.
6. The best of Pearl Harbor meeting the worst of HBO's Band of Brothers.
7. Yearning for a time when warfare seemed so much simpler and more honourable, Flyboys is a thrilling, spectacular ride - but only when its dull characters get off the ground.
8. This well-produced, engaging film somewhat overreaches itself, trying to turn a crackling adventure into a sweeping emotional epic.
9. It's as family-friendly as a war movie can be these days, relying on the daring of its amazing aerial sequences rather than carnage or vulgarity to promote its authenticity.
10. Flyboys doesn't just use cliches - it wallows in them, feeling more like a film based on old war movies than actual history.
Consensus: A poorly scripted history-rewriting exercise with mediocre acting and unconvincing CGI battle scenes.
Q: 1. The film has some outrageously enjoyable set-pieces, but overall, the convoluted plot and Rodriguez' agenda spoil the fun.
2. Un entretenimiento crudo, básico, con personajes de una sola pieza, algunos diálogos increíbles y generosas dosis de sangre y desmembramientos. Un homenaje de Robert Rodríguez al cine clase B que tanto le gusta.
3. Supremely self-aware and steeped in the aesthetics of vintage exploitation movies,Machete is a loving, blood-spattered homage to the gritty grindhouse action pictures of yesteryear.
4. Robert Rodriguez... brings his A game to the Z-grade, revelling in the cheesiness and over-the-top violence.
5. Yes it's a lot of fun and great to see such an illustrious cast get in on the act of making lowbrow cinema with a smile on their face, shame the cult element remains and only fans of the grindhouse genre will be fully engaged from start to finish.
6. Social commentary, you ask? Quite how can a film centrally preoccupied with Danny Trejo stabbing and shooting people and having sex with lots of women have any sort of pretension to political currency?
7. The lack of subtlety and discipline is what can make Machete a disreputable pleasure and less than a full success.
8. [Robert] Rodriguez's politics are right on the surface and about as complex as the film's revenge plot, a kind-of populist response to the anti-immigration rhetoric...
9. Starts out strong but things get a little wonky toward the finale. Sadly, the film is far too married to the faux trailer footage.
10. While it's riotously entertaining, there's nothing much to it.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Machete is messy, violent, shallow, and tasteless -- and that's precisely the point of one of the summer's most cartoonishly enjoyable films.
Q: 1. The most deft touch belongs to Gondry.
2. Some may consider it a callous critical evaluation. In truth, it's nothing short of a luxuriant love letter.
3. Sandwiched between Gondry and Bong's variously euphoric entries, Carax's contribution seems either a work of deep cynicism from an inveterate party-pooper or a welcome satirical sour note from one of the great talents of 80s and 90s French cinema.
4. Tickles, repulses, and beguiles
5. If Tokyo! has a unifying idea, it's the devastating effect loneliness has on the psyche, an interesting choice given Tokyo's status as one of the world's densest cities.
6. All three screenplays were probably composed on the plane to Japan. With any luck, this trend will die out.
7. My problem is that even though the three weird stories are intriguing and of interest in their own right, but when compiled as one film they seemed undeveloped.
8. Gondry, Carax, and Bong work up three riffs not on Tokyo but on "Tokyo"-all reasonably diverting and offering distinctive curlicues on the title's exclamation point.
9. Perhaps it is inevitable as three foreign directors train their lenses on that unique island culture of the East that all three are propelled by fantasy or science fiction, and suggest more alienation from Tokyo than affection for the great city.
10. Paris, New York and even Toronto have all gotten their due in a recent wave of city-centric omnibus films that let world-renowned auteurs run wild in their streets. Yet none of these yielded anything as strange or as idiosyncratic as Tokyo!
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: An imaginative, if uneven, love letter to a city that signals a great creative enterprise by its three contributing directors.
