Critic consensus:A middling Bond film, The Man With the Golden Gun suffers from double entendre-laden dialogue, a noteworthy lack of gadgets, and a villain that overshadows 007.

Numbered reviews:1. Perhaps the most inconsistent of all James Bond pictures, with some outstanding moments and sequences sitting quite blithely next to absolute rancidity.
2. the first film that actually allowed Moore to get into the role without having to live up to Connery
3. A diverting but typically silly Roger Moore entry in the Bond canon. [Blu-ray]
4. Even the theme song sung by Lulu is a real lulu.
5. Action-packed Bond film has sexual situations, shooting.
6. This one has all the right ingredients to be a great Bond flick, I mean Christopher Lee is the main villain! I don't exactly know how they screwed this up, but they did.
7. This is Bond by numbers: the fast cars, fast boats and fast women are all here, but there's little imagination at work.
8. Why did a tale that could've been a bit ragged - and a nice stretch for Moore - become simply a so-so romp? Chalk it up to the franchise's nervous need to capitalize on other genres' zeitgeist -first, blaxploitation, and here, martial arts.
9. Roger Moore is a pastry chef's idea of James Bond; but Christopher Lee as the archetype of the evil antagonist makes this 007 outing just about bearable.
10. The best Bonds, like the car that twirls, were sly without quite getting silly. The best Bonds also had Sean Connery, whose absence is sorely felt here.


Critic consensus:All the atmospherics in Dark Water can't make up for the lack of genuine scares.

Numbered reviews:1. Director Walter Salles give this shocker an added psychological/ dramatic level that heightens the shivers.
2. There are only so many thrills you can generate with terrible plumbing.
3. Dark Water will leave some viewers scratching their heads, while others will be wide-eyed with appreciation. This viewer, at least, is reasonably wide-eyed.
4. With his stirring visual sense very much intact here, Salles sets the creepy mood eloquently, but the picture ultimately fails to reward all the little shivers with any satisfying jolts.
5. Dark Water is a lesson in how to transform atmospheric J-horror into soggy B filmmaking.
6. A dull and occasionally risible remake of an even duller, more risible Japanese horror flick ...
7. While his movie lacks the psychological resonance of Rosemary's Baby or The Sixth Sense, it easily equals their creep-out quotient.
8. Dark Water has plenty of creepy moments, but few scares, and it becomes bogged down in setup.
9. Some may consider Dark Water too leisurely paced, but it's refreshing to see a film that doesn't shoo the ghost from a closet in the first half hour.
10. Dark Water achieves some, but not all, of what we might hope for.


Critic consensus:The testimony of Junge is more than enough to make this bare-bones documentary fascinating.

Numbered reviews:
1. Riveting in its simplicity.
2. A devastating act of personal confession.
3. Because it is all monologue, the film has the effect of a casual lecturer's going on for 90 minutes. But what a lecturer and what a 90 minutes!
4. Junge paints such a vivid picture with her words that visual aids would have been redundant at best and detrimental at worst.
5. The source and the subject matter make it difficult to assign critical judgement to Blind Spot, but the film's snail pace means it will probably appeal mostly to scholars and students of the Holocaust.
6. Amazingly, the film grows monotonous because Heller and Schmiderer can do nothing, via archival footage or even novel camera placements, to vary the program.
7. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the psychology of a follower who remained blindly obedient until the bitter end.
8. Junge's testimony is a salutary reminder that [Hitler] was like other people in ways, and that the evil he manifested could visit us again if more civilized humans don't remain watchful.
9. This is a straightforward, dead-ahead documentary...but nonetheless it builds to a poignant, extreme and terminal climax that shoots off the celluloid right into our guts, piercing our sense of history and humanity.
10. Traudl Junge tells interesting stories, but unless you're a historian that has been waiting to hear her version of Hitler's days in office, this would be just as effective if you wait to see it on the small screen.
