Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. This has no contextual structure at all. It is essentially the archive footage slapped together.
2. Conscientiously, if conventionally edited re-hash of the Oscar-winning "We Were Kings."
3. In addition to the expected shots of Ali and Don King in all their megalomania, the intimate portraits of James Brown, Bill Withers, and B.B. King in his triumphant homecoming are as powerful as their performances.
4. Passionate fans of the music will relish these archived images while regular moviegoers will be entertained, but not moved by what they see.
5. As the record of a cultural event, Soul Power is a hit-and-miss affair.
6. Gluttons for these artists and for music festivals in general might wonder, as I have, whether there's any way the filmmakers might share more of the remaining 123 1/2 hours.
7. A non-stop head-bobbing knee-bouncer.
8. Some may complain about the lack of contextualizing material but what is on the screen is so exciting and energetic that most viewers will probably be too busy tapping their feet and swaying their heads to the beats on display to notice or care.
9. Documentary about the three-day music festival preceding the famous Ali-Foreman fight has its moments, but plays too much like what it is: outtakes from the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings.
10. A thrilling time machine that lets you travel to Zaire in 1974 to see legendary performers bringing it all back home.

Here is the consensus of critics:Featuring some incredible performances from many 70s soul legends, Soul Power is an exhilarating snap-shot of a bygone era.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Hell is other people - especially the ones who know you best - in Alex Ross Perry's acidly funny and unnerving portrait of a psychological breakdown.
2. this dual character study, featuring a balls out performance from Moss and an eerie one from Waterston feels like so many other movies, everything from "3 Women"...to "Rosemary's Baby" and "Repulsion," yet defies coming into its own focus.
3. Almost subliminally upsetting, "Queen of Earth" touches viewers' primal fears by continually messing with worries embedded in our subconscious.
4. ...the result is an earth-shattering performance in a film that solidifies Perry's place among the most exciting filmmakers working in American cinema today.
5. Ms. Waterston, a Modigliani in motion and often in black, easily holds your attention, but it is Ms. Moss, with her intimate expressivity, who annihilates you from first tear to last crushing laugh.
6. Not all of Queen Of Earth gels perfectly, but when it does, it can be breathtaking.
7. It's a midnight movie that turns out to be a Rainer Werner Fassbinder chamber drama.
8. ...both a self-conscious homage and a frustrating dither.
9. Those new to the helmer's grainy, consuming, self-absorbed worldview are welcomed with a chilling portrait of disintegration, cementing Perry's reputation for unflinching, raw nerve work.
10. Perry's movie may not be easy to watch, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

Here is the consensus of critics:Led by a searing performance from Elisabeth Moss, Queen of Earth is a demanding -- and ultimately rewarding -- addition to writer-director Alex Ross Perry's impressive filmography.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Taken makes no false promises. It looks like a mindless track-down shoot-'em-up ... because that's exactly what it is. It ain't artful -- but it sure can be fun.
2. Neeson's character calls himself a "preventer," because he keeps bad things from happening. Not this time.
3. A blunt-force narrative...[though] Morel does good work with a string of brutish and short action scenes...
4. He's a father on a mission. He just happens to have the skills of Jason Bourne.
5. The usual vengeance-hunter plot, acting's sandblasted by action, and the movie rips through Paris like a One-Man Army American on a single-minded mission.
6. The action sequences start off great, but then they go too far over the edge of believability and plunge into the abyss of cartoon violence.
7. Mill's towering righteousness is just too much for this weak little film, whose only interest is in affirming the white patriarchal prerogative.
8. Taken does have a few glaring weaknesses, but there wasn't a minute that went by when I wasn't entertained or glued to my seat. And when I go see a mindless action film, that's the thing I care about most.
9. The melodramatic set-up takes little time in Pierre Morel's extra-actionated thriller. Almost as soon as Kimmie lands in Paris and neglects to call her father on the super-phone he's provided her, she's punished -- severely.
10. In the preposterous but gripping Taken, international scumbags mess with the wrong dad.

Here is the consensus of critics:Taken is undeniably fun with slick action, but is largely a brainless exercise.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Argo feels like a proper old-fashioned 70s thriller, the kind Alan J Pakula used to make: taut and lean, but with dialogue to die for, plus character and attitude to spare.
2. As the suspense intensifies, it becomes increasingly obvious that many of these suspense-laden plot points are simply made up. The story turns into a standard Hollywood formula and it loses credibility because of that.
3. For a story about out-of-the-box thinking and high-risk heroism, Argo plays it surprisingly safe.
4. Impeccably directed, superbly written and brilliantly acted, this is a terrifically entertaining thriller that gets everything right and confirms Ben Affleck as a major directing talent.
5. Combining laughs and thrills with plenty of verve, Ben Affleck continues his smart directorial career with a stylish, gripping hostage drama.
6. This is a film that runs the gamut from grim to absurd.
7. Ben Affleck continues his hot streak as a director.
8. Argo is tense, affective and not just Affleck's best film but one of the best films of the year.
9. ...the best kind of Hollywood movie, a gripping, suspenseful story leavened with dry grim humor and resolved in well-earned uplift.
10. Affirms Affleck's talents and, perhaps, his limitations. The period detail and overall technical credits impress, but Affleck relies too often on handheld camera to convey intensity, and on crosscutting to generate suspense or 'irony.'

Here is the consensus of critics:
Tense, exciting, and often darkly comic, Argo recreates a historical event with vivid attention to detail and finely wrought characters.
