1. Mr. Bean's diagnosis of Jewish self-hatred in The Believer may be misdirected in the present circumstances.
2. Valiente cinta, bien lograda y de soberbia actuación, aunque el tema será muy cuestionado y habrá quien la cuestione por lidiar con las temáticas de lo injustificable.
3. Gosling's performance at times achieves a Nietzschean grandeur.
4. An amazing and incendiary movie that dives straight into the rough waters of contradiction.
5. Definitely worth seeing.
6. It hits a few false notes when it overplays the violence committed by Danny's skinhead sidekicks, but most of the movie is chillingly understated, if that's the right term for such a heart-stopping narrative.
7. Gosling creates a staggeringly compelling character, a young man whose sharp intellect is at the very root of his contradictory, self-hating, self-destructive ways.
8. It is a challenging film, if not always a narratively cohesive one.
9. This fiery and imperfect feature shines as a demonstration of independent filmmaking at its most uncompromising.
10. A bad movie -- really a terrible movie -- with a daring idea behind it.
Consensus: Gosling commands the screen with a raw, electrifying performance.
Q: 1. It's well-appointed, well acted, tells a coherent story, has all the necessary pieces in place. But it never involves the viewer emotionally. It never thrills.
2. A riveting contemporary wartime melodrama.
3. The whole thing is just pointless, coming off as propaganda, glamorizing war and the military.
4. Courage Under Fire is as profound and intelligent as it is moving, and that makes this memorable motion picture one of 1996's best.
5. I heartily recommend it, especially for the great performances by Matt Damon, in his first major role, and Lou Diamond Phillips.
6. At the end of Courage Under Fire, you feel torn between admiration and annoyance with the filmmakers, who take an attention-grabbing premise and skillfully develop it into a conclusion that's pure piffle.
7. The film is driven by Washington's remarkable, burning performance.
8. An extremely moving picture that left me with my heart racing and my arms clutching myself and staring at the screen.
9. Denzel Washington has been playing well-balanced and in-control characters for quite a while and it is nice to see him playing a man with some serious emotional problems.
10. It is the kind of film which satisfies even as it leaves you suspecting that the scope should have been narrowed.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: An emotional and intriguing tale of a military officer who must review the merits of a fallen officer while confronting his own war demons. Effectively depicts the terrors of war as well as its heartbreaking aftermath.
1. Tropic Thunder wants to make big money mocking big-money movie making, and the only thing that detracts from the fun and comedy is how, even while you're watching it, you can't help but notice the order those priorities come in.
2. Downey imbues the movie with whatever soul (though I use that word cautiously in this context) and commitment it has.
3. Tropic Thunder deserves to be seen solely for Downey Jr.'s brilliant one-man show, which, in a perfect world, would be recognized by Oscar voters come January.
4. Saving the best for first in the case of a radically raunchy pseudo-prologue, the most frightening episode in this jungle gross-out is not warfare, but Cruise's newly bald, hairy and paunchy bizarre update of his classic Risky Business musical romp.
5. Make Satan's Alley. Do it now while Robert Downey Jr. is still Michael Phelps hot. The world needs more monk love set to Enigma.
6. A daring, politically incorrect satire on the movie industry that turns out to be one of summer's loosest, funniest comedies.
7. Simple Jack is not a bone-headed pandering Hollywood idea of what a mentally handicapped person might be like, but a joke about how Hollywood often misses the point and underestimates its audience.
8. Tropic Thunder is crass, gross and rude - but it's also funny as hell.
9. Hell, it may even save Tom Cruise's career. Let's see Batman do that.
10. Ben Stiller's audacious spoof of war movies is - without doubt - the summer's funniest comedy, sending up Hollywood egos.
Consensus: With biting satire, plenty of subversive humor, and an unforgettable turn by Robert Downey, Jr., Tropic Thunder is a triumphant late Summer comedy.
Q: 1. Lock the cage and throw away the key. 'Babe' this is NOT.
2. The odd chuckle aside, this is for the most part lots of lame slapstick and those trademark Kevin James pratfalls.
3. Though Zookeeper doesn't really cast any lingering animal magic, it has enough laughs to keep family audiences engaged during the summer holidays.
4. If a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters can produce Shakespeare, then Zookeeper must have been banged out by one primate pecking away at a keyboard between sessions playing on a tire swing.
5. James is hardly the most versatile performer and his gibbering speeches, pratfalls and slapstick antics are awfully familiar.
6. I would rather lie on a bed of nails watching Dr Doolittle for a week than see a single reel of Zookeeper again.
7. The scriptwriters subsitute volume for humour, labouring under the misapprehension that if the animals yell at one another a lot it'll have us rolling in the aisles.
8. It is only James, which his intuitive gift for physical comedy and a quirky emotional sincerity, that makes the slog a little less sloggy. Key word: little
9. If as much money had gone into the screenplay as must have gone into the paying for the star voices we might have ended up with something less mundane.
10. In which Kevin James yet again proves his absolute unfitness (in both senses) for the part of romantic comedy lead.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Zookeeper smothers Kevin James's with a sodden script and a surfeit of jokes inappropriate for the young viewers who would be intrigued by its juvenile storyline.
1. It is basically a lowbrow and secular rehash of A Christmas Carol, although Sandler creates a character more hateful than Ebenezer Scrooge.
2. The comic genius is evolving toward Bill Murray territory - that of a bright soul beaten and worn down by life, with a humorous shine tantalizingly repressed.
3. The only thing about this movie I didn't hate was Hasselhoff.
4. Those going in expecting Happy Gilmore Gets A Remote will be gravely disappointed.
5. There were times when I wanted a universal remote to fast-forward through repeated jokes about a dog having sex with a stuffed animal or children using four-letter words.
6. It's an unimaginative, mean-spirited affair that makes you hate yourself for laughing at it, and it's so devoid of anything close to wit, subtlety or sophistication.
7. Click sells itself as an Adam Sandler comedy full of immature humor (and it is), but the last 30 minutes are brilliant, heartbreaking and emotional.
8. Frank Capra is rolling over in his grave at the worthless gimmick that's needed to retell his classic story.
9. Sandler's fans may find some of his antics entertaining, but once the film turns on the waterworks, even they'll want to click away.
10. Instead of high concept turning into comedy gold with a touch of sentiment, we get a childish load of staleness that farts in the face of its Capraesque pursuit.

Consensus: This latest Adam Sandler vehicle borrows shamelessly from It's A Wonderful Life and Back To The Future, and fails to produce the necessary laughs that would forgive such imitation.
