1. Both the toughest Bond movie ever and the most entertaining Bond movie ever. A rare entry in the series where the danger seems real.
2. It's all very pacy, with the overly straightforward plotting dimmed but not obscured by the hi-tech effects.
3. A cameo by Wayne Newton pushes the film into full-on kitsch, and many feared the series was dead after Licence's poor showing.
4. Very hardcore for Bond
5. Even weak James Bond is better than the norm action flicks, and this one qualifies.
6. Despite some shaky narrative continuity and muddled motivations, this manages to move pretty briskly, and the action sequences are generally well handled, especially at the climax.
7. The thrills-and-spills chases are superbly orchestrated as pic spins at breakneck speed through its South Florida and Central American locations.
8. Hardcore Bond fans may be dismayed by some of the changes, but no one can deny that the action scenes staged by director John Glen are some of the most spectacular of the entire series and well worth the price of admission.
9. Dalton brought a seriousness back to the films that somehow got lost in a lot of silliness along the way.
10. Dalton is just a little TOO serious as Bond.
What is the critic consensus?
A: License to Kill is a sharp action picture -- it's darker than many of the other entries, with Timothy Dalton playing Bond with intensity -- but it still has some solid chases and fight scenes.

1. Brilliant when it examines the people who surround his feverish couple, but uncertain when it comes to the lovers themselves.
2. There's no question that this is Lee's most ambitious and successful work so far, but it will be nice if, in the future, he has enough confidence in his story to let down even more of his affectations.
3. I believe that Lee has some interesting things to say about it, but he gets too weighted down by the dubiousness of it all.
4. The result, for the most part, is a provocative, quintessentially Spike symphony.
5. Lee is never content to show one side of the picture and he attempts to address issues that he's not even convinced he's on the wrong side of.
6. It's uneven, but its best moments -- such as Samuel L Jackson's performance -- are amongst Lee's finest achievements on film.
7. Includes a number of memorable set pieces, most notably a visit to a crack den which, accompanied by the epic sound of Stevie Wonder's "Living In The City," is simply unforgettable.
8. Always provocative.
9. Lee brings a shotgun to a knife fight, but his visual energy is undeniably effective, spraying the screen with venom and appalling realities, with most of the feature locked in confessional mode.
10. Snipes, it's clear, is a major actor.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Jungle Fever finds Spike Lee tackling timely sociopolitical themes in typically provocative style, even if the result is sometimes ambitious to a fault.

1. Inventive alien creatures are voiced by top-notch talent like Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce and Martin Short, while the lack of songs and updated character issues, including single parenthood, money and juvenile crime, keep the whole thing pretty hip.
2. I think kids will find it really entertaining, and parents will find it amusing enough.
3. Not since Mulan (or, quite possibly, even The Hunchback of Notre Dame) has there been a Disney cartoon so casual about its own brilliance...
4. Most Disney flicks work on an adult level; I don't feel like I need a kid to lug into the theatre with me. This time, I felt like I needed a kid.
5. The studio may be taking a monetary risk by straying from its musical formula, but it can rest assured that in doing so it's delivered a pleasing entertainment.
6. Half Star Wars and half Classics Illustrated, Disney's Treasure Planet is a total blast, filled with animation dazzle and imaginative storytelling.
7. Where we kids of all ages ought to be eagerly running out, hearts pounding and faces flushed with excitement, to hoist the Jolly Roger in the backyard, all we can do is reel from having the warm fuzzies mercilessly pounded into us.
8. The overall tone of this rocket-paced updating is exhilaratingly giddy, making it by far Disney's best animated film since Mulan.
9. While the artwork in the film is very good, the story is curiously cool and emotionally uninvolving.
10. Treasure Planet is certainly suffering from creative schizophrenia.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Though its characterizations are weaker than usual, Treasure Planet offers a fast-paced, beautifully rendered vision of outer space.

1. sad beyond belief, but lovely to look at and listen to
2. ... introduced us to a Hobbesian world where bad things could happen to the adorable, and sent thousands of children blubbering into theater lobbies around the world.
3. A brilliantly animated, heart-tugging parable.
4. Beautiful in every sense of the word. I consider it the finest Disney Classic out there.
5. Overrated by people who never read the original book and think kids' voices with speech impediments are cute.
6. The circle of life is shown to dramatic effect in the changes of the seasons, and the growing of the animals from toddlers, to adolescents, to adults.
7. In colors that would surprise even the spectrum itself, Disney's cartoon craftsmen have re-created a woodland that shimmers and glows and darkens altogether magically.
8. It still brings tears to my eyes. Disney at its finest.
9. Bambi is probably one of the best movies ever made, if not THE best.
10. Among the best Disney animated features
What is the critic consensus?
A:
Elegantly animated and deeply touching, Bambi is an enduring, endearing, and moving Disney classic.
