Other Examiners:
- 0 Stars - Disgusting, rage-inducingly evil. Deserves the same fate as the busted printer in Office Space (click) (NSFW, language)
- 1/2* - There may be one tiny thing in this piece of drek to be appreciated, but you'd have to be really bored to go looking for it.
- * - Awful. Could possibly get some enjoyment out of it by getting drunk and making fun of the movie with friends.
- *1/2 - Barely vital. Shows promise but ultimately not worth your time.
- ** - Mediocre. A non-starter.
- **1/2 - Some good to be found here, but bogged down in a lot of bad.
- *** - A cautious recommendation. Plenty wrong with it, but buoyed by enough good to make it work for me.
- ***1/2 - A solid, if flawed movie. Very much worth your time.
- **** - Highly recommended. Does what it sets out to do with expert precision.
- ****1/2 - A must see. Expertly conceived and executed with few hitches.
- ***** - Perfect or damn near. I would be floored to meet someone who did not like this movie.
- Watchmen (review coming soon)
- Observe and Report (review coming soon)
- Up
- Adventureland
