Among Mel Brooks' best
Reviewed by Juliska for History of the World: Part 1 at 2011-05-05 13:54:08
Lots of bawdy humor makes this not for the kiddies, but it's a fast-paced laugh per minute farce in the same vein as the "Naked Gun" films for breakneck speed of the gags. Don't miss Moses parting the Red Sea & bringing down the *15* (yes, 15) Commandments from Mount Sinai.

In the film, John Hurt says "So much of life is wasted in waiting". Can't think of a better statement for this God-awful movie.

Really good.
Reviewed by hollythedinosaur for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 at 2011-01-25 16:52:13
Being a HUGE fan of harry potter myself I have been looking forward to the double movie finale for a long time. I went to see this film on the day it came out and I was very excited. I was desperately hoping it would be equally as good as the others, and luckily it completely succeeded with no doubt. I'm going to keep this short but all in all I love this film and I can't wait for the next instalment.

Criminally underrated.
Reviewed by NWRdr4 for The Osterman Weekend at 2010-06-18 20:53:19
Worthy of bearing Sam Peckinpah's legendary name. The storyline is complex, though some call it convoluted. Either way, it makes you think. Some scenes do get a bit frustrating, and leave you wondering what is going on, but they always lead to satisfactory conclusions/explanations--"the ends justify the means." The movie's action scenes often include repeated shots and odd camera angles, which make them seem almost surreal. I attribute this odd effect more to sloppy editing than I do ingenuity, but I think it's effective nonetheless. In summation: The Osterman Weekend is an intelligent, competently-made thriller; not perfect by any means, but certainly undeserving of the negativity and neglect it's accumulated over the years.

Freedom
Reviewed by TheDarkHero98 for V for Vendetta at 2010-05-05 13:46:06
The work of a professional. Hugo Weaving is a master of saying words beginning with V. To be seen by fans of freedom, assassins and action.

Suffers from Genre Confusion
Reviewed by Sharkbait for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at 2009-03-07 02:43:49
Okay, Mr. Lucas, intellectually, I understand what you claim you were trying to do here. If the first three Indy movies were an homage to 1930s adventure serials, then 'Crystal Skull' is an homage to 1950s sci-fi B-movies. Okay, but the problem is, you're still making an Indy sequel, and the two genres don't blend well. Add to that the over-use of CGI (digital ants are just not creepy like REAL snakes, giant bugs or rats), and this kinda fun movie just falters. We needed this flick 15 years ago, before the idea of what an Indy film should be got so diluted.

Lame, lame, lame
Reviewed by mfaerber for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at 2009-02-25 14:12:07
Brief periods of decent action and tries to be compelling & fun as the former films -- but the overdone, over-the-top action sequences just ruin these movies for me now! Can't you make action/chase scenes with some of the gritty and quasi-realistic flavor of the first Indy, and not be so "Matrix" ridiculous?

its kingdom of Dull
Reviewed by ganesan for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at 2008-07-30 07:19:14
Apart frm couple of sequences where we see the director's talent , the movie is not attractive. Two bones would be ok.

Where was Short Round?

Hey, Dr. Jones, what happened to your adopted son, Shorty? What did you leave him back on the streets of Shanghai with Willie Scott and a promise to return after you went out and grabbed a pack of cigarettes? Not cool, man. Not cool.

Nice Premise, But Typical Hollywood
Reviewed by KHL for The Skeleton Key at 2008-04-15 15:31:33
There is some nice atmosphere here and an intriguing plotline involving hoodoo and a house with an old and not so nice history, but where it could have resembled something like Angel Heart (a similar type of movie), it just didn't really pull off the 'scary' vibe. Worth one watch, the acting is decent, but the 'scares' are too typically Hollywood and therefore aren't really that spooky.

I'm not usually a fan of Mel Brooks' films, but this one makes me whoop with laughter. Plus, Bill Pullman is crushworthy as the hero who is a blend of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.
