Exists purely to showcase how idiotically over-the-top action sequences can become when annoyances like gravity are tossed to the side.

Some of the action sequences are insane. No, really. Absurd, impossible, physics defying, triage-required stuff. No matter. That's the foolish rush of a franchise that must go faster and faster and furiouser and furiouser.

Ludicrous, but undeniably fun and surprisingly affectionate, this is really all you could ask of a car crash movie, and more.

This final installment in the party-boy franchise... wisely drops the narrative gimmick of alcohol-induced amnesia that made the first movie so unusual and the second its pallid copy.

If only what happened in Vegas had stayed in Vegas.

The Hangover Part III is an obvious example of how wrong things can go when the almighty dollar is allowed to rule what comes out of Hollywood.

Downey is at his superhero genius best here, rattling off dialogue both clever and boilerplate with non-repetitive aplomb.

Far too much of this movie - like Tony's new toys - is running on remote control.

After a while, the steady diet of tongue-in-cheek starts to taste monotonous as day-old gum.

This is the sci-fi movie equivalent of a pretty damn good cover band.

Glossy, derivative, ambitious and fatally underpowered.

The story eventually devolves into a grab bag of sci-fi tropes but, as with so many other Cruise productions, the sheer scale of everything is so mind-numbing that you may not notice.

It's supposed to be funny, but you'd have an easier time reading a zombie's pulse than you would finding a single good laugh ...

Like so much of this whole series, the mere mention of a familiar pop culture figure or title is supposed to be hilarious.

A hate crime against cinema, a ringing indictment of the depths commercialism will go to in search of the lowest common denominator.

"This is a competent but mostly unexceptional film about a most extraordinary man."

This story inspires and entertains with a vital chapter in this nation's history.

The filmmaking is TV-movie-of-the-week dull and Robinson's ordeal is hammered home to the exclusion of virtually everything else in his life.

"There wasn't a moment during this movie when I was thinking about anything other than this movie"

One of the rare films that directly responds to and expresses modern anxieties.

A deeply flawed motion picture containing moments of brilliance that illustrate its strong thematic content.

Boyle loads his movie with so many snazzy effects that we lose sight of what it all means.

Danny Boyle's trippy, Inception-like thriller is a hypnotic head trip that demands you trust no one.

The dreamy unconscious in Trance seems haphazard, frenetic and often meaningless.

Ronan, youthfully elegant as always, tries hard, but the material defeats her.

If only the movie played as nicely as it looked.

Long, tedious and often unintentionally hilarious.

Its ambitions - even its unrealized ones - are a great part of its power.

Each chapter of The Place Beyond the Pines gets successively less interesting than the last ...

For the most part ... this is self-serious stuff, seething with ambition but almost devoid of spontaneity, and ultimately drained of genuine energy.
