2.5/4
“The most startling disappointment of "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" is its less-than-overpowering visual impact.” –

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

“It's all so American -- a modest idea that grows huge, becomes unstoppable, is corrupted a touch, regains its footing and leaves on a glorious but mellowed high note.” –

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
54%
2.5/4
“So, in "The Phantom Menace" we have interesting relationships that don't quite go far enough. Dazzling special effects and Lucas' new baby - computer-generated characters - don't exactly overwhelm their stories but they certainly are distracting.” –

Do the Right Thing (1989)

“"Do the Right Thing" is striking visually, and it has a rhythmic, unsettling tone; if it fails to be entirely convincing or realistic, it is original and daring.” –

Back to School (1986)
81%
“"Back to School" is loaded with bawdy, crude and hilarious one-liners, double entendres and sight gags that are sure to offend the uptight. But if you stay away because you hear it's raunchy, you'll miss a good and surprisingly sweet movie.” –

Scream 3 (2000)

2/4
“Of all the problems that dog Scream 3, the actual identity of the villain is the thorniest and, in that promised and very windy exposition scene, when the villain reveals its identity, it's a "Who cares?" moment. ” –

“Astonishing and so powerful it makes most other movies look like hack jobs, David Lynch's Blue Velvet leaves you limp as a wet wash rag and yet euphoric over the greatness you've just witnessed.” –

“A rather slim offering with none of the dynamic sweep of Disney's best. Oddly, it feels generic, as if it might have come from another company with less money and less genius at work.” –

“Girls Town earns points for its subject matter. But a movie must have more than good intentions to win us over; it should provide a fresh look at the world around us. Here, Girls Town falls short.” –
