Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
54%
2.5/4
“Phantom is crammed with events, characters and story line, and yet it's often boring because it manages to seem like nothing's going on. It's a mile wide and a centimeter deep.” –

“No one is that interested in Star Wars anymore. So watching Spaceballs is like picking up an old copy of Mad magazine and being puzzled about that Jack Palance parody you found so funny years ago.” –

“As a movie, it's not much, but Who's the Man? rolls into a throwaway cool breeze, becoming a hip-hop version of one of those Hope and Crosby road movies.” –

Batman (1989)

“Batman tries to span the uncharted area between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Blue Velvet, which is worthy of notice. That it fails may be because of Tim Burton's lack of narrative cohesion. ” –

“It's rare, and kind of touching, really, to see a lushly financed studio spectacular work so hard to keep everyone's attention. And with enough symbolism to keep online chat rooms busier than the day Babylon 5 was cancelled.” –

2/5
“This kind of bravura, pumped-up filmmaking is the stuff of great trailers; the coming attraction spots take the top of our head off. But it's exhausting, and you begin to feel that the movie runs on a special clock in which every minute lasts 90 seconds.” –

“A likably off-balance, screwball comedy mystery that cruises along so smoothly, and so quickly, you've got to pay attention. That's because Bridges' towering performance may divert your eye from the keen details. ” –
