“I was still frustrated by the reliance on computers when it came to character, but the light sabre finale was such good, silly fun -- that I forgave Lucas all the technical excess, embraced the hokum and enjoyed the ride.” –

“A good movie touches you, and Phantom Menace - cocooned in cold, computer-generated images and dull, unsympathetic characters - couldn't poke a single finger out of its hard drive shell.” –

“Alien Resurrection has big props, a big budget and some brilliant horror, but it lacks feeling and blows the climax. Must be "one of those chick things."” –

“The resulting revelations are about as deep as "rock 'n' roll is a vicious game," but Crowe knows his material intimately and translates this life-altering drama into a movie that is fleetingly profound and profoundly entertaining.” –
