2.5/5
“Undeniably, it is a spectacle of major proportions, and this will satisfy many. But it is drudgery watching digital innovation when all else is so vapid...” –

The Devil's Advocate (1997)

1.5/5
“Devil's Advocate possesses such assets and problems that many will be divided in whether to applaud it for its witless audacity or chastise it for its contemptuous treatment of its audience.” –

Alien Resurrection (1997)
55%
3/5
“The film lacks heart. And why would it continue to beat when its third incarnation took it so close to death? It might try admirable resuscitation, but it is not quite worth the effort.” –

Armageddon (1998)

2.5/5
“Armageddon is as much an amalgam of many films before it, rather than its own entity. This is not a bad thing when the money is on the screen, but Armageddon could have done with some playfulness. ” –

3.5/5
“It is best not to know where 10 Cloverfield Lane will take you. Revel in the competence of its craft and the playfulness of its performances. And revel in not knowing, for once.” –

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)
77%
“While The Deathly Hallows is not the best film in the series, it hardly matters. Too many people have invested too much in Harry Potter, they will not bear to miss the finale, or even his bleak and inconclusive prelude to the dark.” –
