“As pure entertainment, it works. Thought it won't be as memorable as The Lion King or Aladdin, it's still prototypical Disney fare.” –

Aladdin (1992)

3.5/4
“The balance of songs are co-written by Menken and Tim Rice, whose lyrics lack the snap and wit of Ashman's. But it's hard to find much fault with a film that is as consistently entertaining as this.” –

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

2.5/4
“Well worth seeing, but less than magical... The whole thing feels manufactured, lacking in the fluid spontaneity of The Little Mermaid; Beauty has the feel of a film in which everyone was under a great deal of pressure to create "magic."” –

Alien 3 (1992)

2/4
“In this film, there's not enough complexity or intrigue for [Sigourney Weaver] to work with. Instead, we get the slick self-indulgence of director David Fincher, a man who seems to think he invented the cinematic uses of backlighting and dry ice.” –

“Darabont's screenplay is too expertly massaged for its own good, but the performances, particularly Freeman's authoritative portrayal, redeem much of the formula.” –

“What makes Forrest Gump a stunning triumph, a departure from the mediocre norm? A big reason is the way the film provides a fresh perspective on the familiar experience, through the eyes of its unforgettable protagonist.” –

Pulp Fiction (1994)

4/4
“It's one of those rarefied cinematic achievements, along with Schindler's List and GoodFellas, that will show up on those inevitable best of the decade lists in a few years. But it's also more accessible and entertaining than either of those films.” –

“While the men of GoodFellas have chosen their destiny, the slow descent of Karen into an emotionally battered, cocaine-addicted wife is the film's most absorbing subplot, as well as its most powerful performance.” –

“There's great potential in this part for Ford, and a strong foundation has been set for further adventures and subplots with his family. But subsequent updates of Clancy's Ryan saga are going to have to remain closer to the author's level of complexity.” –
