Little Big Man (1970)
91%
“During that early part of the film Little Big Man is a raucously funny work as bit by irreverent bit it deflates the western legend as expounded in hundreds of western movies.” –

“The dramatic scenes don't play well, and the action sequences are treated like set pieces, dropped in every now and then when the mood strikes.” –

Aliens (1986)

3/4
“Just when you think the movie is over, Cameron comes back with another piece of action more daring than the last. While Aliens has more than its share of special effects, the heart of the film's success is its intense, unrelenting and spectacular action.” –

“Director Carl Reiner, a veteran of television comedy and movies as well as being a performer, is an old hand at milking a script for laughs. With this one, he must have really squeezed.” –

“Pirates is long and dull. Even the background music is tepid. And there's nothing Matthau can do to save the movie.” –

“Altman sometimes gets close to the split-second timing that is required to make farce work well. But close in a farce is not good enough.” –

Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985)

2/4
“Police Academy 2 won't win any awards and its humor is pure slapstick. Like most of the number sequels, this is a pale imitation of the first.” –

“The movie preaches the positive power of friendship. And if it succeeds at the box office, it will prove the positive power of commercial tie-ins.” –

Over the Top (1987)
32%
1/4
“The arm-wrestling championship eats up about a third of the movie, which is a lot of grunting, snarling and perspiring. All things being relative, this beats what passes for drama in the rest of the movie.” –

“Mystery-starved audiences may find some of this diverting, about the first half of it anyway. But the movie achieves a sort of plateau and never moves from it.” –

The Steagle (1971)
