Great performances steer this film towards the upper end of the rating scale, however the heavy-handedness of the storytelling brings it down a notch or two. It's certainly worth watching but it stops too far short of being life changing to really work in the realm it tries to position itself.

What could be good is watered down and drawn out. Try a scotch straight up next time Mr Reitman. She not only looks good, you will also savour it.

oh my, what a travesty. Terrible directing, worse VFX (think What Dreams May Come), location rip offs from Lord of the Rings, no heart, no soul... an awful attempt at adapting the story to screen. And it cost $100M? Whoops.

Absolutely appeals to the inner child in every adult and the adult inside a more sophisticated child. It's about time childrens' film made a mature comeback.

Elements of stupidity kill the good bits. Basic boy scout training is elusive to the father and son on the road/trying quite badly to avoid the road. Kodi Smit-McPhee is too old to get away with playing his character who seems to have a mental age of 5. Production design and cinematography are lovely but The Road just doesn't work. Not even the Nick Cave & Warren Ellis soundtrack saves it.

Effects lack classy compositing and the direction overplays what could have been a highly entertaining romp. The Zimmer score decimates the action in particular. The script did however seem rather clever and the cast are incredibly watchable. Shame that Ritchie couldn't let the story breath at all.

Looks great in 3D but is overly bombastic. It also borrows too much from, say, Princess Mononoke, Fern Gully and various other films I saw growing up. It's also a lot like The Abyss, which frankly is a bit of a slap in the face if Cameron thinks it's ok to recycle his own work from 20 years ago and sell it as new.

What a brilliant allegory!

Cut it in half and then you have something.

Characterture and stunted narrative - oh look, it's John Lennon as a boy on a bus - dominate this film that looks great but goes nowhere. Guess the title should have indicated... but Kristin Scott Thomas is wonderful.

Starts great, then ruins it all at the end. Why?

Nice contained picture with references to its peers but not too similar to be cringe-worthy. Well acted - although on this level overall, Red Dwarf makes a better use of its resources and storyline.

Why is this here... There is no signature on this piece. It is also poorly directed - the choice to have so many close ups highlights the lead actors' limitations - making it a frustrating watch. The vfx could have done with much cleaner compositing and where were the shadows (ie great 3D bad 2D)? It could have been edited down so much too. Yawn.

Magical storytelling from animation's master. He questions humanity, environment, aging, love and values while at the same time being so incredibly cute.

There's nothing really wrong with this film, but there's nothing compelling either.

It's a highly entertaining and well made Hollywood film - not sure there was anything auteur-like in it however.

A fascinating insight to the inner workings of a fashion icon (being Vogue) and the way that working relationships are forged and personal relationships are set aside.

This film looks so bad that it distracted from everything - which may have been a good thing but ultimately makes this film an uninspired experience.

Not sure what the filmmaker wanted the audience to take from this film.

Soppy as hell and well crafted but lacking in nuance.

Fun and flippant and one of the better examples of straight up comedy of late. Perfect when you have a hangover!

An eminently fascinating look at a relationship from an almost voyeuristic perspective. In some ways the film felt like an exploration of psychology.

This meta-telling treatise on loss, grief and identity is, like most Almodovar outings, pretty to look at, and yet while there is sanctuary promised, the promised land is not found by the film's conclusion.

Fascinating beyond the effort to confront. Told from the perspective and children and subsequently their mothers, Blessed is curious, extreme and well worth watching.

If we tell them it is cool thus it shall be. Well not in this case. Style does not work over substance in this extended trailer.

Well told, well acted, well received. Shaky and sneaky camera suits the story of the five Australian journalists killed in East Timor during the invasion by Indonesia. You can feel the stifling heat of the locations in this thrilling adventure in history.

All of the characters have appeared before, and here, altogether they surprisingly remain watchable in this popcorn outing. The rest is hazy.

Cute but boring. The dance sequence is a winner, along with showing off downtown LA in a good light, but the rest is ho hum. Geeky boy gets cute indie girl who is too good for him because she's too pretty/cool/nothing to do with smarts for him. Indie boys will love it for the soundtrack, Zooey Deschanel and because the characters are probably like people they know - but probably not very well.

An accomplished and thoughtful film set in a time of excess, uncertainty and an extreme focus on the self - much like today. A solid allegory, and elements of mysticism make this accessible drama a solid feather in the Kelly cap.

Puerile symbolism meets self-indulgent misogynistic wank with a heavy dose of ultra violence. Don't go see it unless you are prepared to watch horrendous things. Please Mr Trier, come up with a different theme. Yawn.
