| Review Blurb | Film |
|---|
| 'Like one of those fake-smart, middlebrow TV shows, the speciousness of [Title] is disguised by topicality. It's really a movie excusing Hollywood ruthlessness.' | |
| 'If critics and fanboys weren't suckers for simplistic nihilism and high-pressure marketing, It would be universally acclaimed as a visionary feat, superior to Inception and Avatar | |
| 'Like Grand Theft Auto's quasi-cinematic extension of noir and action-flick plots, [Title] manipulates the digital audience's delectation for relentless subterfuge.' | |
| 'Most critics will love its Sundance formula because it flatters their sense of being liberal and progressive by making controversial issues comfortable.' | |
| 'It reexamines assumptions of good and evil-morality tale vs, trite entertainment-by confronting the hideous compromises people make with social conventions...' | |
| 'so besotted with brand names and product-placement that it stops being about the innocent pleasures of imagination -- the usefulness of toys -- and strictly celebrates consumerism | |
| 'The Smiths aim for bigger box-office numbers by offering a secondhand fantasy that replaces academic hard work with the superficial amusement of martial arts self-defense.' | |
| '[Title] is exactly what critics and audiences deserve following the celebration of that awful, dung-hued first film.' | |
| 'Cyrus' acting ability makes Veronica's emotional make-over work.' | |
| 'Not since The Birth of a Nation has a mainstream movie demeaned the idea of black American life as much as [Title].' | |

| 'The plot's a cynical/sentimental rip-off of Flaubert's novel Sentimental Education, yet full of commercial calculation.' | |
| 'It is so annoyingly cute about the smartness of middle-class young white people in love that one quickly realizes it is only about that -- not love nor passion...' | |
| '[Title] is more proof [Bay] has a great eye for scale and a gift for visceral amazement. | |
| 'Why would anyone want to make -- or watch -- this Hillcoat/McCarthy desolation except to feel fashionably cynical?' | |
| 'Its hypocrisy is hidden inside a disingenuous promotional campaign that suggests change has come to Disney's animated white house.' | |
| 'The corniest movie ever made about the white man's need to lose his identity and assuage racial, political, sexual and historical guilt.' | |
| 'QT manipulates WWII horror into hip pornography -- Jewish revenge looks just like the sadism in Eli Roth's Hostel movie. Our political and moral responses are discombobulated.' | |
| 'Its appeal to the pop-commercial synapses also demonstrates livelier filmmaking than such utter banality as Iron Man and Star Trek and Harry Potter's Half-Blooded Chintz.' | |
| 'Forget the Oscar bait, [Title] 3 is the only movie you need to see this season.' | |
| 'The generation of consumers who swallow this pessimistic sentiment can't see past the product to its debased morality.' | |
