Breathtaking, balletic action... but everything else is utter gibberish, seemingly treating you with contempt.

The Green Hornet <= 15 Words
Some films are exactly the sum of their parts. This is one of those times.

X-Men First Class <= 15 Words
A decent story, but lacks coherence and subtlety, plus is kind of a B movie.

Fast Five <= 15 Words
The Fast and the Furious + Ocean's Eleven + Predator (* The Rock!) = Fast Five

Sucker Punch <= 15 Words
Doesn't hide the seems so well... and it's very style over substance... but what style!

Tron Legacy <= 15 Words
Trailers raised expectations, reviews lowered them significantly. The film itself: good, but not great.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest <= 15 Words
Worse than the first, better than the second. If you haven't: read the books first.

London Boulevard <= 15 Words
Monahan's raw talent without Scorsese's finess. The Departed, it's not. Worth your time, it is.

Let Me In <= 15 Words
No subtitles, more CG, but otherwise, well, I kept expecting people to start speaking Swedish.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole <= 15 Words
A brilliant film for kids featuring non anthropomorphized owls... and Snyder still manages spectacular action.

The Social Network <= 15 Words
No Rosebud, but still fascinating. The script's the star, but the camera gets its moment.

Cemetery Junction <= 15 Words
It's not a comedy exactly, but it is funny, and very cleverly written.

Hot Tub Time Machine <= 15 Words
It's not a terrible film, but if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the jokes.

She's Out of My League <= 15 Words
Sort of like "Knocked Up," only I think I enjoyed it more. Also: more believable.

Pandaemonium <= 15 Words
Good enough to be disappointing when Brookmyre falls back on one of his usual agendas.
