Rating	T-Meter	Title \| « Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten 3/5	Rotten 44%	Planet of the Apes (2001)	" A lightweight, slight movie which only looks savagely convincing." Posted Aug 6, 2001
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 40%	Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)	" The kind of film that children may find amusing but their parents will wish that they didn't." Posted Jul 23, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 38%	Scream 3 (2000)	" *While Scream 3* is only an above-average film in its own right, as the conclusion to the trilogy it works more effectively than anyone had a right to expect.**" Posted May 29, 2001
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 49%	Mars Attacks! (1996)	" Mars Attacks! wants to be the Dr Strangelove of alien B-movies, but isn't up to the challenge. Instead it's a paceless, overlong, and campy film partly redeemed by a number of hilarious and gruesome alien invasion skits." Posted Jun 27, 2001
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 45%	Star Trek: Generations (1994)	" The plot holes are obvious and disconcerting, the sub-plots feel tacked-on, and the characters are both thinly-drawn and badly-played." Posted Sep 10, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 73%	The Living Daylights (1987)	" A pure back-to-basics action-adventure spy drama which mostly delivers." Posted Sep 11, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 87%	Superman II (1980)	" Substantial credit should also go to Terence Stamp's casually menacing General Zod, who transcends his terrible costume and make-up to appear a convincing threat." Posted Sep 26, 2001
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 97%	The Empire Strikes Back (1980)	" *By far the best part of the trilogy, Empire* is a classic that completely transcends its genre, with a reputation that can only grow and grow.**" Posted Aug 1, 2001
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 38%	Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)	" *The Planet of the Apes* series started well, and gradually decreased in budget and quality. By Battle the budget is all but gone, and all the believability and excitement has gone with it.**" Posted Jun 19, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 44%	Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)	" If you are ready to thrill to the fall of civilisation (for the third time in this series), then there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. Just don't expect much humour." Posted Jun 13, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 78%	Escape From the Planet of the Apes (1971)	" It works fairly well as the central movie of the franchise but will have little to offer non-devotees." Posted Jun 13, 2001
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 48%	Ocean's Eleven (1960)	" There are just too many main characters for any of them to develop any depth, too many shots of casino signs sparkling in the night, and too little pace and plot to pull the whole thing together." Posted Nov 12, 2001
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	On the Waterfront (1954)	" Retains the freshness of an original -- exploring the difficulties and corruptions of working stiffs with a realism, sensitivity and intelligence that has seldom been matched since." Posted May 23, 2001
