Critical Consensus: Critics Pan "Emily Rose," "The Man"
Summary
This week at the movies features two of our favorite story elements: demonic possession ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose") and fish-out-of-water-cop-buddy-action stuff ("The Man"). Will the critics see the light, or is it off to the slammer for these two? Back to Article

on Sep 08 2005 08:08 PM [b]i don;t think a pan qualifies for emily rose[/b] When the tomatometer is at 51% i really don't think the film qualifies as being panned. 51% sounds like the critics are split about even to me. Some of the reviews seemed quite good for the film so panning is the not the word I would use. I think a panning would be 30% or lower. And yes i know when this article was written it was around 48% but that is still closer to 50. The Man looks awful by the way and I hope it bombs. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 08 2005 11:44 PM [b]Jackson the ironic[/b] I think it is somewhat ironic that Samuel Jackson did not want to participate in a movie with 50 Cent (Get Rich or Die Tryin) because he felt like 50 Cent wasn't worth sharing the screen with him. But he finds no fault in starring in flawed and pointless movies like this. I mean come'on Jackson, at least 50 Cent has the intelligence to star in a role that will be directed by a quality director such as Jim Sheridan. Jackson needs to reevaluate his place in Hollywood and realize that he can't just show up and a move make money. I'd put my money that Get Rich will be the movie to see while "The Man" will be shortly forgotten. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 12 2005 05:27 AM [b]I have just seen[/b] The 40 Year Old Virgin. I was on vacation and feeling whimsical :-) and with this being the Best reviewed movie of the year (maybe it will be as good or better than Theres Something About Mary)--lets take a chance. I was Underwhelmed to say the least. A boring but nice 40 year old and his 3 immature friends. Movies must really suck --or the critics just got tired of panning everything (Reply to this) |
