How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) 50% EDIT “It's sweet enough for the very young, edgy enough for teens, and world/pop culture savvy enough for adults.” – IGN Movies Nov 6, 2019 Full Review The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) 82% EDIT “[The Original Kings of Comedy] may be a little edgy, and sometimes even a little embarrassing. But it tells it like it is, and there's something damn refreshing about that.” – IGN Movies Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% 4/10 EDIT “All in all, no one gets anything to do here. Why cast Oscar-nominated performers if you aren't going to let them act? For status only?” – IGN Movies Nov 16, 2015 Full Review Finding Nemo (2003) 99% EDIT “Finding Nemo is ultimately a rewarding, engaging, compelling, and even spiritual adventure that works charismatically on multiple levels.” – IGN Movies Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Chicago (2002) 87% EDIT “In both concept and execution, Chicago is the real thing, and may someday be remembered with the very best of its genre.” – IGN Movies Feb 25, 2015 Full Review Chicken Run (2000) 97% EDIT “The film is brilliantly voiced across the board, with special notice to Mel Gibson as Rocky and Julia Sawalha as Ginger.” – IGN Movies Aug 24, 2014 Full Review I Dreamed of Africa (2000) 10% EDIT “I Dreamed of Africa is, quite simply, one of the worst mainstream movies ever made.” – IGN Movies Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Bless the Child (2000) 4% EDIT “A sloppy, silly, and sometimes ludicrous movie perpetually haunted by the specter of what it could have been.” – IGN Movies Jul 22, 2014 Full Review The Rookie (2002) 84% EDIT “Refreshing and compelling.” – IGN Movies May 12, 2014 Full Review The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) 81% EDIT “The Royal Tenenbaums tries to be many things, but isn't any one thing forcefully enough to carry much weight or significance.” – IGN Movies Mar 4, 2014 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Revenge of the Sith is not the "masterpiece" some make it out to be. It is, simply, a far more worthy installment than we've recently been fed.” – IGN Movies May 11, 2005 Full Review Racing Stripes (2005) 35% 3/5 EDIT “A sweet, heartfelt, and sometimes clever film whose reticence to maintain a consistent tone automatically condemns it to life as a scattershot novelty.” – IGN Movies Jan 15, 2005 Full Review Meet the Fockers (2004) 38% 3.5/5 EDIT “MtF works rather well – although it sometimes lacks the smoothness of its predecessor.” – IGN Movies Dec 21, 2004 Full Review Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film struggles to mimic the simple, sublime truths which make Daniel Handler's books so appealingly vibrant.” – IGN Movies Dec 16, 2004 Full Review Alexander (2004) 15% 2/5 EDIT “Consistently undisciplined and frustratingly unfocused.” – IGN Movies Nov 24, 2004 Full Review Christmas With the Kranks (2004) 5% 1.5/5 EDIT “Shockingly aloof, and often dispassionately alienating.” – IGN Movies Nov 24, 2004 Full Review Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) 71% 5/5 EDIT “If you love movies, enjoy adventure, and cherish beauty: see Sky Captain.” – IGN Movies Sep 16, 2004 Full Review Van Helsing (2004) 24% 1/5 EDIT “Vampires aren't the only things that suck in this movie...” – IGN Movies May 6, 2004 Full Review Man on Fire (2004) 39% 4/5 EDIT “Rampant with religious symbolism, and fueled by ... vigilante subtext, audiences will be hard-pressed to find another film this year which pushes any of the same hot buttons.” – IGN Movies Apr 23, 2004 Full Review Starsky & Hutch (2004) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “All things being equal, Starsky and Hutch still manages to be an enjoyable ride, even though it lacks the energy, urgency, and consistency needed to make it great.” – IGN Movies Mar 5, 2004 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% 9/10 EDIT “Earnest performances from all leads, combined with Jackson's uncompromising direction, makes Return of the King one of the most visceral theatrical experiences of all time. Its emotions are unchecked. ” – IGN Movies Jan 19, 2004 Full Review Torque (2004) 22% 2.5/5 EDIT “As sleazy as they come. And, much like the person we continue to date even though we know we shouldn't, it's kinda hard not to feel a little affection for it.” – IGN Movies Jan 19, 2004 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% EDIT “There's a certain majesty to Fellowship of the Ring, but it's not the majesty of stylish photography or elegant production design. It's a majesty that can only be put on-screen by filmmakers who truly feel the material with which they are working.” – IGN Movies Aug 14, 2002 Full Review
