Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985)
61%
EDIT
“Most kids age 4 and up will find something of value in this tale of friendship and right and wrong. But you'd think a credible plot was as important as morality, and this shallow excursion just doesn't have one.” –

Mission: Impossible (1996)

How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
92%
3/5
EDIT
“In the bigger is better world of Hollywood sequels, How to Train Your Dragon 2 comes up short. It lacks the novelty of the original and tries too hard to be "about" something more than fun.” –

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
59%
B+
EDIT
“A popcorn movie that delivers precisely what it promises. The dialogue is tepid and the outcome is preordained, but it moves at the brisk pace of a carnival ride, leaving you breathless and ready for another spin.” –

B+
EDIT
“Transformers is the comic-book movie on steroids, a fusion of sound and fury and sci-fi plotting that leaves plenty of room for a franchise.” –

EDIT
“Credit "Final Destination" with an effectiveness usually missing from the genre. Intelligent horror makes you think, this one settles for making you flinch.” –
