Review of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

this first half is essentially throat-clearing before the operatic finale. The pacing seems abrupt and rapid…

Review of The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The movie is undeniably colorful and action-packed, and gorier than a slaughterhouse floor. But something's missing…

Review of The Possession (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The movie is well-appointed if not terribly well thought-out…

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The movie wasn't giving my brain much of a workout, but my eyes got a nice buzz. Prometheus is straight-up gorgeous…

Review of Skyfall (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Skyfall isn't quite a throwback to the absurd thrills of the 007 films of old, but it does inject some fun back into the franchise…

Review of 2016: Obama's America (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

2016: Obama's America comes to seem like clownish alarmist speculation taking place in an echo chamber of talking heads…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

I go to a Spider-Man movie to see the guy duke it out with powerful bad guys. I'm simple that way. I don't need a welter of convolutions…

Review of Hitchcock (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The Ed Gein bits seem like pretentious filler, and a lot of Hitchcock feels padded, though it's only 98 minutes…

Review of Dark Shadows (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

It turns into a bit of a mess towards the finish line, but at least it's a fun mess, and if you're looking to Tim Burton for narrative tidiness…

Review of Total Recall (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Wiseman makes mildly pretty films, full of blues and grays and lens flares, but they're the definition of bland…

Review of Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Dear god, is this thing setting us up for a sequel in which Kristen Stewart has to negotiate yet another love triangle…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Technically, The Dark Knight Rises is a thick leatherbound volume with gilded pages, though flipping through it yields a story about a big…

Review of Spider-Man (1977)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

I go to a Spider-Man movie to see the guy duke it out with powerful bad guys. I'm simple that way. I don't need a welter of convolutions…

Review of Looper (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The movie is morally murky, to put it lightly, and that's a bit refreshing; we're made to think about why we want the protagonists to achieve…

Review of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

It's been a sappy and largely uneventful ride, and I welcome The Hunger Games taking its place in girls' hearts, but let's not pretend there…

Review of Cloud Atlas (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Cloud Atlas is never boring; I checked the time at one point, saw that we had about an hour to go, and settled back, relaxed and happy to get more…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

Disney should've had more faith in this premise back in 1984, when it mattered, instead of shocking it back to a bigger life now…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

In the summer of big, expensive superhero flicks, Moonrise Kingdom evokes awe, wonder and the magic of escapism in a much smaller and more…

Review of Men in Black 3 (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Dec 2012

The hip, knowing backdrop of these films - their winking acknowledgment that what you suspect about aliens is true - is more interesting than…

Review of Ted (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 01 Jul 2012

MacFarlane, whose Ted sounds a lot like Peter Griffin on his show Family Guy, also co-wrote and directed Ted, so expect a lot of pop-culture…
