Wreck-it Ralph Movie Review
Disney's found a lot to play with here, but you may find yourself itching to take the controls. Guy Lodge-Time Out You'll either love it or you'll admire it, while wishing it would calm down and, I don't know, maybe pick up a book for a while. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune It's a cool game, to be sure, but watching someone else play it gets old after a while. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine For anyone with a grade-schooler and a free Saturday, it's a pretty safe and painless bet. And a great excuse to go up to the attic later and see if you can dig out your old Atari 2600. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Unlike the Pixar films toward which it aspires-which marry sophisticated conceits to straightforward storylines-Wreck-It Ralph consistently gets lost in its own intricate plot mechanics. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic 'Wreck-it Ralph' is a serious contender for the title of best animated film of the year. James Rocchi-MSN Movies An excellent, inventive, anti-bullying adventure that may be a little too technologically advanced for older audiences. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Wreck-It Ralph is a highly original and exciting film that puts Disney Animation right up there with Pixar in terms of providing a story full of emotion, heart and energy. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered A brilliant concept in search of a movie. Starts off really strong with sly humor and wit that devolves into cheap kiddie jokes. Blu-ray 3D looks great on a home theater, but the package is very thin on extras. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine I'm bitter that this funny, exciting tribute to old-school gaming was robbed of a best animated Oscar by Pixar's forgettable Brave. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com Disney's desperate and wrong-headed riff on Toy Story gets an expectedly excellent A/V transfer on Blu-ray with a bundle of extras that offer a few bonus points. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine Hyperactive day-glo fizzy-pop family animation with a heartfelt message about staying true to yourself lurking underneath all the visual fireworks. Catherine Bray-Film4 Once again Disney has created an immersive world that's rich with detail, populated by characters who have problems humans can identify with and characteristics that make them likable. "Wreck-It Ralph" is a winner. James Plath-Movie Metropolis A very clever, delightfully funny and visually stunning Disney film. And yet we end up watching it having already seen its potential to be something much more enticing. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk The prospect of inevitable sequels is more than bearable. Donald Clarke-Irish Times For some, Ralph's spell in Sugar Rush's candy-coloured world may induce hyperglycaemia... but hard-core gamers will have a blast picking up all the gaming in-jokes and references that fly over everyone else's heads. Jason Best-Movie Talk Just like the camera gave us the heads of Frankenstein and Hellboy, so we always get Ralph's giant hands first here. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail It's a little frantic at times but great fun, clever and well-crafted. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express A colourfully cute romp for kids. Alan Jones-Radio Times The film is nicely animated but confusing enough to be almost impenetrable at times. Derek Malcolm-This is London Warm, witty, wacky and wonderful, Wreck-It Ralph deserves to stand alongside the best of Disney, while also feeling like it wouldn't be out of place at Pixar's table. James White-SFX Magazine Visually ambitious and packed with inside jokes for arcade gamers, this colourful animated adventure is an enjoyable romp but is probably too energetic for its own good. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com This is a hugely enjoyable entry in the Walt Disney Animation Studios catalogue. It sits well alongside the likes of Tangled, balancing both anarchic humour and classic Disney sentimentality very well. Alex Zane-Sun Online Wreck-It Ralph is witty, ingenious and entertaining, a technical and creative breakthrough on a par with Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, 25 years ago. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] I found the idea of teens laying down their coins to play arcade games in this present day a strange, semi-intentional archaism - nostalgic wish-fulfilment on the part of the middle-aged people creating the movie. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] It's a CGI time-machine for those who misspent their youth developing RSIs on bleeping 8-bit arcade consoles. Jamie Dunn-The Skinny

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Movie Review
A feast of ripe dialogue and bloodsucking action. Bruce Diones-New Yorker The fifth and final entry in the historically successful "Twilight" franchise is the most self-aware and in some ways the most entertaining. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com If anything, this series has gotten dumber and more inert as it has progressed, with this last one finally reaching over into an extended wallow in camp. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine I'll probably never understand the popularity of the Twilight movies. They're haphazardly assembled adaptations of awful books. James Berardinelli-ReelViews You're going to hear a lot about Breaking Dawn Part 2 being the best of the Twilight movies. That's like saying a simple head cold is preferable to swine flu. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone The 'Twilight Saga' has no upmarket aspirations. Seeking neither critical applause or peer-review awards, these movies, like those of Tyler Perry, seek only to provide unabashed satisfaction to those who believe in their characters. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Breaking Dawn - Part Two is an efficient, rewarding finale for the loyalists, and really isn't bad enough to bother the rest of us. Dave Golder-SFX Magazine In "The Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn, Part 2," Bella gets a much-needed fire in her belly. Her wimpy former self is suddenly a badass. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers I may not be a doctor but believe me there is no way that Stewart and Pattinson would ever produce a baby this ugly. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes The Twilight series comes to a close with this uneven yet satisfying finale that effectively wraps up the saga of these vivid, almost iconic characters... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews Robert Pattinson talks about the End of Being Edward. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service 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 haven't been far worse film series. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com I rolled my eyes, laughed at, and laughed with this film. I was entertained. It's a sloppy enjoyable mess, and the most fun I had watching a 'Twilight' movie. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review Taylor Lautner's abs. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters Hopelessly dumb and often unintentionally funny. As with everything about this nutty series, I couldn't shake the feeling that Stephenie Meyer's creation is just kooky in all the wrong ways. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat if you haven't seen any of them - why not see this one? It's crazy fun for less than two hours ... It's all very tonally specific, and the tone is bonkers. But it's so intriguing, and everyone looks so good ... the guiltiest pleasure of the year. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) In one of Stephenie Meyer's weirder conceits, Jacob 'imprints' on Bella's daughter: This may be the most awkward way to resolve a love triangle since Luke discovered Leia was his sister. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Condon, the cast, and the crew of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 have made something they can be proud of. Tracie Cooper-TV Guide's Movie Guide "Breaking Dawn Part 2" offers readers and moviegoers the ending they hoped for. Only problem is most will be asking for more and wishing it was not the final chapter. Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum If only the other films in the series featured such surprises (as in this film's climactic battle) instead of being so by-the-numbers in adaptation and crafting, the saga might have proven more significant. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest This franchise ends with a fitting finale that neither proves the series worth, nor does it disappoint the faithful. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) The big payoff to the Twilight saga is a solidly mounted, carefully directed exercise in franchise box-ticking... Even the decapitations are done tastefully. Jim Schembri-3AW Haters will hate, Twi-hards will love hard and the objective viewer will find another flawed spectacle which, while not as without merit as some would argue, is still easy to pick apart. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor I'm afraid there will be more of these, since these particular kinds of films provide a way for studios to make tons of money using very little effort or creative resources. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope The perfect ending of the series for those who are fans of the books, but for the rest it is a little overdone and confusing. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com

Rise of the Guardians Movie Review
Less-than-compelling storyline. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Rise of the Guardians is harmless enough, and the lack of easy pop-culture jokes represents the post-Shrek direction of DreamWorks well enough. But this is the studio's least entertaining film. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune The conceit has its charms but too much of this movie, directed by Peter Ramsey, is more clamorous than inspired, and little kids might find parts of it too scarily intense. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor 'Rise of the Guardians' is an effervescent dose of fantasia that's pretty hard to dislike. Unless, of course, you're a cynical grump. Derek Adams-Time Out The script seems to have been written by committee, with members lobbying for each major character, and the action, set in vast environments all over the map, spreads itself so thin that a surfeit of motion vitiates emotion. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal Too cluttered and manic to bring real pleasure. Stephanie Zacharek-NPR There's plenty to enjoy here, with the witty back and forth between our heroes rarely lost amidst the CG-crafted spectacle that whizzes across rooftops and dives into burrows. James White-SFX Magazine A beautiful fantasy adventure that might change a few minds about the power and importance of these childhood fantasy characters. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight A weirdly dark but not-bad-for-a-kiddie-flick action romp. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com DreamWorks' newest picture is definitely one for the kids, but director Peter Ramsey makes it fun enough to put a smile on parents' faces. Nour Habib-Tulsa World An entertaining experience, whether you see it in 3-D or 2-D, 'Rise of the Guardians' is an enjoyable adventure for all ages. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) The animation's usually a visual delight. There's enough visual spark and inventiveness to make this animated adventure rise above the Christmas crowd of flicks. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) Alas, a sweet heart and a tender message aren't enough to save Rise of the Guardians from its overly sugary ways. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt Rise of the Guardians delivers a giddy, kinetic excitement as its heroes whoosh and swoop through the air, or glide and skitter on ice. Jason Best-Movie Talk In one of the best, brightest, most beautifully realised and visually sumptuous tentpole animation films of the year...an absolute joy to behold, as lovingly made a piece of corporate entertainment as you're likely to find at the multiplex. Jim Schembri-3AW One of the best surprises of 2012. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Delivers an entertaining twist on the fabricated mascots that kids will enjoy. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz From the wind rustling through Jack Frost's white hair to the panoramic vistas as they fly through the sky, it all looks amazing. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Whatever its agenda might (or might not) be, Rise of the Guardians is a surprisingly rousing tale with a story that resonates easily, if not deeply. Tim Martain-The Mercury Rise of the Guardians is both reasonably quirky and mildly serious. It wants children to believe there's more to animation than fast food tie-ins. Craig Mathieson-The Sunday Age This lovely fantasy has been brought to beautiful 3D life by Peter Ramsey, the visual effects are really something. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) The villain begins by kidnapping Tooth's worker fairies: it's never clear how she's so human-sized and they're all fairy-sized and have no voices, or how they're the workers and she's management. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters More exhausting than exciting, but there are enough amusing gags to prevent on-the-fence viewers -- and critics -- from going full Scrooge on the final product. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Youngsters will enjoy the diversion with the film's cute characters and creative visuals although there is a frenetic feel about the action that tends to overwhelm the story on an emotional level. As a result, there is little heart that resonates Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile While the concept is novel - and the animation often dazzling - the story and characterisations soon prove trite, condescending and dull. Tom Clift-Moviedex An unusual 3D tale about a playful free spirit who is thrilled to become a Guardian who watches over children. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

Here Comes the Boom Movie Review
Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud. Stephanie Zacharek-Film.com It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ... Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward? Frank Lovece-Newsday "Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichés from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale. Adam Graham-Detroit News Basically, what you get with "Here Comes the Boom" is a completely unbelievable story that is based on a foundation that doesn't contain the least bit of originality. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's a wonder that the insultingly awful story is somehow watchable. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A lightweight action-comedy that only tries to entertain, but at least it meets that modest goal. And it knocks out lighter weight comedies like The School of Rock. James Plath-Movie Metropolis The highly likeable Kevin James headlines a highly likeable school/sports comedy lark in which he again plays a lovable oaf. Jim Schembri-3AW The 'Mr. Holland's Opus' meets 'Rocky II' story will satisfy some who long for innocuous content, even those who know James deserves better material. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) An average made-for-TV-type movie that makes its way onto the big screen, 'Here Comes the Boom' doesn't pack much of a punch. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Now, then. When is Stallone going to start playing a head teacher? Maybe the switch would work the other way... Graham Young-Birmingham Mail 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down. Ken McIntyre-Total Film Merely the kind of film that once it's on DVD will end up as necessarily mindless fodder for bench-pressing numbskulls to watch in a gym. Graham Young-Birmingham Post The film aims to be simultaneously a coarse sentimental little-guy comedy, a tale of embracing the American dream, and an increasingly serious underdog fight movie on the lines of Rocky. It fails on all three counts. Philip French-Observer [UK] Couldn't Kevin have raised the money by selling hard drugs or trafficking underage women? The closing scenes would, under those circumstances, have seemed only marginally less peculiar. Donald Clarke-Irish Times There's nothing here that you haven't seen a dozen times before and done much better. Alex Zane-Sun Online I went in with rock-bottom expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. It isn't completely awful. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci retains an endearing fondness for funny-faced bit-parts, but it's fundamentally formulaic in construction and mediocre in execution. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] A fantasia of hackneyed conceits about education ... Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Every now and again a film comes along that could play as a parody of itself with minimal alteration, and 90 per cent of them seem to have some kind of connection to Adam Sandler. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Daft but hard to dislike ... Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to strong comic performances, likeable characters and direction that gets the tone exactly right. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Unfortunately, the comedy is strictly from the undercard. Tim Evans-Sky Movies As an undemanding time-passer, Here Comes The Boom just about goes the distance. Eddie Harrison-The List

Anna Karenina Movie Review
It's a half-success -- a baldly conceptual response to the Leo Tolstoy novel, with a heavy theatrical framework placed around the narrative of girl meets boy, followed by girl meets train. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune In this adaptation, director Joe Wright, plus screenwriter Tom Stoppard, are determined to tame the untameable. And they do. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail "Anna Karenina," lush as it is, fails to strike a fully human chord. Tom Long-Detroit News The very picture of noble failure, it's a bright red heart without a beat. Peter Howell-Toronto Star The metaphorical force of this conceit-insisting on the artifice of the social world that frowns on rapture-is not hard to grasp, but its frailty unsettles some of the actors. Anthony Lane-New Yorker Thank goodness for Domhnall Gleeson's gentle turn as Oblonsky's friend Levin. The ginger-haired landowner is the movie's warmest figure. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film does not do even minimal justice to the themes informing the tragedy. Dan Jardine-Cinemania A whirlwind affair composed of dazzling set pieces and a driving narrative. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Tolstoy's novel rendered in exquisite Faberge egg form. Catherine Bray-Film4 While there are suitably glorious elements, there's also a frankly bizarre and much-debated aspect added by playwright Tom Stoppard, so that the whole thing is full of 'Brechtian Alienation Devices' and narrative-splintering tricks. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up It's easy to conclude that this Anna Karenina is a superficial portrait of a superficial society, but that would be to dismiss how emotionally powerful it is in key moments. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground There have been countless film and tv versions of Russian author Leo Tolstoy's classic high society love story. But none have been captured so beautifully and boldly as this Anna Karenina. Brian Henry Martin-UTV a visually unique story world, bold and beautiful, and dramatically fused with passion. Yet it's also a limited space that remains prisoner to its self-conscious theatrical structures. Simon Weaving-Screenwize The meandering Russian tale of forbidden aristocratic love - Knightley's character spurns her stiff, high-ranking husband, played by Jude Law for military man Aaron Taylor-Johnson - fails to ignite. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A sumptuous cinematic feast! Kam Williams-NewsBlaze Leo Tolstoy's classic tale of doomed romance and the emotionally stifling lives of Russian aristocrats gets an ornate, inert reworking...the congested setting makes much of the film look like a blur of costumes and set dressing. Jim Schembri-3AW Between the screenplay by playwright Tom Stoppard and the direction of Joe Wright, Anna Karenina is a stylistically fascinating film. Tim Martain-The Mercury Trying to one-up Tolstoy was always going to be a bad idea, though I wouldn't object to seeing a Bond movie, or Les Miserables, staged in the same way. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) Joe Wright uses the theatre and has the actors taking part in a stage production which then moves out into the real world. I think that's done beautifully. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Well, Joe Wright has done it. His ANNA KARENINA is a triumph. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Wright's staged version tries desperately to gain one's attention (which it does) and engage one's affection (which it doesn't). Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald Wright's edgy, bravura approach actually enhances the moral themes and the social context, illuminating the story in a fresh, contemporary light. This is cinema Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Wright's vision in re-imagining this classic tale is conceptually brilliant, with a perpetual sense of motion... a visual and emotional statement Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Like its central character, this is beautiful and brave even if it fails to fully realise its potential. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Anna Karenina plays like the ultimate CliffsNotes, which is both testament to Stoppard's exceptional adaptation and abridgement of Tolstoy's novel and acknowledgment of the film's somewhat superficial center. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Knightley has a rare gift for making viewers willing to follow her characters even as they make catastrophically stupid decisions. Dan Lybarger-KC Active
