Broadbent, Jim

• Avengers, The (1998)

  [3/10]

  "The story line limps along and no amount of explosions or fight scenes can save us from the compounding ennui."

• Chronicles of Narnia, The: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)

  [8/10]

  "On the whole, Adamson has faithfully captured the essence of Lewis's book and given a movie audience the adventure story it expects."

• Hot Fuzz (2007)

  [7/10]

  "I didn't find Hot Fuzz as riotously funny as Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz has much more subtle humor, mostly irony created by the totally metropolitan Angel trying to fit in to a small town lifestyle. But Hot Fuzz has a much more intelligent plot than Shaun of the Dead."

• Time Bandits (1981)

  [7/10]

  "A blow-by-blow description of Time Bandits doesn't do it justice. Director Gilliam has infused every scene with subtle humor, blatant slapstick, and cosmic justice."

  Average score: 6.25
