• Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)

  [4/10]

  "The film tries to do to much in the short running time. Just resolving any one of the four major plot problems could have occupied the entire space of the film, and the resolutions we do get leave too many unanswered questions."

• Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

  [7/10]

  "I have seen TPM three times and have liked it better each time, in spite of the problems I had with Lucas's execution of the plot. Lucas truly has a unique vision and talent for creating fun, visually pleasing movies that one rarely tires of seeing."

• V for Vendetta (2006)

  [8/10]

  "The twisting and engaging story line more than makes up for the 'comic book' characters, and director JamesMcTeigue displays an excellent balance of mystery, suspense, and violence."

  Average score: 6.33
