• Artificial Intelligence: A.I. (2001)

  [7/10]

  "I appreciate all the interesting moral and philosophical questions Spielberg introduces in A.I., and the movie does manage to keep your interest -- espically visually -- for the almost three-hour running time."

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (2001)

  [8/10]

  "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone holds up well to repeated viewings, although you do start to see a lot of minor inconsistencies."

• Poseidon Adventure, The (1972)

  [7/10]

  "Classic disaster fare with good character development and some interesting religious philosophy thrown into the mix."

• 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."

• War of the Worlds (2005)

  [7/10]

  "When a story remains popular for over a hundred years, clearly the elements strike a chord in the human psyche, and who better than Stephen Spielberg to know how to make a movie that resonates that chord in modern audiences."

  Average score: 7.20
