EDIT
“Derivative in the extreme, yet for all its faults, I’ve choked on far worse sci-fi flicks in my moviegoing diet.” –

Death Wish 3 (1985)

“It’s probably saying something that Death Wish 3 is the junkiest of the Death Wish sequels -- it’s also the most ridiculous and, consequently, the most fun.” –

Teachers (1984)
62%
3/4
EDIT
“It’s too often painfully obvious in its implications and heavy-handed in its delivery, but that’s countered by the assembly of an exceptional cast as well as the prevalence of themes that remain relevant.” –

Jane Eyre (1944)

“Robert Stevenson would go on to become Disney’s most bankable director (Mary Poppins, The Love Bug, etc.), but don’t expect any spoonfuls of sugar here.” –

Ladder 49 (2004)

1.5/4
EDIT
“In an effort to elevate all these men to the level of heroes, the filmmakers have stripped them of most traits, in effect leaving us with a roomful of cardboard stand-ups.” –

“De Niro’s performance is a matter of taste: Some will marvel at his total immersion into a role that requires a lot of twitching while others will see early signs of the ham he would eventually become.” –

“Spider-Man: Far from Home ends up in the so-close-and-yet-so-far category. The first half is mostly terrific, but the film takes a tumble during its second hour.” –
