Question: Q: 1. In the hands of Spray and Velez, the journey is far more important than the destination.
2. Invited to sit in the facing seat, we have long minutes to watch, listen and assess, considering who these pilgrims are and what, aside from worship, has really brought them here.
3. If you're prone to carsickness, this might not be the ideal movie for you. But as a meditation on the way human beings fill the silence - or choose not to - it's an amazing accomplishment.
4. For the curious viewer.
5. A must-see, especially in a theater, where the lack of distractions makes it even more mesmerizing, a cinematic Rorschach test that lets you interpret the expressions on faces from halfway around the world.
6. It's hypnotic work with a terrific sense of cultural study and geography.
7. A colourful portrait of Nepal as a country driven by ancient tradition, yet also embracing necessary change.
8. A purifying moviegoing experience...
9. As a theatrical experience, Manakamana is spellbinding. But it's a complex spell ...
10. 'Manakamana' will reward those lucky few who still possess the patient tranquility to observe and absorb which is being so sadly lost.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Its tranquil pace will prove jarring for the blockbuster-inclined, but Manakamana rewards patient viewers with a singularly haunting experience.


Q: 1. Sober but stirring ...
2. If you can overlook the three or four endings, each more overdone than the last, there's a lot to like here.
3. "Bridge of Spies" is a neat encapsulation of America's great commercial director pushing for sophistication while sticking to familiar beats.
4. Hanks has never seemed more like a modern Jimmy Stewart, drink in hand, just looking to get home to his bed, as the script leans into its cavalcade of slightly bizarre negotiations with Eastern European goons.
5. A quaint and a romanticized look at largely unsung American heroes.
6. The film has a streamlined efficiency, but it feels like the work of a master who wants to please rather than probe.
7. What really manages to standout is the impeccable and sensational performance of Emmy Award nominee Mark Rylance, who steals and owns every scene he's present.
8. Bridge Of Spies is good, just not "Steven Spielberg good."
9. Confirms that when it comes to historic dramas, Steven Spielberg is still the best.
10. This is a handsome and mature entertainment, rich with novelistic intrigue.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Bridge of Spies finds new life in Hollywood's classic Cold War espionage thriller formula, thanks to reliably outstanding work from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.


Q: 1. It's steered to success - just - by Jones, a natural, likeable everygirl who will make you care, possibly against your will, about a story as old as the Alps.
2. A chirpy, tween-skewing, snowboarding-themed romantic comedy.
3. The dialogue is more sensible than the plotting, allowing us to forgive the film's more serious trespasses.
4. Hugely enjoyable feel-good British romcom, enlivened by a witty script, a terrific central performance from Felicity Jones, a superb ensemble cast and an infectious sense of fun.
5. A cheap and cheerful chick-flick that pads out its thin Cinderella-on-ice storyline with a string of frothy montages. Sure, it's soppy, but the target audience won't mind the slush.
6. Felicity Jones makes good on the promise showed in Cemetery Junction with this teen romance set on the slopes of a snobbish Alpine skiing resort.
7. Archetypal, feel-good fluff at it's best.
8. inoffensive, feel-good escapism and high jinks in the midst of extravagant surroundings.
9. Chalet Girl won't melt your heart, but it at least leaves a warm glow.
10. Exactly the kind of funny, sunshiny, teen-skewed romcom that Britain normally struggles to make.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Chalet Girl is light comedic fun geared for teenage girls, featuring a charming performance from Felicity Jones.


Q: 1. It's one of those marginal pictures you're not unhappy to have seen, but can't quite recommend.
2. Waterworld isn't Fishtar, but Kevin Costner's pricey, post-apocalyptic sloshbuckler isn't a seafaring classic either.
3. Just another special effects-laden, digitally enhanced, B-movie, adventure thriller.
4. Costner and Hopper give good characterizations. The entire movie, unfortunately, doesn't quite deliver the punch it ought to.
5. If the story seems a little waterlogged, it's still big, loud, and fun to watch.
6. Waterworld is a near-model summer fantasy: two hours and 21 minutes of loud, expansive fun.
7. Waterworld is the movie that didn't happen. Which is a roundabout way of saying that the infamous Universal film is very good, damn good -- not great, mind you, but rousing and continually entertaining.
8. Has the makings of a cult movie.
9. Although the show grew on me, it is too ridiculous for me to recommend it.
10. In the tradition of the old Westerns and Mel Gibson's Road Warrior flicks, this film provides good escapist fun.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Answer: Consensus: Though it suffered from toxic buzz at the time of its release, Waterworld is ultimately an ambitious misfire: an extravagant sci-fi flick with some decent moments and a lot of silly ones.
