Question: Q: 1. A creaky staircase gothic.
2. Becomes a fascinating study of isolation and frustration that successfully recreates both the physical setting and emotional tensions of the Papin sisters.
3. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Murderous Maids is how restrained and sensitive French director Jean-Pierre Denis keeps his film.
4. ... a story, an old and scary one, about the monsters we make, and the vengeance they take.
5. The weight of the piece, the unerring professionalism of the chilly production, and the fascination embedded in the lurid topic prove recommendation enough.
6. Beautifully crafted and cooly unsettling...recreates the atmosphere of the crime expertly.
7. Dark and disturbing, yet compelling to watch.
8. Though far from a feel-good affair, it is never cheap or cynical. Its creepiness is well-earned.
9. Testud is the burning center of a clinically dispassionate film.
10. Murderous Maids pulls no punches in its depiction of the lives of the Papin sister and the events that led to their notorious rise to infamy...
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A historical account that is equally disturbing and engrossing, with a powerful performance by Sylvie Testud.
1. My face still hurts from laughing.
2. Too often, the viewer isn't reacting to humor so much as they are wincing back in repugnance.
3. Where Tom Green stages his gags as assaults on America's knee-jerk moral sanctimony, Jackass lacks aspirations of social upheaval.
4. Strictly for shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool types who find professional wrestling and monster truck shows too sophisticated for their simple-minded tastes.
5. Belongs in the too-hot-for-TV direct-to-video/DVD category, and this is why I have given it a one-star rating.
6. To say that this vapid vehicle is downright doltish and uneventful is just as obvious as telling a country skunk that he has severe body odor.
7. An inflated and excruciating 85 minutes with barely enough laughs to sustain 10.
8. I felt like a donkey laughing so hard at such stupidity and I feel like even more of a donkey admitting it in print.
9. Grotesque, stupid, pointless, and funny as hell.
10. There's something wrong with the cast of Jackass, and the simple fact of the matter is that watching people satisfy their masochistic tendencies isn't fun or funny.
Consensus: There's a good chance you'll be laughing hysterically at one stunt, but getting grossed out by the next one in this big screen version of the controversial MTV show.
Q: 1. There just isn't enough in the movie, despite its marvelous design, to warrant another visit to this material.
2. The kind of whiz-bang extravaganza that's OK for the under-12 set but might be a something of a slog for anyone older.
3. The promotional tag line promises a Peter Pan like you've never seen before, and that's true. But moreover, this feels like Peter Pan as it always should have been done.
4. Every generation deserves its own version of Peter Pan. Until the next one arrives in 2019 or so, this one will do nicely.
5. Apparently, the filmmakers felt characterization would only get in the way of the special effects.
6. Hogan introduces a subtle eroticism which gives "Pan's" theme additional complexity for adult viewers which should fly over the heads of children
7. Action-fortified, touching and entertaining from its beguiling beginning to its dreamy conclusion.
8. It succeeds because it goes back to the roots of the original -- there's none of that modernizing that made Hook so tedious -- and ventures bravely into some of Barrie's more subtle subtexts.
9. Has in the young British actress Rachel Hurd-Wood a Wendy for the ages.
10. As much a commentary on Peter Pan as an adaptation... an interesting if flawed tribute to all that is 'gay and innocent and heartless' in Barrie's enduring story.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Solid if far from definitive, this version of Peter Pan is visually impressive, psychologically complex and faithful to its original source.
1. Guest goes for the cheap laugh, and for the most part, most of the characters are dislikeable idiots.
2. style only gets in the way of what could have been one of the year's funniest comedies
3. A laugh-riot and will be especially appealing to those who cherish the way animals seem to be very patient with the foibles of humans.
4. Barking funny.
5. The rather unoriginal satiric flaw becomes obvious, in most cases, within 30 seconds, the film has little to do but repeat the same giant bull's eye gags over and over again.
6. You keep waiting for the movie to start. It never does, though.
7. It works because it is a very funny laugh out loud satire, with my two favorite nutsy characters being Parker Posey and Eugene Levy.
8. What a pity that with such funny material, Guest and company found it necessary to rely so heavily on sex as a supplementary source of comedy.
9. If it doesn't sustain the high level of lunacy "Guffman" did, it's still a delight. Like the best comedies, it plants its jokes deep in your brain and you find yourself laughing at them again hours after the film has ended.
10. Willard's delivery is so earnest and so pitch-perfect that he had me howling with laughter for the entire last half of the movie.
Consensus: A fine example of writer-director-star Christopher Guest's gift for improv comedy, Best in Show boasts an appealingly quirky premise and a brilliantly talented cast.
Q: 1. Not a movie to contemplate afterwards over a cafe latte, but it's fun, as far as it goes.
2. Contains not a single good line or memorable action sequence.
3. It's for moviegoers who like their pizzas with extra cheese.
4. It feels very much like barbarian lite, which is to say, it's nothing special at all.
5. The story is ancient history as interpreted not by Thucydides or Arnold Toynbee but the World Wrestling Federation.
6. Like every other action movie, it's designed for a 14-year-old boy's mentality, but it's enjoyable enough to turn most people into 14-year-old boys.
7. I'll just say that one won't confuse what's offered with a film such as Gladiator.
8. It's fast-paced, filled with entertaining action set pieces from start to finish, and is genuinely funny in spots.
9. A first-rate bare-chested-barbarian adventure, delivering impressive swordplay, flashy wizardry, and scantily clad heroes and heroines.
10. One of those movies that catches you up in something bigger than yourself, namely, an archetypal desire to enjoy good trash every now and then.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Answer: Consensus: Action adventure doesn't get much cheesier than The Scorpion King.
