Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews
- 8% The Last AirbenderDespite flashy special effects, The Last Airbender squanders the potential of its popular source material on an incomprehensible plot, laughable dialogue, and a joyless sense of detachment. […]
- 86% InceptionSmart, innovative, and thrilling, Inception is that rare summer blockbuster that succeeds viscerally as well as intellectually. […]
