Tarsem hasn't the Gilliamesque chops to make The Fall amount to anything more than a monument to preposterous thinking.

A wacky weekly comedy-mystery-adventure-romance that the whole family can enjoy, in colors that haven't been so super-saturated since the 1966 Batman.

More interested in melancholy wryness than belly laughs, and the low-key results have a pleasant fizz.

Lurches along a bit awkwardly, but always with utterly dazzling visuals and a goofy gag at the ready.

Narratively bereft...thematically redundant...[but] fans of the series and fanboy grumblers may have to agree that The Battle of the Five Armies is often entertaining.
