The Critic Game

The premise of this game is to try your hand at critiqing a movie in one phrase or less.

You know how you see a movie trailer or commercial, and those one phrase or less critiques by critics like Roger Ebert are shown saying stuff like: "A powerhouse of modern cinema", or "The best action movie of the year", or "Eventful and imaginative" and so on and so on?

What I'll do is name a movie. Then the next person will type their own one phrase or less review/critique, beit positive or negative, about the movie I just named. Then that person will name another movie for the next person to critique and then name their own movie and so on. Be honest, now. We're looking for both positive and negative responses.

Let's begin.
