Like the thread title indicates, this is for awesome quotes in movie reviews.

Like these ones:

From this review of Bratz: The Movie (http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/Bratz-The-Movie-2456.html):
Bratz is like being raped by MySpace.

From Eric D. Snider's review of Transformers, I think (which I don't have a link to):
It's like spending a day at the state fair: a little bit of actual entertainment, a lot of embarrassingly cheesy attempts at entertainment, and the faint whiff of bull crap everywhere.

From Roger Ebert's review of The Grudge:
I was hoping it would exploit its locations, and become "Lost, Eviscerated and Devoured in Translation."

Ebert again, in his review of Resident Evil:
The characters have no small talk. Their dialogue consists of commands, explanations, exclamations and ejaculations. Yes, an ejaculation can be dialogue. If you live long enough you may find that happening frequently.

From the Washington Post's review of both Happily N'ever After and Code Name: The Cleaner: (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/04/AR2007010401962.html)
You won't see them, and even if you do you won't remember it the next day. They're the cinematic equivalents of the bad traffic jam: unqualified torture at the time, but utterly forgotten by the first martini.


Any others?

The one to immediately spring to mind, from Ebert's review of The Spirit:
To call the characters cardboard is to insult a useful packing material.

Ben Lyons:

"I Am Legend is one of the greatest movies ever made!"

No joke. This is the kid who took over Ebert and Roeper's At the Movies...

Really? I've never heard it before. Where else did he use it?

Eh, It's a great quote nonetheless.

Ebert on Armageddon:

Here it is at last, the first 150-minute trailer. ``Armageddon'' is cut together like its own highlights. Take almost any 30 seconds at random, and you'd have a TV ad. The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained. No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out.
